I've given up and I'm mining altcoins at this point. If you don't put down $5,000+ you can't make ROI and even after spending all that money the difficulty:price ratio is rising quickly.
If I was going to buy an ASIC today I guess the Cointerra one looks ok, but who knows what's going to happen by April then it's delivered?

The thought of even waiting for April to get delivery on an ASIC is ridiculous, presuming its even delivered then. Might as well chuck your money down the sink
Like you say, altcoins are a much safer bet at thist time.
By that logic, everything is ridiculous as there are no ASIC options that could possibly make ROI that will ship out. Assuming Cointerra actually does ship their January batch it will push the difficulty into the stratosphere. If then don't then maybe KNC makes sense. Just checked, Q2 2014 which means by May 31st and the price/performance is slightly worse. If even half these guys deliver what they're promising then the difficulty is going to explode, so if the price of BTC doesn't explode as well it will all be pointless.
Yeah, I remember why I gave up on this.
This is true too...
The only gamble im willing to make is on KNC. They delivered the last ones on time and way above chip expectations. So that 3 TH could be up over 3.5 when it arrives. And this being their second time around, they know exactly what they have to do. I was in the first 5 seconds of the VIP KNC orders. So I only paid 10k and will be FIRST day at least. So Im happy with that.
