If there was a miner being sold that you could get right now and it was profitable, everyone would buy it, difficulty would rise and it would no longer be profitable.
Only people who take a risk and preorder will ever have a chance of making a profit from mining.
I think it's great that you are telling everyone not to pre-order. Thats means more for me!
It's a gamble, some pre-orders have worked out, some haven't
Pre-orders that were good ideas:
- Avalon Batch 1
- Early Jalapenos
- Avalon batch 2
Bad ideas:
- pretty much anything else from BFL
- Avalon batch 3
- probably Avalon chips, but too early to tell
don't forget scam pre-orders
What I think we need is some kind of community authenticated pre-order product check in order to at least set a % of risk as to persons Identity as well as other facts.
However unrealistic to expect, we have lacked transparency with respects manufactures claims. Thus far Bitfury has raised the bar for ASIC details proven prior to taking pre-orders..
Yes Please avoid any Pre Orders, and if they don't have stocks please don't Buy, and if they don't accept credit cards please Don't Buy.
