you may end up with better profit buy selling it now. assuming netwrok hash rate grow and difficulty. in 2 weeks from now and you will be mining 0.5 btc per month and no body will buy it from you at that point.

Cant agree more with Pinwheel. Frankly speaking you will make much better profit if you will sell it now. You can simply convert that FIAT to BTC and can enjoy much more returns

Cheers

I am not interested in selling it just yet. Not at all in fact.
17th august will be exactly 1 month since i started mining (ignoring the downtime ). By then i should have mined 1.5 - 1.6 btc ( ~ 150 - 160 $ ). That covers the cost of the unit, excluding the customs duty ( i paid 149 USD back in september 2012).

I think i am gonna let it run as it is, till i recover its cost

Will that ever happen? Grin

As of today, I have mined 1.3 BTC. In less than a month.
assuming i can mine another 0.2 btc in the next 4 days ( usually takes a little over 2 days ), that would make it 1.5 btc ~ 140 to 150 usd.

the box cost me a total of 300 USD ( including customs duty ).
I guess another month and a half of mining should recover the costs, assuming btc value doesn't drop.

practically, my daily reward is in the range of 0.06 to 0.08

I have so far mined 0.86 btc since july 17th, but i had about 10 -11 days downtime during that period.

You should probably pick up a Pi.

If you are not able to mine 24x7x30, i think you should sell it.

Are you really able to mine 0.1 btc per day?

So your BFL jalapeno will be paid off in just 1 month? i.e. 3 btc = $300 approx

Mining calc from thegenesisblock.com says ROI is 50 days.

Congrats bud.

So now you know BFL single is more precious than baby

But finally you got your precious, Golum will not be happy now Tongue

Cheers

You are absolutely right. This is currently my most prized possession.
It is worth to me more than the Rs 17000 + it cost me.

BTW, I had to pay customs duty of about 75$ on top of 149$ for the device and about 35$ for shipping.

around 270$ in total.
expect to pay hefty duty for the more expensive products....

Grats St Lucifer

thanks benson.

I have done some quick calculations.. It seems if i keep mining 24/7, i can pay my rent with the income.

That is very awesome. If you do get to pay your rent in Bitcoin and I would love to do a blog piece on it.

Hello boys and girls.

I finally picked up my BFL Jalapeno from the post office yesterday.
Got it to work after struggling for about an hour.

It is currently mining at around 5 Gh/sec

The order was placed in the second week of September 2012, and the product arrived on 15th June.

That's 9 months. I could have had a baby by now!!!!

here's a screenshot.
