More and more I have no doubt that the only people that will win in this ASIC Rat Race are:
a. The Company's Selling them(Most of which are deceiving and crooked. I truly believe most of these companies like BFL are mining with the units and thus the LONG delays in shipping them )
b. Those that took a gamble last year and already have one(Which I don't believe is that many people actually(10%, if that many, have one, 90% are in the Rat race waiting for one(While more then likely the one their waiting on is mining for the company. Nice long Burn in
)
c. Those that are close to getting their Pre Orders BUT ALSO that have a large Pre Order ( 1 TH or more)
Above are the ONLY people that will make any decent money.. The rest of you(Depending on what and from who your purchased) will be LUCKY to break even with VERY little if any ROI.. And a LOT of you wont even break Even..
I came to this realization about 3 days ago when I looked at what I currently have(GPU miner) vs what I had on order..
I cancelled my BFL order(Yes got all my Refunds) and just this week my KNC order(refund Processing.. They seem to be honest)..
The Answer was right in front of my face.. My GPU miner.. (GPU Miners are DEAD... LOL Well yes they are if you dont know what your doing)
I took my (Soon to be) KNC refund and used less then 40% of that Refund and ordered a Second GPU miner that will also serve as my my PC and Gaming PC(Very High end Gaming PC) I dont play games much so effect on mining will me small(You can actually play games and still mine if you know what your doing
)
So I will now have 2 GPU miners rigs for a total of right at 3 GH... Wow you say that will not do anything when it comes to BTC.. And you are 100% correct.. But I wont be mining BTC(Well not directly I mean)
I will be mining Alt Coins that are Automatically Exchanged and converted to BTC. Been doing this over a month now and with my 1 miner made $200 after Electric taken out(I pay very little for my Electric rate)
With the second miner/Game PC coming this week I will Avg $400 a month Profit.. Yes not a ton.. But the beauty of the way I am now mining, this $400 per month should be sustainable and even slowly increase for the next 2 or 3 years no matter what the difficulty does to BTC.. (As long as the whole BTC and Alt Coins dont crash which in that case all ASIC miners will be SOL too anyway) Putting Pen to paper I will make much more doing this over then next 1 to 3 years then I even would with my late to the game ASIC
I am sure I will be flamed BUT in reality this Post should be sicked here..
Good luck everyone...
