Title: Thinking about buying an ASIC Post by: corbs132 on March 13, 2013, 05:03:02 AM What do you guys think? Too late in the game? Is 30 GH/s worth it at this point?
considering this: http://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/30gh-bitcoin-miner.html Title: Re: Thinking about buying an ASIC Post by: Lethn on March 13, 2013, 05:59:23 AM Honestly I'm highly suspicious of Butterfly, I'd maybe look at Avalon because they've actually bothered to ship them as promised but of course everyone seems to have already gone to them so it's doubtful you'll get one any time soon unless you're lucky or they increase production massively.

They don't really offer anything like that... Im personally looking for the Jalapeno... 4.5Gh/s would pull in a steady 20-25$ a day apparently... which isnt bad for a college student making about the same amount per week...

Title: Re: Thinking about buying an ASIC Post by: Gator-hex on March 13, 2013, 11:58:41 AM You might as well wait for Butterfly to produce a working item now.
The said they would be testing their new chip this morning. Butterfly is quickly running out of excuses so it's make or break this week I think. I hope it works, as I don't want to spend 650w on electricity costs (Avalon), as bitcoins are not exactly easy to sell to cover the bills.
