Bitcoin Forum

Well i`ve been lurking for a while, and just signed up as am looking into my first Asic. So hello to you all..

ASIC?  you would be joining the back of a very long queue!!

Which ASIC are you looking into?

Edit: And welcome!  :D

You can order only BFL as far as I know, but in discussion i see some people waiting almost 1 year  ;D

So I dont think it is worth

Welcome to the forum :) Good luck getting an ASIC! I would spend some time reading about BFL on bitcointalk before placing an order, you'll be in for a looooong wait. Might be better waiting for the next available batch from Avalon. :)

Just thought I'd say, Hello :P

Likewise! greetings to you all..

Welcome  :)

Welcome.

Asic is too risky. I still think that buying gpus is okay, since you can actually sell them, while I can imagine that ASICs will lose their value in a year.

I feel FPGA chips are the way to go if you can get one relatively cheaply rather than spend money on an ASIC machine you might not get for a year, only reason I haven't jumped into the queue, don't know how long the wait will actually be.

 :-\ I wonder if there's any updates on that by the way...

I was seriously considering buying one as well until I read around here about the long waits :( So I put my money into ASICMiner shares, already paying off :)

buy 7970 GPU and you can sell it one or two year later.

I too was interested in asic but then found out its a pipe dream. Just made my first rig with a 7970, slightly overclocked its hashing at 580

Welcome to Bitcointalk!

JTM29- can you share a link to the site where you invested in mining shares? thx-

Yep, I invest here https://www.havelockinvestments.com where you can buy 1/100th of a share in ASICM, currently trading at around BTC0.02. I bought about 50 at 0.014 about a week ago. Havelock is good as its a super simple interface, and there are no trading fees. Only a 0.0010 (i think) withdraw fee.

Check out this thread for info on the ASIC Miner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.0

investing in such things has never been my bag baby! learn it yourself and do it yourself, other people dont care about your money like you do

Nice to meet you! :)

Best bang for buck , hash/watt ratio and card price.

Gigabyte 7950 undervolted, my opinion tho gpu in bitcoin will be shortly lived, but can target other alt coins

+1

got it

Good Luck.
