Title: What should I do with my pre-orders?
Post by: MonkeyMarcel on August 29, 2013, 10:52:02 AM
Hi Guys

I am trying to figure out what my options are being that none of my pre-orders are gonna be mining profitably as it stands now on mining.thegenesisblock.com.

I have 2 pre-orders:
1. April 2013 pre-order 25GH/S BFL
2. July pre-order 256GH/S VirtualMiningCorp (ActiveMining)

Should I wait and mine hoping the $/BTC exchange rate increases to make it profitable again? I am thinking that if it is so much harder to mine, then scarcity will increase, which means the cost of BTC will increase too.

Should I sell my pre-orders? (And if so would you buy them from me as I am selling?)

Should I lay back and just accept the fact that my ass is about to get a shafting?

Please advise.

You may consider refund option as well.

Neither BFL or ActM do refunds.

Sell them cheap, imo. I just received my january bfl order this week. Your april order is well into the rush they experienced from march onwards. Its probably a safe bet that you will not see your order in 2013. Profitability will be nonexistent by then. Actm will not ship any products soon either.

I like this idea. Have you done this successfully yet?
