Title: Did I miss the train or was it a smart move? Post by: EzCheese on September 02, 2013, 12:30:41 AM Howdy all!
Looks like I'm stuck here until I earn my way out, so why not post some questions. I was this close to buying a knc Mercury miner, but something told me to double check the numbers. If anything, I want a quick ROI or it's just not a good investment to drop that much money on something. Unfortunately, with all the difficulty/calculator simulators, the 100Ghz model will not make an ROI even if it's shipped by October. I put faith in the difficulty predictions because of how many units knc has sold. Did anyone else feel this way and avoid buying anything ASIC at this point? Right now I see it as profit if you were one of the lucky folks who mined early, bought bitcoins early, or even luckier if you got something from bfl. ;) Right now I can't find anything that will make ROI, everyone is selling at double or quadruple the price for the 1st gen rigs. I guess the only 2nd wave is if someone makes a scrypt miner and you're lucky enough to get on the pre-order list (and if they ship. Thanks, EZ Title: Re: Did I miss the train or was it a smart move?
