Please  don't vote If you don't own a BFL Jalapeno !

Then why putting "blank" question there? :)

Poll is not specific.  There are 2 kinds of ROI - 1) fiat ROI 2) BTC ROI

1) fiat ROI will vary day to day as BTC price changes but I'm pretty sure most everybody before April orders will have made fiat ROI barring bad devices
2) Not one single BFL device every made will achieve BTC ROI unless it was given as a free gift (all those promo units BFL sent out to the tech media).  Very few devices ever made BTC ROI other than CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs.

this.

my 2nd day preorder jally made fiat ROI many times over but nowhere near BTC ROI.

With effectively free power, mine will mine until they blow up. 

all my jallies blew up :), they couldn't last more than 11 days. If u are still hell bent on buying stuff from BFL, invest in a good psu to run their asics, else your circuit breakers will kiss the floor, and you will experience a nice lights out situation. Then when you try to boot it up again, welcome to the world of "Unknown Device". Then u find yourself trying to RMA it, which further incurs cost, lol.

My single purchased in Jan, delivered in August made back it's money in dollars even at 100/btc.

Since then I have been adding chips to them, paying for those in bitcoin, and have made back my investments with time to spare. When you couple in the overall costs, I expect to make back 300-400% of my investment. Taking them to 32gh is truly the way to go.

Jalapenos were without a doubt the best bitcoin investment I have seen. :-) And if you have one, have a good power supply, and want to go to 16gh I can do it for labor costs in bitcoin, you can get the chips from Ebay.

Yeah, the power supplies sucked. However if you still have them and want to sell them drop me a PM. I could use a few cores.

There is an error in this. We all chose to buy units with either dollars or bitcoins. If dollars, then there is no ROI till we sell coins. If bitcoins, then you either convert to dollars at either end or stay in bitcoins at either end.

Technically my ROI then is zilch, as I have not converted my bitcoins to dollars. I have however bought a Chili, chips, and a really good Papa John's pizza which is far more than the 169 I have invested in dollars. So my ROI is positive.

PIZZA!!! :DDD

You gonna make all of us hungry lol

I tell you, the pizzaforcoins thing *worked*. The people at the local PapaJohns were slightly confused about the concept, but it worked.

My 12 year old son was amazed. And I realized that he will grow up thinking something like this as normal. To me it's beyond revolutionary: I paid for a pizza from a vendor I had no relationship with using a currency neither issued by, backed by, or tainted in any way by a government of any kind.

Wow.

We're living in exciting times man lol

Mine arrived Dec 28th 7.2Gh's so no :P made 0.075 so far ^^
