Title: Bitmain Scrypt ASIC – Antminer L1
Post by: Oldiesel on September 18, 2014, 08:48:30 AM

Unlike the policy of Bitmain, they starting pre-orders now.

Any thoughts about this?

Paying 1.3 BTC pre-order while the bitcoin is taking a dive (slow but certain) can leave you in 3 months with a miner devaluated to .5 BTC without even mining a bit.
We have all see it go wrong with Black Arrow.
