It is worth noting these are a really good deal, especially if you are worried or think that it is possible that the BFL boards will not ship on time or will be delayed. It is also worth noting that with the present rate of increase in the price of coin, it is entirely possible these will pay themselves off sooner rather than later. Especially if you start to see people "insuring" their BFL purchases against further difficulty increases by buying Bitcoin around August/September.

aye, that's about where my mind is at with FPGAs. ;p  Not sure I'm ready to buy any mining gear atm no matter how awesome it is. Trying to get rid of mine and take a break for a bit while I focus on other BTC ventures. But the price is enticing.

cheers

Do you agree with me that 90% Bitcoin price is gonna at least double in the coming couple of months?

Its not really the ASIC announcement that made me decide to sell all my Icarus boards. I've already decided to sell more than half of my mining farm a couple of weeks before the ASIC announcement. The main reason is that am moving to another country soon, and it would be imposible to move with 30 FPGAs + GPUs without being taxed. I don't wanna take such risk. More over during the relocation my mining farm is gonna be offline for at least a week.

I think our current target is $8. Remember that we were stable at $5 for a long time. The current price is part of a rise. I don't think it will double from here for a while, but there's no reason to think it won't keep going up a little more.
