Now that SOSLover has promised to not crap anymore on this thread, I'm certain we can get back to more cool-headed debate. I'm sure we can trust him in that he won't be back now that he's realized the losses from his panic.
To anyone who may have read SOSLover's claims about PMBs like PAJKA being scams, I've written an article to elaborate more on the topic:
http://coin.furuknap.net/are-perpetual-mining-bonds-scams-not-really/
The conclusion is simple; No, PMBs are not scams. They fall in value during rapid difficulty rises, but so does any mining and I'm fairly certain you won't hear any rational mind claim that mining is a scam for that reason.
I'm also contemplating writing an article or maybe an app that will show the numbers on PMBs currently for sale. At the moment, with the exception of 100th, PAJKA upgraded is the best performing PMB on the market, beating TAT.VM by almost 30%. Because that upgrade is free, the question becomes whether the performance of currently higher-performing PMBs is enough to cover the difference until PAJKA upgrades.
In my opinion, BFL is now ever closer to full shipping. They have just started shipping the Singles and have, reportedly, shipped all Jalapenos ordered before August 22, 2012, which is likely a large portion of the pre-boom Jala orders (https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/191-wednesday-june-12-shipping-update.html).
In short, I see PAJKA as one of the most promising PMBs right now.
