i live in Belgium... a better question over here is: won't there be TOO MUCH rain

and i know it's always a gamble (everything in life is i suppose), but that's also why i mention that i'd be happy with a break-even scenario that doesn't take ages.
because if i can get a break-even out of it (which is, ofcourse, less cool than a profit), it would mean i didn't waste anything.

and if i can get to a break-even and then earn back the electricity that goes into mining, i can keep mining until the basic's die of 'old age'

if it doesn't give me a break-even, then i'd kinda go to the "what's the point" camp, because in this world,
nobody does anything for free.. which means nothing can be kept up if it makes you a loss.

Well,

since i'm still restricted to this place (and it's probably a newbie question anyways),
i'll be asking it here
my questions are, i hope, simple enough for you guys to know an answer.


1) is it still profitable (or atleast break-even-able) to order 2 basic's now (and have them, i suppose, around end of january somehwere)

making a profit out of it is great - but i'm also interested in just keeping this thing going, so i'll be happy with a break-even scenario.

2) i want to order them, but i'm confused as to what site best to order:
btcfpga.com or bitcoinasic.net

3) payment from my credit card is taken... when?
at the preorder (immediately?) or when the basic's are ready? or when they get shipped?


thanks!

not 100% sure about how to play,

but i guess i'll try for -3

i'm splitter, new to the bitcoin world (although i heard about it years ago).
also made a post in the lottery for newbies thread already.

looks like this is really THE place to be for all things btc related, huh?

i'll just say hello over here
Although i've heard about bitcoin back when it started,
i was kind of like "hmm, this looks awesome... but will it succeed?"...
then i lost track of it and now i'm like "ah nuts, i should have started back then".

oh well... it's never too late they say!
so, i've started mining (still trying to find the best pool for me),
but i have to go out and buy better hardware


anyway, i want to thank you for this thread, and be added to the lottery as well:
