You should be able to buy quad LX150 board for in the range of 250-300 right now. Anything more than that is overpaying for it.

The $800 is for Ztex 1.15y board. So you say i shouldn't buy it?

Price is around 800$.

That's more than enough to purchase an ASIC device, at least through Butterfly Labs. At this point, purchasing a FPGA may not be the best idea.

Butterfly BitForce Little Single SC is really nice, but from what I hear it's a scam...

Price is around 800$. When you say "skyrocket" you mean like 100% / 200% increase in difficulty? Or more?

Is there any reasonable alternative for mining now? I can't afford buying ASIC but i'd like to take part in bitcoin minig as i'm thinking in long term perspective. Like in 5-10 years how much will 1BTC be worth?

Hi guys

I'd like to ask for your advice if starting FPGA mining right now makes sense? I've got an opportunity to buy ztex fpga ( ~1Ghps ) for decent price, and i'm not sure weather it is a waste of money now.


How much will the difficulty increase per additional 1Thps introduced to the network?


Tanks for your advice
Matthieu
