Nearly a year ago I decided to take a plunge and reinvest ALL of my BTC into 15 BFL SC Singles. It has been a long time and I have been quietly watching BTC and mining away with my FPGA miners. Now it looks like BFL is actually going to ship and I see people asking outrageous prices for their preorders. I may sell a couple once mine arrive to try and pay for the whole lot but I wonder what the community thinks about this. How much should someone expect to get for a 1st week SC Single preorder and is it better to sell or mine? What is also the best way to sell it? Should I try to sell "shares" or just ship out the SC Singles as they arrive?

This is all brought on by an email I received from BFL today telling me that my SC Singles would ship soon and for me to approve the new design. That makes me think they could be shipping very soon and I would like to act quickly before the ASIC rush dies down.

You should do what makes you happy. Are you still into Bitcoin for the fun hobby aspect? Or has it changed for the money? Or is it one or the other? Nobody can really answer this question, it really just depends what you want out of the whole experience :)

I got into it originally for the promise of riches but I love the hobby aspect as well. I think maybe I will sell off 3 of the ASIC miners when they arrive and mine with the others. I am getting anxious for them to get here. I have never spent so much money on anything in my life. Not to mention it was nearly a year ago!
