March 30, 2013, 04:34:01 AM

I am thinking to buy this FPGA from this seller to experience mining. Do you think it worths $2000?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Considering, BFL made an update that they should be shipping late next week (doubt it, but thats what was said), 3 batches of avalons being shipped, i don't think it would be worth it.

Would take a very long time, if ever to recoup your $2000 investment.

No.

With 1.6GH/s, it generates about 0.12BTC per day at current difficulty.

Even if you have FREE electricity AND bitcoin difficulty never increase, it takes 185 days to pay for itself.

To me, its value is below $500 Grin
