the other thing is opportunity cost. if you put in 50BTC now and think you will break even in 10 months, but a new device/service is available in the next few months with a much better rate of return, your 50BTC is no longer liquid. in the real world, we look at ROI in years. in the btc world things change so quickly that planning ROI in years (or even 6+ months) can be very dangerous.

Are you including reward halvings in these numbers? 10 years is a long time.
That's a good point, and no, I'm not. I should probably just cut it off at a year--but with the higher values for hash rate increase, it honestly doesn't matter. |

I can certainly see buying these for their novelty factor (this is why I bought a few of the USB sticks) but yeah, I'm not really feeling it as an actual mining investment. But hey, props to those that buy one expecting to make any kind of profit, btc or otherwise, you've got more balls than I do  |

Is there a place to find an ideal configuration for these things once they arrive? What type of fan and case to use, etc.

Has anyone received a response from emailing yet? Just curious as to what kind of wait time I should be expecting.

Based on previous auctions and sales, winners/buyers have received their units within a week of payment. What other company can match that level of service? |

Thinking of taking the plunge and ordering a single blade. What is the easiest way to power these devices ? I'm assuming they don't come with power bricks. |

You literally are betting on Avalon not delivering chips. That's the ONLY way this makes any sense at all.
Oh- DUH. ASICMiner needs people buying BTC to keep their profits up. What happens when there's nothing left worth buying with BTC instead of "not-BTC"? What happens when SR goes down for a month?
They have to try and spur buy orders for BTC.
Not at this price though.

Same here. Where's the "shutupandtakemymoney" meme when I need it? Sounds like they are a lot busier now that they've opened the floodgates up to the public. |

At least give them 48 hours before you freak out...
This is a manual process, and already several hundred units were sold yesterday and need to be shipped. In the OP it was stated to expect a 1-2 day delay because of these units that were just recently sold... calm down!

this will be collectors items very soon and may not have much re-sell value, that is why they want to make a quick buck before avalon diy miners comes in..avalon sample chip may comes in at the end of the month, and those chips order may be shipped out in june - so that is where the party start...  |
