I'm thinking about to buy 2 of these blades.

I have no BTC so I have to buy 100 to buy the blades.

The simple question is worth it for that price?

I was thinking about when I mined 50BTC with them I could buy a new one, than an other and so... But with the calculation of 40% difficulty increase per month it's a never ending story with no profit.

What do you think about it?

Thats on everybody's mind Elgabo. Invest now and profit from the low diff untill the diff is too high and you need new devices? Or wait until the new devices arrive? Maybe the BTC is worth alot more by then so the calculated fiat price will also rise. Or just buy them and don't care about ROI because its just a hobby? I can imagine a lot of hobbies that are expensive and don't return shit .

It really depends on what your financial situation is and if you don't mind losing some money. Truth is these blades probably will sell in the future (+1 year) for the same price or higher or slightly lower. Proof of this is when you look for BFL single FPGA now, these sell around the same price as when they were sold new or more even.

That is a good point.  Everyone says the ASICs will have no resale value.  I call BS.  Look at the block erupter USBs on ebay.  People are buying them now just to resell.  And Blades are on ebay right now for $6800, used.  They've already been mining for a month if they are first batch, which means they've made 30 coins or so already.  People are very shortsighted in this business.  That, and some just paint a dire picture because they don't want others to mine out of greed.

So if one does decide to buy, what really is the easiest, fastest way to get that many bitcoins (if US based)?  I have like 5 now, so we need to buy 45 (or more).

Thanks!

I think I'll wait for new devices and jump in then. I try to look this investment only from business side. I would pretty happy if a few blades could hash on my desk but I think they can't make enough income to buy new ones to win the competition against difficulty.

If I could make at least 5%+ with each investment against difficulty it would be such a good business. But at this price I think it's better to hold money and wait.

Don't mean to thread jack but I have made some mounts for these blades which I am auctioning off here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225205.msg2368858#msg2368858

 Seemingly still available. Just placed an order for a blade with friedcat this morning.

Cool, thanks! Sent an email--cant decide between a blade or a bunch of USB miners.

May be I have bad luck. Wrote to asicminer.blades@gmail.com on 30th may for purchasing still no answer, wrote yesterday again no reply. My colleague wrote them and receive answer after 2 hours. What to do?

If you have appropriate fans it should be mining more at high clock.

[dogie]

Like this:

Wind tunnel design helps a LOT, conveys all the heat up and away. Everything much cooler and with lower fan speeds.

Remember the giant setup thread if you get stuck:

What does your configuration and stratum command look like for bitminter? That is the only pool I haven't been able to connect to, and 1 or 2 others have said the same thing in the bitminter pool thread.

[twitami1]

Yeah, I emailed too, few days ago. No answer yet.
