$3000 for a Jalipino that does 5GHs!
You do realize you could have spent that same money on 7970's, and still have to wait 1 year before you earn your money back.
5GHs, now, will earn you about $600 a month, if NO MORE jalipinos, or other devices get added to the network, other than yours. That is 5 months there. Now, when the rest come in a month, two months, three months... That 5GHs toy will only be 50% of what it is now, in hashing power of the network. Thus, it will only earn you $300 a month, then $150 a month, then $75 a month... That is if the price REMAINS at $120 per BTC. Thus, it will take a year, at that price.
There is always alt-coins! Just not Scrypt alt-coins for your jalipino... but if you had 5GHs in a video-card rig... You would only suffer a slight loss of $20 a month, which will be nullified by the majority of card-miners switching to the alt-coins and raising the value of them, since they/we are the ones with the "value", and bulk of the BTC. You really think we are going to PAY cash for BTC in the future? Better hope BFL is going to buy your BTC... No wait, they already have your money, and now they also want your BTC. lol. It's a loose-loose situation.
Enjoy your purchase.
