So, there are many many options to buy ASICs now (hooray)!  Almost too many.. it has become hard to decide what to buy!  I thought it would be interesting for everyone to post which company they are planning on/have ordered ASICs from and why. I'll start it off by saying I've ordered some Avalon bulk chips and have no idea where I'm getting them assembled yet, but I am leaning towards Terrahash. I am also looking to buy an ASIC built on a smaller process node (BFL/kncminer/bitfury/etc), but I haven't decided which company to go with yet. I am leaning towards kncminer/bitfury because of their attractive prices. What have you ordered or are planning on ordering and why? |

None, don't feel comfortable buying anything right now.. BTC value is too shaky to invest in mining right now imo. It's only good for people who are loaded with BTC from previous mining, fresh investment doesn't look like great option at the moment.
I'd rather trade coins and try to rise my collection on that way. Just like I wouldn't buy coins at this moment, I wouldn't buy mining equipment too at these prices.

Terrahash does not seem to be accepting preorders/orders yet, but you can get on their mailing list at their website. KNCminer is accepting orders/preorders and apparently they've unwittingly set up some spurious off-exchange trading for the unregulated speculative derivatives "KNC preorder numbers" now recklessly being traded on bitcointalk. That's a real joker (tearjerker?) for newbies because KNC preorder numbers are free for the taking on the real McCoy site (kncminer.com), all of which are promises (assign your level of credibility here) for September delivery. It's a wild wild West out there. You might want to google these terms: Avalon Terrahash AsicMiner Butterfly BTCGarden.com KNCMiner Steamboat Thoroughly research this stuff and you'll probably be in a much better position to place your bets on the upcoming ASIC revolution. The wildcard, of course, is the exponentially growing difficulty factor for BTC. Another monkey wrench is whether the new hardware effectively sorts through scrypt, SHA-256 or something else. |

Picking one horse is a fool's errand. Diversification is key. I have chips ordered with Avalon, a Jalapeno from BFL, and I'm very intently watching Bitfury to see what comes of their endeavors. Bitfury is looking VERY promising this past couple of days. And of course there KNC Miner, whom the jury is still out on. I'll put a small amount toward any company that can prove to have a working product. I'm not jumping in with both feet until a clear leader emerges.  |

I haven't backed any ASIC yet.
Which sucks because you need to get in early, otherwise your fucked.
Can anyone tell me what Avalon preorder to go with? There are so many that I can't keep up.
And also I would like a something that works out of the box. I don't want to send chips to assembly etc..
I want a working miner ASAP.

You can get your feet wet with the KNC Jupiter Group Buy @ 0.50 BTC for each share: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=227400.0 |

I dono why all of you guys talking about ASIC when there is no ASIC to buy with instant delivery !!!
Only 10GH of Blade which is too expensive and small hash power.

Some people actually know how to look toward, and plan for, the future, rather than living hand-to-mouth...  |

Pretty sure KNC miner will turn out to be another scam/hyper delay.

Axtually, there is no tangible option to buy an asic. They either costs too much, they never arrive or they exist only on blueprint.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers |

All of them. The more people we have producing ASICs, the more everyone benefits.

Oh I didn't noticed that you are too big man and have huge plan for your life purchasing AIR like BFL is the future plan or what? Bitcoin mining is a VERY small part of my future. However, some people have made a career of it, and are doing quite nicely. One fella is currently shopping for a new Lamborghini to buy with his earnings. Failure to plan is a plan for failure. Keep living hand to mouth, if that's what works for you. 'Why would you go look for a job, when you've still got $200 in the bank?' I'll make sure to keep paying lots of taxes, so I can support you and your family... |
