Do you still want to buy a BTC miner? Better read this first.

While less interesting to me than mining, some folks are making pretty good coin selling miners in hand (and still some pre-orders).  So... there is more than one way to make a return, but for me... being the middle man just seems like not a lot of fun.

This kinda reminds me of: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6566.0

Expect a similar thread in two years.

I remember that thread and reading it after I had sold a bunch of Bitcoin I'd bought under $1 and sold for maybe $6 or so. Because of that thread I bought back in at $4 and watched as the price increased to like $30 within two more months.

I think one thing to mention that does make this different than the GPUs is that ASICs have 0 resale value, while a lot of us mining with GPUs knew we had friends we could sell them to or extra computers we could use them in if it became unprofitable for some reason.

Great read! I am looking right now at why I should build or purchase a miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253782.0)... knowing more about bfl's chip really helped to weed them out as a potential.
