Hi all,
Wondering if it still makes sense to pursue an ASIC-based solution given the current market. Looking at the Asicminer USB devices it seems group buys go off at around 1 BTC each, and will generate (at current difficultly) about 2.85 BTC over the course of a year. The calculation seems highly levered to difficulty, though, and if BFL ever ships en masse (and as Avalon and Asicminer devices ship) how badly is it expected to increase?
Currently breakeven is probably around 130 days for a USB Block Eruptor? Could that number be the same (or even higher) about 129 days into the future?
