Evening All!
I am the very proud owner of a BFL Mini-Rig and could not be more excited! Hashing on Eclipse, and just a little more impressive than my old Blade I just sold!
I wonder how long it will make decent money given the rapidly increasing difficulty? What is next in line? I don't think anything on the market will be able to compete for a while - KnC (When and if) only produces the 400GHs Jupiter, and Asicminer seems happy with the 10Ghs level blade they are rereleasing shortly. Is there any future in mining as an individual into the end of the year? Custom mining? What are people going to do with these hundreds of asic chips BFL is handing out?
Any thoughts welcome, but just wanted to share my good news with you all! Thanks! TheBTCrit

Congrats on the new MiniRig. Here I am waiting for a Jalapeno. Do a brother a sold and run it on my 50miner acct for overnight. So I can buy a couple of USB block erupters.  You can pm me for the login. KNC seem to be a popular choice, right now. 8K for 400Ghz is a pretty good price per Ghz. Providing that they and deliver as promised. I am please with the shares in a KNC group buy I purchased. They have doupled in value. I hope to get my own KNC in the near future. I have been unemployed for a year and I just got a job, starting in two weeks. |

Ha - my business partner would have my guts for garters if I did that! KnC is popular true, I just don't know with no foundry, manufacturing, etc, etc...!! At least I have been to BFL and can confirm they are there working their backsides off to get deliveries out! |

oh I wish! BFL couldn't get the 1.5 TH rig to work. 500GH is all I'm stuck with! Be happy to post some pics - stupid question, can you attach local photos somehow? Seems only online stuff can be posted? |

500 GH is amazing but I thought BFL promised to honor the 1500 GH hashrate. Did you agree to a lesser rate? Did they reimburse you a portion of the purchase price?

Ah ... You assume I got it from BFL. I didn't, got it resale. Yes I paid more ... much more that their asking price. I don't care as its hashing for me right now while others are waiting!
BFL are paying out three rigs per 1500GH order I believe to make right on their promise.

I use http://postimage.org/ ... they even give you the code you just cut and past into your post so you don't have to do it yourself. Should look like this: And please post the images in original size and NOT rescaled (I hate those, you can't see anything on them on a 30" screen w/o zooming)  Cheers one4many |

This sounds like a BFL shill. Everyone knows they aren't shipping anything  |

He bought the publically advertised unit, that was put on ebay. Look at his posts, not hard to work out rather than spreading FUD.

Now you just hope and pray for the network diff not to skyrocket due to Avalon DIYs, BitFury and KNCMiner. You will have a hard to impossible time on regaining your initial investment if the device was priced similar to what we see in here for in-hand BFLs.
Some pics would make your post a bit more trustable.

Honestly, why should we care? If he bought the thing on Ebay, chances are he overpaid, but if he did, that's his business, and his and his partner's view of the future. For us, though, it provides no signal regarding BFL production or their plans or capacities right now. So, to him I say: good luck. And otherwise, right now, I say: good weekend. |

Thank you for your comments, all very interesting! The point of my post was really to gain thoughts on what was coming up after the 400-500GHs machines.
You are quite correct in that 3 months will be needed to come close to paying this off. I do not have faith in KnC having anything out before ... well, this year honestly!
All in all it's been a fascinating project learning about Mining, and getting involved in a big way! Although it doesn't really matter if people thing I'm lying or full of it, I shall endeavor to attach photos and proof of my hashrate - hopefully that will be enough!
I didn't but on eBay, but I certainly paid what some would consider a 'crazy price!'
