I should be able to get a refund on my 30GHs and 60GHs BFL miners.  They are March this year.  I had a previous (august 2012) 30GHs order that was refunded last year.  I regret cancelling that order now.  I reordered and got sucked in again with the hype, but what should i do with my other 2 BFL orders.

1. Wait for my ASICs ?   or


Get a refund and...

2. Order with KnC

3. Invest in Scryrpt GPU's (maybe wait till 9000 series)

4. order with some other ASIC maker

5. wait for more efficient and cheaper models to emerge

6. wait for some sort of scrypt ASIC (if it ever happens)

7. Invest in Crypto

8. Invest in a crypto service!

9. Run away and forget BTC, LTC and all the rest.


I would love to hear people opinions Smiley

How did you pay for your order with BFL? Aren't they no longer honoring refunds now (unless you raise a big stink with your cc company / paypal)?

If by "invest in crypto" you mean "invest in a cryptocurrency," as in just buy bitcoins, then that would be what I would do.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
...
...
In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber
...
...
ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)
...
...
The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Drive to Hollywood, buy $2k worth of crack rocks, pick up a couple of street bitches that don't look too weathered, drive them to Vegas, put them on Fremont street for $500 a pop ten times a night and profit massively.

I'd invest it in a high performance GPU miner and mine Litecoin to just trade for BTC. Depending on where you reside I'd stray from investing in shares.
I'd also purchase a few BTC from locals to get to know a few of them and perhaps even get regular meetings going. It all depends how into Bitcoin you are.

Of course not, he was dead serious. But the guy he's thinking about has ceased all activity, unfortunately.

And to reply to OP:

I missed the vote.  I would invest in cryptocurrency.  Then you have some other opportunites with investing or loaning for interest.  I don't think it's quite enough to run away with, but that's amusing.
