Prospero X-1 (100Ghash/second) worth it?

[arandy]

I have made enough money to take out some and buy 10pcs of the Prospero X-1 (100Ghash/second)
This wil give me 1000Ghash/s but the rig won't come before march 2014 probably.

I hear allot about big companies coming in next year with allot of power and i'm wondering won't the difficulty go up so high my machine won't make any profit anymore before it's even installed?

Please advise. I really don't know how to predict the difficulty until April or so.
I used this site http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ and filled in difficulty of 2609,482,680 but no idea if this is to low for april 2014 or way to high.

I know where these Chinese guys are located in Shenzhen. Don't even dream of getting these on time if you get them at all. That's all I will say.

Probably the difficulty would be too high by then... Buy bitcoin and keep now since it has dropped to about $800...

Black Arrow is one of the few companies that has consistently delivered products on time and have been very transparent in their business practices. And if you are worried about buying directly from china, bobsag3 here on the boards is a US reseller for them. http://www.minersource.net He is also a part of the DZ miner co-op which has tons of Black Arrow bitfury boards hashing away as we speak.

As far as ROI goes for the X-1, that is speculation at best. I personally do mostly scrypt mining at this point but I did order one X-1 for the hell of it and I expect it to probably break even and mabey make half a bitcoin in profit at best depending on where difficulty is at by the beginning of march.
