A year of mining with fair difficulty jumps would only ever net you about 4.8-5.0 BTC, of which 1.5BTC (at current prices) is needed to cover power costs
You could be right, I'm not a miner and the calculator (bitcoinx) might not include enough difficulty increase. I suppose economies of scale come into it. If you invested 50BTC today and ended up with 65BTC after expenses in 12months you have made 15BTC. IF BTC is only $400 in 12 months you might be break-even in dollar terms. If BTC is 3k in 12months.....you have made a cool $45k. And so it goes on, if BTC is $10k in 5 years you will have made $150k profit from the 10 cards that you had in the corner of your back-room in 2014-2015.

Or you could just buy Bitcoins and not mine and make that same amount of money when the price of the coins increase.

Where do you see the price headed? I'm very excited as well. I hope to see it blast past the ATH from BitFunder which was 0.0075 per share.

No, if you mine the idea is you get xBTC more back than you payed out. So you might pay 20BTC for equipment which will mine you 25BTC within 8-12months. If BTC stays flat you make 25% on your money, if it goes up you make x multiplied by the new higher value so the more BTC goes up the higher your profit margin over just holding. So: If 20BTC = 10k if you hold and BTC stays level after a year you still have have $10k If you mine and BTC stays the same then in a year you have + 25% which is $12.5k so 2.5k 'profit' If you hold and BTC goes up 200% (to 1.5k) then you will have 20x1500 = $30k so $20k 'profit' If you mine and BTC goes up 200% (to 1.5k) then you will have 25x1500 = $37500 so $27.5k 'profit'

Yes, we have a reserved a number of boards for our Pre-Order customers. We will ship those out this week. We will be offering all our pre-order customers a 20% discount off of our $1,999 price which is $1,599. Pre-Order customer can use their previous order payment and apply it to the Prospector boards.

Early days yet but never forget shares = divs. We could still be a big player (and a big player is just 1% and above in this multi-Billion dollar market) in 5 years time and 5 years of regular divs from company profits will be worth a lot more than you will be able to sell your shares for in year 1. But I agree the ATH was just speculation, if this solid news continues the ATH will likely be a new floor and we will trade above it. 0.007 on the 10Mill public shares only values the company at 30Mill USD. If we get a good reputation for selling in-stock equipment we can sell that value of gear in just a few months based on our previous sales figures. btw if you are REALLY excited check out the Hangout thread and post up a few vids or whatever.

Why would anyone keep a preorder for vmc brand asic instead of a hashfast?
Hashfast boards are now going for ~$3/gh
Vmc platinum miner is more than $10/gh

I understand it would be a much better deal to go with the hashfast boards shipping now. I am just wondering if there is any incentive to stick with the vmc asic instead. As of now it seems like they are equal in power/efficiency only the vmc machine is 4 times more expensive and shipping in a few months.

Ya , But the VMC ASIC will be a very good thing for the shareholders , and that's the only reason Ken is still working hard on getting his custom ASIC done ASAP....

Those are old miners I don't think they will ever be real products. What we have now is the Prospector and on the horizon is the Gold Rush miner which i believe is an optimized version of the Prospector. Those who held pre-orders for the old products will be receiving new products.

I will be receiving Prospector boards this week , from the stock saved for pre-ordered customers .

I was replying to jimmothy, it looks like he thinks that pre-order customers are getting the product they pre-ordered but like you said, they are getting new product. Those old items don't and won't ever exist.

Ken: Please allow selling hardware and manual pickup. This is important to improve customers confidence after huge shipping delays. If I were to buy a miner, from a company that had delays (all of them, VMC, BFL, and Avalon), I would demand to physically take delivery and pay cash in-place. Or no deal.
Acquire the retail license you need.
