I was thinking the same thing. 25 ghs isn't all that much.

Yes this 25 Ghs is too low to worth the buying!

Definitely want to consider other hardware options.  At 5+ watts / GH it's exceptionally inefficient.

I think its been said a few times its better to just buy the btc and keep it then waste time on mining equipment which cant earn back its cost.    Perhaps also a mining contract might be more profitable also, not sure but if others have the advantage of economies of scale and already up and running then possibly cheaper to buy part of their operation for the same amount of time as this equipment would last

If you really want to buy one, I'd recommend checking out used ones for sale here, or on eBay. I wouldn't buy directly from BFL.

But if you want to pay the $150 used for it or whatever it is, you could always just double your investment and buy an Antminer S1 - much better miners IMO.

Do yourself a favour, do not buy from that company. If your determined to get some sort of cheaper sha 256 miners consider.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417159.0

Or almost anything other than that.

if you find it really cheep and with todays cheep is less than 50 usd and have free electricity then go for it
otherwise buy the new  miner that resembles gridseed and you have more hash 31-38 ghs and it consumes
less power.
So cheep and free electricity what you have in mind

PS I had two BLF a 60 single and a jalapeno
never failed me but moved in higher equipment now
