They will make a lot of money back during that short window, but no where near the cost of the device. I believe, by buying this equipment, we're all just shooting each other in the foot.
Why do you think people will not make their money back. If you are one of the first to the table (timing is crucial here I think) mining at 1TH/s should recoup your $30,000 pretty quick even if the reward is halved to 25 and the difficulty starts to ramp up. Like I said calculations may be wrong but it does seem like their is an opportunity here Considering they will release more then one at once. Global hashrate doubles, you'll make half your guess with 1TH/s. 1 week goes by (2016 blocks found) and difficulty increases astronomically. Goodluck! Isn't there a limit on how quickly the difficulty can increase? Does anyone know what that limit is? |

It can increase by up to 4 times every retarget. But note that if the network hashrate massively increases without the difficulty keeping up, retargets will be more rapid than once every 2 weeks, so the difficulty can actually increase quite fast. |

I know it's recalculated every 2016 blocks to take 2 weeks, and readjusts the difficulty to compensate if those 2016 blocks took longer then or shorter than 2 weeks time. If done in 12 days, then it's going to jump by ~17%. If it's done in 10 days, then it increases ~40%. If it's done in 16 days, it goes down ~13%. Etc, etc. |

When companies order chips like these, they arrive all at once.. If BFL has any common sense, they will flood the market with these things so everyone has a 'chance' at getting the first 1TH/s machine. Then everyone will complain that their ROI has risen back to 2 years. |

Idiot, Amazon dont make money on selling hardware. They make money on services ....aka selling books thro Kindle.
Appl doesnt make money on your I-products... They make money on App Store.
BFL loves idiots like you.
/thread
What's your point? BFL doesn't have an app store, they only sell hardware. My point is exactly that. As someone pointed out, it does not make any financial sense for such price point. Its not like they can have trillions chips to ship. Anyone thinks the low price point is to completely conquer the market is idiot |

As you said, many ppl will try to have " the first chance" All your preorders funds are unprotected. Remember that |

So your actual return over the first 6 months would probably be a sliding scale of upward difficulty but your initial investment seems like it should be paid off rather quickly |

Every 2016 blocks, the difficulty would most likely quadruple. Which means in the first week, you'd already see your max profits get quartered. Give it another week (if it even takes that long) and they get quartered again (1/16). Another week, another quarter (1/64). The final week, another quarter (1/256). Not as shiny, is it? |

even by 1/2, a shit storm is brewing! 1/(2^n)  Also, if it quadrupled like that, the difficulty would increase every 3.5 days. That's scary. |
