Its not to say I am not a gambler but anything over 3 months payback is a no go for me. That was a hard lesson learned.

So I must be doing something wrong.
I can give you $1000 and get 2 SP20s in a few days that maybe will get me $1000 in BTC back in roughly 105(ish) days time barring large swings in price/diff and cheap power.
-OR-
I can go buy $1000 worth of BTC right now which gives me almost 3 of them... again, right now.
All I see is the risk and not the payout. What exactly am I missing. What are you gambling on?
some, like the OP who got 30, will sell on ebay, amazon for $750-800. the count is actually at 146 units right now and someone even gave extra 0.001 BTC (paid 0.041) must be raskul ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Different situations. Don't judge by the past when we were having +15% difficulty increase all the time. Now the difficulty stopped and even if it will go up it will go much slower than before. People are also using these miners as feet/room warmers so some may have different personal reasons that are different from yours.

Now, my electric is not quite as cheap as his but i'm good til ~90bil. After that, i'll dig em out in winter every year.

~0.5W/GH - 0.295$/GH
It's too bad you had to resort to deceitful advertising. This was a good deal without fudging the numbers. You cannot get .5 J/GH and $.295/GH. If you run this at .5 J/GH you will be paying over $.6/GH.

If you run this at .5 J/GH you will be paying over $.6/GH. The title character limit is small so fitting everything is hard. I did this kind of advertising on my previous GB and nobody complained. Also there are 13 links with reviews + efficiency graph so I am sure that everyone that is joining this already know what are they getting into.

What was the ROI in fiat from HODL'ers who invested a year ago? I'd say miners fared better than HODL'ers in the past 12 months...

You get the most fiat by having the most bitcoins. Always calculate your ROI in bitcoins.

After the S-1, most miners wouldn't mine more btc than what it orig cost in btc to purchase them after power costs. Now buying hardware, mining and then selling hardware and replace with newer equipment definitely made money.

If you paid in fiat and if you hypothetically did not buy your miner then you could have purchased bitcoin. This is especially true considering how both the price of bitcoin and the difficulty increased last year for all the people who got suckered into buying preorders
