what was the price in BTC?
BTC was really low. An Aug kit ran roughly 225-250 BTC. They will unlikely break even in BTC.
BTC was around $80 when I placed my order, so it worked out to 240 BTC for me.
I am actually systematically cashing out of BTC, so my motives for buying do not take into consideration ROI optimization.
heh, $76 when I ordered...I will probably lose 20-50% BTC paid. ah...such is mining.
I bought it from BFSB in europe, paying VAT ontop, when BTC was around 62 EUR, paid 310 BTCs.
I'll never breakeven on this.
Mining is dead right now for end users, IMHO, too many ASICs entering the market altogether and priced like there is no competition while their makers set up private pools which "steal" our earnings.
BTW, 100 or 200 THs mine and GHash.io are in direct competition with us end-miners and are already one third of the entire bitcoin network.
