“While I have now recouped my investment in mining hardware, you may not be so lucky. Even among ASIC-based mining hardware there is a ranking, a hierarchy based on purchase cost and energy efficiency. Tis folly to think that you’ll be able to run 130 nm ASICminer ASICs in California indefinitely. At some point, you will be outgunned by people running yet-to-be-sold 28 nm ASICs in some rural county of Washington state, where a kWh costs a mere 2.33 cents. Bitcoin mining is not for the faint of heart, nor for the mathematically challenged. Invest only what you can afford to lose. Or better yet, enjoy this crazy sideshow from the bleachers.”
