Thought I would give everyone here a heads up on some discounted asic miner shares if your quick. Have to point out I have no affiliation with the guy running the group but have signed up for 20 shares myself. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235191.msg2491906#msg2491906 Please use your own due diligence and dont risk more than you can afford to loose. shares are on KNCminer 350ghash/s Jupiter miners due to launch September. got just shy of 152 ghash/s worth of shares now through various group buys Planning on sinking all those generated bitcoins into gold from a well know bitcoin bullion dealer :0
So that's about 5.4GH/s per share? (after 8% fee) 1 BTC per share? With current difficulty and price you'd be making back your investment 8 days. Though, with currently difficulty spiking through the roof this is obviously going to be much less come September. 20-25% increase every 2 weeks has been normal thus far.
Difficulty is going crazy but I think buying shares in the cheapest way for a smaller investor to reasonable ghashes/s for the money. As I got in early I got - 1/60th of a 350 ghash/s per share for - first 15 shares 0.75 bitcoin last 5 shares 0.5 bitcoin so 20 shares for 13.25 bitcoin (116.67 ghash/s)
Figure the network will be doing about 2000TH by the end of the year... ASICMiner, BFL, Avalon all have 300-400TH on tap, and then there are the new guys like KNC, etc. ASICMiner is the only one that actually meets projections historically, so we'll how fast the other guys actually ship/deploy.
