$400 for an API, a couple apps, and 50-125GH of hashing @ 0.16gh/j ?

redditors think that it would be a developer tool and a way to get bitcoin income from your unique services.

now this is interesting. may buy one to host a couple of my side projects that are laying around

No hashrate, no technical specs...

This is from their page its pretty far down the list though.

"21 Bitcoin Chip has an efficiency of approximately 0.16 Joules per Gigahash and can calculate 50-125 Gigahashes per second."

I really want to justify it to be able to try something from them. But at 400 dollars for a RPI and a board thrown on top I cant do that.

This has to be one huge profit margin item. But i find the joules per gigahash interesting they are beating the S7. If they would make a "real" miner with that chip could be nice.

https://blockchain.info/pools

4% of the network, I am pretty sure they have real miners with that chip just nothing we have seen yet.

By the way it is 128gb sd card (50$)
rpi 2 and wifi adapter (50$)
120gh stick miner (50-100$)
board with unique api and tools (full node out of the box )~200$

it is a lot in one package but it is the very first release and it isn't meant for everyone according to their site "As we have noted above: this is a machine built for developers and early adopters. "

When they push out for the mass population expect a different price and a much nicer package.

Sure they have it internally. But we don't really know if we will see them anytime soon. I am happy they are at releasing something even though i think it is more PR then a product they expect sales on.

If they release "real" miners at a decent price and more efficient then the S7 then I think it will be exciting. I hope they do choose to release more to public as that would help instead of having 1 main company like it is now.

I think the gist of it is that the aim of this product is to get you bitcoin income stream for services in addition to mining.

micropayments services support is maybe something that could be exciting, mining alone-of course not, despite pretty good efficiency of 0.16w/Gh.
College students might like to fiddle with this.

Because the 21 Bitcoin Computer is a full computer, you can make essentially any internet-accessible device bitcoin-rentable.

This basically means that it would be easy to rent out your hashing power if you want to do it without going through third party services.

~~No hashrate, no technical specs...~~

Edit: they are in the FAQ, but it doesn't really change the statement that this is quite expensive for what it is.

If I really wanted something similar, I'd buy a RPi 2 with 1 or 2 of sidehack's usb miners, it'll be cheaper, and I'll support community.
