So your name is Svaolba ?  Grin The whole profile looks cooked up - I would not be surprised if you turn out to be moneypacktrader = dayasinfo = instaBoost = ChicaDee

Now is your cooling off period to collect post count, and then one hot strike - eh ?

If you had 2 grand to spend, would you buy one? Would it be worth it?

If it actually existed, it would be a great buy right now. But there is no such product actually available.

so this does not exist? https://products.butterflylabs.com/50-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html

No, it does not exist. They are simply selling pre-orders.

At present nobody has one.  Lots of people ordered them (including myself).  We're all waiting.

Application Specific Integrated Circuit


These devices are made to hash, and only hash.  No playing Crysis 3 on them.

Very efficient for hashing compared to a GPU. Right now whoever has one is making tons of BTC or SHA256 based coins.  In a few when everybody has them CPU/GPU mining will be just memories.

What does the ASIC mean?

And it says it's only 4" x 4" x 4". How is this possible? that's smaller than a graphics card
