You'd have to be a fucking retard to believe this scammer. The "Z02"... is an LKETC 60MH/s A2 scrypt miner. I have one sitting in my garage.
There will never be an ASIC for ETH. POW period ends too quickly to bother.

The efficiency is just double that of the AMD nano. But it will be useless in a few months. Nano can still have some value.
I don't get it:
1) They produced 5k of these chips and selling them for $15. Even with the cheapest (40nm?) technology, can you make these chips for $5 - $10?
2) The other problem is with residual value. Their unit would depreciate pretty quickly. GPU's at least have some value. Just look at how long the triple slot 7970's have hung in there.
3) What happens if these particular coin devs decide to change the hash algo? The worst thing that the GPU crowd has to do is change some software.
4) If absolutely nothing changes, it's a 3 month ROI slog.
The risk reward especially with the possibility of 3) makes absolutely no sense.

funny thing is that the mod for those nano of that guy that is runnign a farm of those gpu, can still match this somehow
Haha, i was just checking that out.
Hash Rate: 200MH/s ± 10%
Power Comsumption: 450W
I have 135Mh for that same Power Consumption.
$1699.00 for one of those (not that they exist, but heck, let's just go with the flow)
6 nano's cost me around 2300 Eur give or take.
So basically, it's a little better :p (not taken the time it would take you right now to ROI...)
So even IF they exist, still a very bad investment at this time

Please tell me this is some kind of joke
We, Lightminer is proud to introduce our first ASIC miner for Ethereum and Dagger altcoins.
Currently we are offering two unit, Z01 and Z02 to the market.
www.lightminers.com
The main problem of mining right now its the exponential difficulty increment over time and slow ROI. We are currently offering limited units to be sold. Shipping are expected on 9th May, we will keep all orders updated.
The Z01 and Z02 are our initial units, we did not have enough time to design a much higher end product as we planned. The next generation, Z03 prototyping is expected to finish on next month and we can begin rollout on late June/early July. The units consume power lesser than typical GPU mining operation, consume only 10~20%. Not to mention that unwanted generated heat are a lot lesser.
