Are these going to be another pumper item/scalped?
Its hard for me to rationalize why these would be usable other than the fact they are 1/5th a L3+. So if you cant manage a L3+ at 800-900 watts for $170-250 with PSU(ebay), you can manage a Apollo for $270 with no PSU and 140MH? at 150-200 watts?
The key to the argument would be how well the Apollo overclocks and electric use there after. If you can get like 180-200MH out of them at like 1MH a Watt power usage then it DOES make sense to me. cause then you could undercut the power usage of a L3+
Whats the Max you can push these is the question?
Im taking control of orders for batch one, and limiting the number that can be ordered per person. No one will have large numbers they can try and resell at a much higher cost. Obviously can't control what people do that buys these but everyone has an equal chance to pick these up at the pre-order price.
If your comparing these with an L3 its the wrong comparison. These are not made for people that can run an L3. If you have under 8 cent power and can run L3s in your home/mine or whatever then obviously go for them.
Now if you have never mined with an ASIC miner before (other than USB miners), or can only put this in your house/apartment/office and have more than 10cent power these make perfect sense in ECO mode, since 100MH at 100 watts is still profitable with higher power costs, and beats an L3 in efficiency by 60%
