I dunno. I think you'd maybe break even by March which is when we should start seeing the trickle of 3TH miners from KnC, 2TH miners from BA, etc.., which will raise difficulty to the roof. Does it make more sense just to buy BTC instead?

Why are the prize at MBP so overprized?
They aren't really overpriced. Very close to my target range right now. The difference with these are they are ready to ship right now vs the other companies that if you order from now you will not receive for at least 2 or 3 months.
The chips are also more efficient than antminer and avalon G2.
I doubt it. Antminers are running at 1.1V. If run at 0.9V Antminers would be almost as efficient as Bitfury. Check out Bitburner fury which run the chips close to 1.0V and the power consumption sky rockets to almost 2W/ GH/s
The Antminers are not even in the same ZIP code as the Bitfury chips in regards to power draw.
Here are my personal measurements on a 6 card Bitfury doing about 175GH/s sitting right next to a 180GH/s non-overclocked Antminer S1:
Antminer - 360W power draw (measured by Killawatt at the wall)
Bitfury - 185W power draw (measured by Killawatt at the wall)
If the pricing is the same, and you are deploying these en-mass, the Bitfurys save you a lot of $$$ in power.
Also Bitfury can be kept cool without loud fans. Antminer is loud
I've got some droning away in the background. January 12, 2014, 10:34:57 AM
0.47BTC H-Card, time to buy

can we make orders for EU?
I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Dave is supposed to be a distributor for only North America.

Ordered at 4:30am EST got FedEx shipment notification at 2:57pm same day. Package is scheduled to arrive on Monday which is pretty amazing if you ask me. Then again that's what I expect for FedEx International Priority. 
+1

Just a reminder, that Spotswood makes some awesome cases for these rigs. Have already ordered two of his cases in the past for existing rigs, and just placed an order for another one for the additional rig I ordered.

Indeed I can vouch for him as well. Excellent aluminum cases. I wish though he'd take bitcoin payments. It would be more convenient than paypal.

I did order some 1/2 + 1 Hboard 7 hrs ago and no tracking # for FedEx yet.
January 11, 2014, 08:10:55 AM
I dunno about v1.2 hcards shipping from stock as I just ordered several hours ago and being the weekend I don't think they process orders or ship.
January 11, 2014, 06:45:55 AM
Wow, I almost can't believe they lowered prices. I took this opportunity to fill up my rigs. Thanks Dave and company. As far as the prices, they are generally ok, but still a tad bit tough given the diff trend. Either way I think after this it's time to put a pause on btc hardware purchase until the other asic mining companies are done shipping their gear.
Just wanted to ask if the v1 H (Old Style V1.2 H-card (compatible with original M-board only)) cards are shipping from stock or is there a lead time.
Thanks
ordered a few v1 H-card about one hour ago, already got a tracking number!!! Thanks Dave
We heard you and we answered - $16/GH

I also ordered v1.2 cards Fri evening and got a FedEx tracking number about an hour later. No scan yet, but I'll probably see that tonight.

The voltage is only part of the equation i think. The bitfury chips only use around 1-1.2W/GH at 2.2GH a chip while the bitmain chips use around 2-2.5w/GH at 3GH per chip
EDIT: ordered 6 cards at the new price. While I think it could/should be a little lower, I had $2100 in store credit so 5 of the cards were 'free' (due to the september shipping delays)
just need to buy 1 more antminer and I will cross the 1TH mark for my mine
There's a firesale tomorrow. Good luck
