Because you asked for it Wink

Yeah, I think I've dragged that one as far as it will go.

Seriously, though, what would cause the price to drop so much and the willingness to sell rise on positive news only? It's like Apple had announced the iPhone 7 would give users free sex and beer and everyone suddenly dumping their shares...

There's a port at the end facing outwards. I have the same one.

Hah! That's just something you say because you're an ASICMiner fanboi and want to drive share prices higher!!! Prove it! Not that you have one that *looks* like this that you could have gotten anywhere, but that you have *the same one*, meaning the one *in this picture*, which, of course, also means you have to prove that nobody has just replaced it with a mockup with 10 ports just to fake the evidence.

Otherwise, it's all clearly proven it's a scam.

OK, OK, I'll start being serious in 3... 2... 1... NOW!

Speaking of share price, the BTCT PT seems to have a whole lot of sellers at low numbers. Any theories from anyone as to why? The future looks bright and all; why would someone dump large amounts of shares now compared to last week when the price was ฿0.1 higher?

Update
We also tested it on the USB-hub. Seven in a row run over a whole night and are all very stable.

So... Why does the USB Hub say 10 ports and there are only 9 then? Huh? Huh? Some sort of scam, methinks...

OK, I'll start being serious. Great update, love the look, just geeky enough to appeal to those who would be technical enough to understand one.

as far as i see, there is no intention from sellers to lower price ... so i guess everybody who say ill buy 10 when price will get lower should rethink their plans

The plan is to wait until competing products drive the price down. It will happen eventually.

Yeah man, 10 of these USB is 20BTC or $2.4K at current exchange rate. A bargain indeed.

This could make sense as a present, or as a funny toy... I really love the gadget itself. But come on, running ten of them, knowing they will never ROI... Why? What's the purpose?

Have them mine while we find the right price...

I'm tired of hearing about this,
I call for a no reserve auction NOW !!!

I'm just saying that I think it's pointless to have 10 of these guys mining because of their price per MH/s. I think we all agree that these are not intended to be a mining investment, but a cool toy - I think even friedcat agrees on that by how he presented the product in the OP. Thus, I can understand buying some of these as a curiosity, as a gift, etc. etc. etc... But to run them in a "semi-pro" way in a big USB hub is pointless IMHO, who is really going to do that? Frankly: are you?

Yes I hold stock and will also be buying these. why buy GPUs when we can get this? Also I do not have much trust in BFL.

well nobody is buying GPU to mine bitcoin as it is not economical these days. The same thing applies to this - does not matter that it's more efficient, or that there is currently no better competition shipping, you will still not see a return; and if ultimately you are losing money- where is the sense?

When this was announced, there was a huge amount of interest, everyone and their dog wanted one.. at this price, much smaller percentage are willing to be milked

They look great! And what a cool way to introduce friends to bitcoin by letting them participate in mining. That's what hooked me in the first place.

I'll buy a bunch of these if/when the price comes down to 400-500 mbtc.

wait - so, if they'll run without the heatsinks, why did you make/order heatsinks that we now have to pay for?

The heatsink costs $0.1 or so and mitigates the temperature from the hashing IC. The IC works fine on high temperature but it may hurt the fingers if accidentally touched at its back.

...well. alright then. i'll just... be over here. quietly. *feels dumb*

This is a picture showing the relative size to the laptop. One with heatsink and one without.
