I agree.. He'll try to get 25-30 (read: too much). Theres still a large number of people on this very forum who will probably pay 35 for one, even though i can just about prove that would be a poor investment. Their numbers are dwindling a bit, but being good at math is, ironically, not a prerequisite for someone who brute forces sha256 hashes.

you forget that some of those folk might of made 10000x ROI already from early mining.. dicking around in a casino with house money is not uncommon

And the rest clamor for a preorder spot with no solid release date.

I expect the same 10GHash boards, perhaps a v2.0 with lower power draw or better overclocking. I would pay up to 20BTC for it to deliver within 2weeks, expecting to break even within about 5-6 months.

please keep in mind that electricity costs vary greatly. I pay about $0.095/KWH in ontario, Quebec residents see as low at $0.05, and ive seen people on BTC-talk complain about breakeven time using $0.25/KWH.

I still can't believe people paid around 50BTC for one unit with ROI projection towards NEVER BREAKING EVEN, I still think he will rape you all for 25-30BTC and people will still buy them, even at that price there a boat anchor with no resale value after sep/oct

Id like to see at least 750Mhash/BTC with immediate availability, 1Ghash/BTC would be better

I heard power consumption will be decreased. The original blades are 8.3 Watts per Giga Hash, so lets hope that gets cut in half.

That would put a 10GHash blade at 41 watts and a half blade at 20.5 watts. A 20watt 5ghash miner with built in controller is absolutely perfect for my purposes.

I hope the price comes down quite a lot too. But I'm not holding my breath

Power consumption is not going to drop like that. They are using the same chips and unless they can decrease the voltage to dramatically increase efficiency and then use more chips, they won't see a magical efficiency gain. They might gain a few % optimizing the power conversion.

At current prices of ~44 btc per blade, assuming 10.3 Gh/s per blade, starting at 25 million difficulty, an ASICMINER blade won't make ROI for a 33 weeks (assuming 12.5 % difficulty rise per month).

Any bitcoin calculator will tell you that.

If they cut the cost in half, it will still take you 4 months to make your money back, using above "conservative" assumptions for difficulty increase.

Not sure if it will be worth it.

Yea, as far as i understood translating from chinese, there will be same 10 GH blade (with some improved stuff) and a 5 GH blade, called "Mini Blade".
Honestly i was hoping for a new blade with higher speed ...

10GH still @ a price that is 1/4th the cost to develop so he can make more for himself.

So was this deemed as not accurate?

New hardware starts on page 76.

2 blades, a 10Gh/s and 5Gh/s on July 10th. No price mentioned as far as I can tell.

buah ... was hoping for higher speeds ...
