Wonder how many prismas have been sold. Should be shipping.
I think people are getting antsy for tracking numbers in the HW threadWell anytime you pre-order you should be antsy...not like 99% of them have not been disasters. AM clearly stated the shipping date range so people should relax a little bit.

So, friedcat...uh...are you in Hong Kong right now?

Perhaps you get 1000 (or 1100?) watt power supplies for free, but I don't. It is my understanding that the Prisma does not come with a power supply. The dragon came with PS installed.
I have been mining for years, starting with graphics cards, to butterfly rigs, to AM BE, cube, and all manner of USB miners.
$550 delivered for a complete 1 TH solution running today will do just fine. I have no doubt I can shake a few coins out of it.
PS: There isn't a mining calculator out there worth a crap. That's the first thing you learn as a miner.

As much as I want to support AM, I needed to upgrade and needed an all-in-one self contained solution. I got a used Dragon 1 TH unit delivered in 3 days for $550. I did not need a power supply, ethernet controller, customs delivery issues, nor did I need to screw with the firmware to get it to mine on my pool of preference. It was up and hashing at 1028 GH in less than 4 minutes, with just a hair over 1000 watts at the wall.
When did you start mining?
$550/TH is about $100 more expensive than the AM Prisma.
At $0.1/kwh the AM Prisma would save ~$100 worth of electricity in 6 months.
So unless you can mine $200 in profit before the Prisma's begins shipping, then the Prisma is a better deal.

Now granted, I could not get 100 of them at this price if I was running a large operation, and the Prisma is somewhat more efficient, but you really only realize those efficiencies if you run them in bulk.
Where did you get the idea that efficiency only matters in large scale operations? If anything it's the exact opposite.
The cheaper the electricity, the less of an effect efficiency has. If you have free electricity then efficiency means nothing (as long as cooling is not a problem).

I guess AM has it's sights on datacenters only.
How so? A 1100W machine seems perfectly fine for home use as well as datacenter use.
Quote
Hopefully AM has lots of room to reduce the prices as more larger units come out of datacenters and into the secondary market.
Not sure what you mean.
Do you think there are some massive farms that will be dumping miners on the market for some reason? The only reason for this I can think of would be to replace their current gen hardware with AM Prismas.
I don't think AM has anything to worry about with current gen hardware as it's clear that no other company can come close to the $/gh that AM is offering. And as soon as there is a competing chip, AM's gen4 will probably be ready or due soon.

Wonder how many prismas have been sold. Should be shipping.
at least there's work done:
In an unexpected but most welcome move, the driver for these was submitted to cgminer. I've reviewed their driver and suggested some changes which they've already resubmitted so the driver is now part of mainline cgminer and will be in the next release due out today.
impatient fools.
ps: thx for sum cheap cheap shares. whoever.
pps: feels like waren f****g buffet.

That was a rhetorical question. The answer is $5000.
0.1 Btc share - 1 Btc @ 10$

something like $50,000 (btc was aroung $10 in august 2012 when this thread started but with a large range in price)

On a lighter note, it only costs $175,000 to become a board member.
What did it cost to become one originally?

Wow, we're below IPO now! Gone through to 0.09... Holy cow! Friedcat, where are you? 
He's busy selling his shares on Havelock
October 13, 2014, 03:06:17 PM
Oh my!!!
I take back what I said before
Looks like the latest import has just gone through.

Still a pretty dire moment.
I believe it was implied that the reason for the selloff was exactly that the last imports just came through and the respective shares have been dumped immediately.
