it is also out of stock  Wink

They are just showcasing it on website.  Showing what is to come, and share it with customers.

At that price it is not meant for sell.  And out of stock further confirms that.

I see now the price on the product's page. 6.69 BTC.

What?.. How?..  Shocked Is that for one unit? Is there a cute girl included?..

I don't see anything listed on Ehash

There are a few parts on it.  Main thing is the nano usb's.  - https://ehash.com/shop/

The other things are really just ad's.  But it would be a interesting toy @12 watts.

What year is this?! I had to go back and check that this thread wasn't from 2014. But then again, this wouldn't have made sense a year ago. Strange!

This is a current year item.   They have it listed on their site now.

Would say it's more in the "lotto" mining area.  So special area of mining.

Lol, I understand that. But can't a person buy a used S3 for about the same price and play the solo mining lotto with 20 times the hashrate? This item makes absolutely zero sense (or cents)! Ah but I guess it is more efficient but that hardly justifies the ridiculous price.

I look at this and S3 as two different types.  S3 was to much for me to run lotto mining.

This is much lower watts.  I am not disagreeing on price.  Just cost of running.  My current "lotto" is running one of sidehacks usb sticks.  I do have it off at the moment though, so that is another project to get back up.

I'm guessing webmaster snafu involving one price change (maybe to change the mini to multiple units, but forgot to set) and one copy/paste from the result of that Smiley

What is going on with their site?  They offer the nano2 (undisclosed quantity) for 7.20BTC, and Avalon4 mini for 7.20BTC (undisclosed quantity).

I figured 193 years on 20c power was enough detail, but I can factor those in if you want Smiley
I need to know if my great, great, great, great, great grandkids will see a profit Sad

But yes, please do factor halving into your spreadsheet Cheesy

The price of bitcoin is the issue here. Avalon clearly thought BTC prices were going to the moon when they designed this little Gem here. A slight miscalculation.?.

Your ROI calculation once again doesn't take the halving in 2016 into account.  Nor the halving in 2020.  Nor 2024, 2028, 2032... Wink

I'm pretty sure devices like these are not meant for ROI and people understand that Smiley  I agree with others, though.. I'm not even seeing a novelty factor here that would warrant such a high price.

I don't know if that's factory-fresh or leftover stock from earlier in the year or whenever, but I did forget to consider them when considering other stick miners. Yeah we got the Nano beat pretty soundly.

I wonder if holybitcoin's prices for Nanos will change if he starts selling Compacs too...

Novak was just comparing this product to our Compac stick. With stock USB power, nine sticks (at $225) will run you about 75GH off about 25W and be dead silent. Or if you crank 'em on a decent hub you could do that with four sticks (at $100) and a light fan for about 30W. And the Compac is probably the worst dollars-per-gigahash miner currently being manufactured, because there's a separate VRM and USB interface and LEDs and oscillator and IO LDOs and heatsink per chip and it's still better than the Mini in every category except "has its own case".

I'd buy one of these boxes if it was about $50, mostly to play with. More'n $200 for it is retarded, when you could buy a pair of S3 with PSU for about the same and get twelve times the hashrate and similar efficiency and noise.

With all due respect to you and Novak, I don't think the Compac has the worst $$$/GH ratio. On holybitoin, NEW Aavalon Nano 3 USB sticks are going for about $30. They are less than 5GH, so I think you are safe for the time being.
