I think I'll wait till October when Bitfury chips are more cheaper, I'm glad to see the product is finished and selling now.

Well at current pricing (.12-.15BTC) you can get 2.5GH/s for 0.96-1.2BTC with ASICminer block erupters. Maybe even less depending...
These would need to be around .5BTC for me to be interested in buying one or more. I'm doubtful.

I concur. I will be shocked if these are priced under 1 BTC each, and at that price they will never ROI.
At least these show the potential of BitFury chips and hopefully we'll see readily available, cheaper products in the future that actually have a shot at ROI.
If they come out at BTC0.75 ($37 a GH) I will replace all my Block Erupters with them.

I disagree. A 1 BTC price they will have ROI but it will take 3-4 months.
Would I pay 1 BTC, No but nonetheless ROI is possible but small potatoes.

i'm interested too to this new usb miners...
HERE you can see that bitfur chips will cost about 0.15BTC (20$) for 3000 units, and provides 2.7GH with 1w of consumption...
a normal USB port provides 2.5W, so they can put 2 chips for each to get 5.4gh@2w and a total cost of about 60$... and I guess to overclock up to 6,[email protected]...
that's a dream come true...
I've done a mistake...it's 0.8W/GHS, so te maximum will be 3,1GHS for erupter...already good!

Not neglecting it at all, I think this product is awesome and at the right price it will cause thousands and thousands of Block Erupters to be plucked from their USB ports and tossed aside.
OP says 'limited numbers'.
Until they start selling like crazy

Interested.
Anyone else from the UK? We could maybe share shipping charges.

I'd love to buy them, but with BTC at $124 at BTC2 per that's almost $100 a GH and at BTC1 per its about $50 per GH
These prices are PURE speculation and I do not know what the price is going to be.
My hope is they are cheaper (per GH) than Block Erupters. Because just in the USB hub slots that they save that, for me adds a $5 per slot value to them. Its like a 7.5 to 1 ratio on these to Block Erupters which is really nice!!!
Great product and wish you great success!!

You guys are all neglecting the increased efficiency of the Bitfury chip vs 110nm Avalon/ASICMiner

Like everything Bitcoin, its a matter of timing and price. I think these guys have a great feel for this community and they will be very successful. They have already proven themselves trustworthy and they have GREAT communications!!!
September 11, 2013, 02:46:16 PM
can't wait to see the price but as most people i think they will go the Asicminer way and sell them for 2BTC but let's wait what tomorrow brings.
it would be nice if they sell those usb hubs too. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1074129513/2_0_usb_hub_powered_china.html
anyone who could recommend another well powered usb hub like this?

What usb hubs do you use?

You can buy 300 55nm BitFury chips for 108 BTC in Zefir's GB:

Is that their wholesale cost?
I wish I knew. I'm only going off what's posted as a single chip price at megabigpower.com I can't remember the reel count, but August delivery was something like $198,000 for a reel. IIRC correctly there was a brief period of time where sample chips were $20, but I could very well be mistaken.
I hope they didn't pay $108 per chip. A 2.5 GH chip at $108 will never ROI, and that doesn't even include the other parts and assembly! 
I hope they didn't either, but I wouldn't be surprised. So many people are here blinded by the light that they're grossly over paying for hardware. It never used to be like this, the April bubble has really changed the dynamic of the mining scene.
September 11, 2013, 02:14:28 PM
Yes, these look quite nice. I'd really like to have 2-3 myself, just to play with. I love new hardware!
September 11, 2013, 02:05:58 PM
I would like to buy some of these as well. Please put me down asap if there is any kind of a list 
September 11, 2013, 01:56:39 PM
Protip: Unless the chips were bought awhile ago, the current price is ~108$ per (chip). So you can expect to be paying *at least* that.
