I would love to see vids too Wink.  I'm still wondering whether it's possible to buy these devices in amounts less than 10.  Please reply Wink.

UPDATE


Manufacture came through, we have inbound product. Manufacture said by weekend, and got it out today.   Looking forward to posting vids, pics, and mining scrypt with 8 watts. Grin




INTERESTED, please could you do videos/pics of:
1. Mining only Scrypt coins to see the full SCRYPT capacity.
2. Mining only SHA-256 coins to see the full SHA-256 capacity.
3. Mining both (SCRYPT & SHA-256) to see how balanced they are.

If you're just running 1, can it be run via a USB connection to a Windows PC? Or does it still need that little controller board I've seen in some photos? And how do you supply more power if you want to use the dual mining mode?

Can you split these up? I wouldn't mind  buying a few, but 2.7 bitcoin is a little steep for me.

yes, you can just run one or multiples.

their power consumption is little better than four R9 280x gpus, but no resale value when the mining boom ended.

I've been wondering about this.... I mean, I assume we are all in this for the long run because we believe that cryptocoins have a future. If we are wrong and the coins go to zero... then yes, ASIC's and such will drop in value to 0.

But let me ask you... given that we know there are probably hundreds of thousands of GPU's out there dedicated to just mining. If the value goes to zero and mining has no value... what will happen to those cards?

People will dump them and they will flood the market... and granted the market for GPU's is much bigger but still relatively small. Your R9 290x will be going for 1/5th of what it is worth because EVERYONE will be dumping them.


1/5th is better than no 1/5th. Personally I think they would be worth more than that.

lil 3MH ASIC costs $2700, you can buy 4 R9 280x for $1600 and get same 3MH @ 800W.

There are more gpus in the market than those dedicated mining gpus and a gpu always has a value with or without a mining boom. mining will not end suddenly, either coin values will gradually decrease or difficulty will gradually increase throwing 3MH rigs out of mining. there won't be a considerable difference in 2nd hand market.

this asic is not good for btc either. 50GH btc miner costs only $900 @ butterfly labs

We already saw this happen to 7970s once ASICs took over Bitcoin mining.  The lowest I saw for used 7970s was about $250, so for a $450 card, it wasn't that bad, definitely not 1/5th.

I don't understand why anyone would be interested in 10 GH/s BTC mining and only 300KH/s LTC mining.  Even with the "big" 20x order you might as well get a Antminer and GPU's for less money and more reliability.

Now if they have a properly designed and cooled PCB with 20+ Scypt ASICs for a reasonable price, we're in business..


These are not developed to have the big players as customer base.
It´s for newbie miners etc.

Yeah - only a matter of time until there's a dual-mining AntMiner-type device so you don't have 20 little fans bouncing around a table with cables everywhere. Once again, if you pay a fortune for power, or have serious cooling issues in your mine, this is a viable option that is nearly the same $/MH/GH as other options - noting monumental though. I'd still like a little rig of them to play with though.

I'm mainly interested in it for the scrypt... not the sha. It is NOT easy to cool 3MH/s of Litecoin mining... not in your house. These are more power efficient then even GPU's so if you are strapped for space, power and cooling then they are a good option.

Ditto, I will probably never use the SHA core's. The scrypt asic fascinates me though. And who can say no to "5 dollars" worth of asics to give you hours of entertainment!
