Hello @CanaryInTheMine

I am quite tempted to buy 10 Erupters from you, however I am in UK.. Do you ship outside of the US?

Thanks

give "yxt" a try please. He is the re-seller for UK

yxt his asking BTC0.45 per Erupter, which from what I can see is a little too overpriced..

'The right to privacy matters'

just got my 20 sticks today. I am now mining with 129 sticks. 40gh plus hash. I will run out of room soon I figure I can go up to 140 sticks max. Nice to see hashing rate growing in my farm> Hey if you want a laugh look what happened to my bfl order yesterday.

I could be wrong here but I think he is just going to link this - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-asicminer-hardware-information-270573

Canary,

Any word on the new blades which you mentioned may support usb?

from what I've heard, they should have a USB port on them too.
not over-clockable, a little bit smaller. hashing wise, not any "better" (same chips, just repackaged differently I guess)

not released yet.

Thanks for the update. I'm going to wait for the USB port option so I can run it off my Pi. Hope it doesn't take too long.

No need to wait for that... Put a hub/switch and control the current blade from your pi with bfgminer
New blades won't be superior to current blades in terms of what they do.
But I do think USB interface will make it easier for less technically inclined/savvy

That's good to know. I just spent my coin on a couple dozen usb erupters so it will have to wait until next week.

Are they more efficient to run?

I gather since Canary said they are the "same chips" that there is little that can be done to reduce power consumption. As far as I know the only way to reduce power consumption (in any meaningful way) would be to make newer chips will a smaller nm (nanometer) semiconductor process technology.

The current ASICMiner chips are 130nm which is 2000-2001 technology in terms of CPU architecture. There is a long way to go to catch up with Intel's current 22nm CPUs... But this explains why ASICMiner was one of the first to ship any meaningful amount of Bitcoin ASICs - because they used an older/cheaper semiconductor process.. the downside is these are by no means the most efficient ASICs possible. The upside is that as ASICMiner and others do come out with smaller nm ASICs, they will indeed tout improved efficiency.

For now I guess we use what we got. The efficiency is still light years ahead of where GPUs are =)

dApps Development Automation Platform

One of 2 things are going to need to happen in the near future for BE sales to continue.

A) Another Price Cut ( No one will want to pay > $50 for a Block Erupter )
B) 25% Drop in the value of a Bitcoin

I would prefer B. Im sure most resellers of hardware also would.
