The packaging apparently is the best part because the product is crap. Do resellers ever feel guilt peddling this garbage? Would you sell it to a friend or family member in good faith? I hope not.

I don't think I could give these away for free if I wanted to.

40-50 Watts for these guys is worst than 3 of my energy saving lightbulbs, and is supposed to run 24 hours a day.

I still don't know what the purpose of these particular miners are yet. Not enough hash, not enough power efficiency, and at a high pricetag($2.40 per GH). Can't scale large enough to be profitable, can't really run without more than several, and need a host computer on at all times.

Guess, novelty item, maybe.

These are interesting but maybe a little expensive as noted above.
I don't think I saw in the thread, what mining software will run these units?

Cgminer

Our Units arrived today.

Some notes:
Units are shrink wrap sealed, very nice touch.
Each Unit comes with 1 USB cable, and a DC Barrel > Bare wire connector

Overall, very pleased!

$1/GH/2W
or
$2/GH/1W (personally i think $1.50/GH/W would be fair for products like the SP10 and S2)

Also, it's hard to even make hardware at that cost, let alone sell it with a profit.

Scale effect of economics always exists in large miners, but we are not focusing on ROI only.
As we said,R-BOX designed to focus on mining experience, which means affordable total price,suitable size(neither large nor small), more quietly working fan,etc.

So, $2.40 per Gh/s. Doesn't include PSU and host controller or shipping?

Bulk purchasing can take average shipping fee down,
Furthermore,we have lots of resellers over the world,people can buy R-BOX from them who are colse to you,so shipping fee may cut down.

dollar-seconds/gigahash-watts is an awesome unit.

Just curious... what is the currently expected, going rate for $/GH?

Isnt a mBTC = .001, so 10 mBTC = .01 BTC

and .01 * $522 = $5.22 per unit of 32 GH so it would be around .16 USD per GH. Which seems somewhat unbelievable so i am sure i made some incredibly stupid error somewhere in there.

and about 1.3W/GH? Not super power efficient - this can't be 28 nm tech can it?

Of course the website says out of stock so all this is moot. At the price they posted, i would order some for giggles..

32-37GH/S,$89 off the thread title.
