How are the units performing?

I'm interested in the blizzard, seems a nicely made unit and reasonably priced.

Also much cheaper to run than gpu's with similar performance.

Same one I'm thinking about. Half the price roughly, half the setup concerns. Once I get this rent house sold I may be able to talk the wifey into something more like the Gridseed 80. Doubtful, but she's onboard with crypto, just doesn't care for the frying of motherboards & psu's part. Grin

And the asic race continues.. im wondering how many of you will actualy reach roi without some serious tweaks.
As you can see, difficulty keeps going up, sometimes it seams you are racing one against the other.
hopefully the price will follow difficulty in some way, so far its sideways :/

Certainly it's a race. We can't expect to have 100% approval not to use ASIC's for financial gain. So then we either join the arms race or accept our lot and pickup the scraps. I've only really learned of cryptocurrency about 4 months ago but I'm all in. For a while there I was trying to figure out what all the hoopla was about with the anti-ASIC crowd (not lumping you in there, you just made me think about it). If it's a more efficient way to mine & distribute the coins then it just makes sense to go that route. I get that there might be a feeling of unfairness to some but such is life. I can't afford to jump on the ship at the moment but I do think if I had held off on setting up a GPU mining rig for another month or 2 I could've gone the ASIC route and saved money, headaches, & electricity. In the end, cryptocurrency needs to thrive and expand. If we make profit, great. What we need most is utility for the coins as grendel25 mentioned.

Sorry for a slightly off-topic diatribe. Congrats on the new miner!

Thanks!

Its running rock stable for more than a week now.
Already close to getting my import tax back.

Ow I have a small review on the New R-Box Rockminer to :-)

More and more dumping on scrypt coins will happen soon.
Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #i7Eim2bz74cl3GMu

That may be true but it won't matter. Scrypt will still be viable simply because of the utility of a free, automated, and pretty much bulletproof financial ledger system that is further propagated by vast numbers of mega-hashing ASIC nerdsters.

First there was gold (sha-256), then silver (scrypt), then all the other colors of digital currency. As long as utility exists there will be a viable market.

Thanks for the review dutchy there was a lot of bedwetters on the ltc forum.. My orders are shipping now too #93x

Most people don't understand that these distributors bought well before any of them and need to just stop refreshing the pages for updates its getting really annoying reading the idiots posts over there and those people are the reasons why factories chose to cut them out and just focus on distributors they are the reasons companies fold they are too needy and forget this is cutting edge tech so wanting answers and specs on stuff not even built yet then they get that and then cry when it changes where as most of us that ordered big understood the risks well and are mostly comfortable with the process in which the product is delivered.

Thanks again and cant wait to see an update from you after at least a few days hashing

What i'm really looking forward to is if these are overclockable one day.

Btw i wouldn't worry about a pi mate as long as you can connect them to a desktop you should be right. I mean, miner programs these days can, as you know run 90+ miners at a time so running a pi might restrict that but thats my opinion only

Cool, that's like 4x 5-chip Gridseed's for the price of 2.

I like the Hash Master 30 MH/s L Blade for about $5k, seems like a good deal and it only consumes 260 watts.

This blade consume 40W i had order blaze 1.3Mh on 28April i h0pe i get my order soon.

before they mention each blade consume 15W but it actually consume 40W
