Will these be able to adapt in the future and keep up with changing software?
In the opinion of those who bought some, should I just buy GPUs? Is it worth it? I can get 350-400 khash/s out of a GPU for half the cost.
I love the idea but think maybe I should wait for better revisions and/or competition to hit the market.
I'm trying to lower my power footprint which is why I'm buying these things. But, if your strictly asking about ease of use/price, I'd go with GPU's. In order for me to get these miners to work I have to have them spread amongst three computers and have separate instances of CPUminer open. Talk about a big PITA....
Zoom.... I REALLY need that controller.... I want to buy more but I'm not going to unless I get a controller....
I'm in the same boat - I'd go with GPUs, but I'm out of power without upgrading my service and its going to be really hot in a few months judging by the fact that I have the windows open while its snowing outside.
Having a controller isnt all beer and skittles though - I managed to get one, it boots, I can login, but I cant manage to get it configured via wiibox.net or the cybtc.com instructions. Havent worked on it that much, still making power cords and getting everything wired up.
Everything about these is definitely 1st generation, especially on the software/control side.
