Hi all, thanks for offers and suggestions.
Sorry for delay, you know - bad luck comes in threes Sad
Raspberry PI is unfortunately not able to run bitcoin client
 - well it runs somehow, but it is not usable.
First miner testing prototype should be available during the week.

When you have a product in hand and ready to ship, you can charge a lot and people will still buy it.

And there are names for people that buy ASICs that never make an ROI.

Yeah, Hobbyists. Grin

considering that they would be in hand in Sept i would max pay BTC18 per Gh

did you really mean Gigahash? You can buy erupters today at 1.8BTC per GH(roughly) Huh

more like 0.9something BTC/GHs

Even that's is way to high. eg. a BFL 5GH/s Jalapeno is $274 or roughly 2.6BTC that's about .5BTC per GH/s and their price is rather high by modern standards. Both KNCminer and Bitfury are way cheaper.



The going rate for GH in hand today is $78 per

That's what you can buy a 13gh Block Erupter Blade for today and have in hand in less than a week.

Nothing else is CHEAPER because they don't exist.  When KNC delivers the price for a GH from the guy who delivers is March will be "cheaper" that don't mean crap.

Hi, seems like it is going to be quite difficult to secure needed chips.
But the good news is the hashrate should be higher than 10 G.
Toying with rPI now, slowly progressing.

What chips are you using?

One of the keys to the ASICMINER USB Miner's success has been availability.  If it's going to take 2 months to produce this it will be a completely different market by then.  Plus to mimic the success of the current USB's you'll need a lot of capital.
Just saying timing is big, big deal.

I have to agree, the .25BTC per Gh/s would be a great place to be...so about 2.5 BTC per unit

Hi, thanks for ideas, I think that the price should be in BTC as well.
Waiting for some components still, hopefully test results will be available next week,
and hopefully the price will be below 50 USD per Ghash/s.
Net speed is around 3.6e14 hash/sec now.
1 BTC is around 106USD which translates to price below 0.47BTC per Ghash/s

Whatever the price I think it should be in BTC. The larger devices carry more risk so it's important to have a payment that's protected and refundable. The smaller devices need to support the Bitcoin economy and should assist it in boosting it's liquidity and therefore assist in increasing the overall BTC price because there will ate a greater frequency of small purchases. Cool

You want to be less than $40 per GH/s  KCMiner is going for around $20 per GH/s but of course that's a much higher GH/s unit, I expect to pay a premium for lower GH/s devices that are actually shipping.

If the difficulty:price ratio doesn't change for the worse dramatically and if you can deliver within EU by the end of August I'd pay $260 for a 10 GH/s ASIC with shipping included (EU). I'd probably order at least a few.

Hi, it seems that USB miner proposed in the other thread is not going to happen because high difficulty will punish small devices.

Nevertheless - it might still be interesting to have another small mining device - around 10 Ghash per sec.

The most important thing is to stay competitive and help spreading mining power around the world.

So the question is :

If you are going to buy one, what price would be reasonable at the end of August ?

Please note this is not a preorder, just a survey of interest.
