Looks interesting to me, as I have been considering buying a batch of Gridseeds and would rather have something like this.  But not at that price.

An Ethernet ?  Really?

$460?  I'll take messy

I assume the price of the scryptants will go down in price, and then it will completive with gridseed 5 chip miners.

You guys are pretty much right. It doesn't make much sense to buy the blades when you can get USB miners for cheaper. That is part of the reason why we are not selling them at the moment and sticking with the USB miners. The other reason being a 500 minimum order for wholesale Blades from Gridseed is over a million dollars in up front costs. Too risky!

Supposedly there is limited availability of the blades right now, so the price is higher than buying the USB miners of which supply is plentiful.

We have USB miners as low as $155 shipped when buying 25 or more, come check us out! smarthashing.us

The scryptants (my nickname for them) do have the advantage of lower watt usage or no? Also it seems much easier to manage one unit, than 25 smaller units....

It would be 1 unit vs. 15 units

What management? You plug them in and they go.

Even if they didnt they dont require $460 worth of management.

Thats exactly what I mean, you have to plug 15 units with power and to a controller which requires an ethernet, it gets messy!

Like anything new that price won't last long. If you've got some money to burn then get batch 1, otherwise wait a few weeks and they will cost less as production ramps up.

Once you get into ASICs, you are in a never-ending death spiral of buying rigs, mining for a couple months, then desperately trying to sell them to some sucker who doesn't understand that increasing difficulty will make them worthless in a couple more months. It sounds very risky... not saying' it's bad, just stressful.

$1700 for 5.2 mh/s? I'd probably consider that, even though its significantly less than what you could get, but you pay a premiuim for RIGHT NOW. Recursion offers 8.6 mh/s (something like that ) from FIbo for $350 as a great example. Plus that's on a USB MODEL.

You may want to look again.

The recursion is a 3.5Mh unit for $380

So about $100 a Mh which is a decent price if they could deliver

Their biggest flaw is that you pay $380 for the 3.5mh unit if you want the 126mh unit you pay 36X that price (no discount of any kind for larger units)

250Mh from KNC for 10K
250Mh from Fib for  27K

Not hard math.

It has been updated, check the thread on litecointalk.org They said they WILL match knc $/khs ratio. Not hard research.

When are these two companies shipping? I seem to remember KNC was Q2/Q3, what was Fibonacci's tentative date?
