So yours Jupiter is not "uber cool asic" and you will actually achieve positive ROI on it? 

 keep doing your accounting in btc.  50 btc in may 2013 was  as low as 80 a coin or 4000 usd.   so if I took 4000 usd in may purchased 50btc and then purchased your 10th device holding on to every coin mined.  I would  now have 26 btc worth 210 each  that is 5460 usd minus 4000 usd and you get 1460 usd. power cost would have been about 260 usd and your taxable profit  is 1200 usd.

usa tax law would say that item made a profit.  now I agree if you have paid 4000 usd for coins in may held them until now they are worth about 10500 usd so your profit would have been 6500 usd.

so both moves made money one move made less profit but still profit.   We live in a world that most countries charge taxes base on the fiat of that country not BTC but BTC convert to the local fiat.  

  These 2 btc 38gh cubes at todays rates are around 420 usd .  I use usd since I pay taxes in usd.   If I buy a cube and mine vs buy coins and hold I am subject to very different tax issues.  So your use of btc to explain profit is very naive or since I know you are a very good programer slick bs to con people that don't understand the tax laws of their country very well.   My point is AM gear has turned profit as defined by USA tax law.  It has not done as well as hold BTC has in the same time period.  So to say AM is a loser is wrong as many of us made good money on USB sticks and blades.

  I for one am looking forward to a 2 btc 38gh cube.  but it needs to plug n play with bit minter's java client.   They will use 120 watts vs 300 watts that the usb sticks use to mine  the same gh. 

Indeed, because there are still "after hype" guys, which really wants their uber cool asic and don't care about positive ROI, market situation or expected diff. raise.)

I would really like to see some pictures of the Cube

And people still buy. It looks like they dont care about. So if the market wants it we should offer it.

As of today, ~36GH on BTCGuild is producing .05~BTC/day.  I know diff change is coming soon, but even still, disappointed about the leaked price/news as it is another case where AM hardware is going to help build the network but do zip for the miners buying it.  Hope it pans out at a better price.

38gh for 2btc? What's something like that produce per day at current diff? (0.02 btc)....so 100 days roi with no dif increase...it will never make more than it costs.

Useless at this price....incredible...we are seeing every new device that comes out with a negative profitability.

I think that mining and selling mining devices to the public is going to face plant in the next few months.

Thank you.

Nah, someone will just jump the gun with a sales thread for group buy, reselling, whatever they call it these days.  This is business, shovel selling!

Yxt as Eu Reseller Already confirmed it

http://www.wtcr.ca/catalog/product/bm-ambec-01

I'm aware WTCR sells ASICMiner hardware in Canada, but I haven't heard about the product linked above anywhere else.

Has anyone else heard of or seen this?

Hopefully Canary or SSB will confirm/deny.

wish they would announce some next generation stuff....       since the only usb's left are whats in resellers hands already...  they must be ready to start selling something new

Of course, all bitching and moaning is undeserved.

And that is totally undeserved, right?

No, this is the place to come and bitch about ASICMiner primarily...

I think so, but there was also this about the new blades: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/block-erupter-blade-new-modellow-price-limited-quantity-286486
and this here about the new usb colors  : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/block-erupter-usblow-price-limited-quantity-285825

Is this still the place to check for the latest hardware specs from ASICMINER?

BTC Mining is being controlled by serval companies with huge calculating capacity, so as for a solo miner, he has less chance to get any profit from mining.

Buy BTCs and keep them for one year or two years, maybe it is the best way for us to make some money from this crazy gambling.

Oh, there is a precondition. After one year or two years, the BTC world will survive all the troubles.
