yeah but probably not worth it given the cost, and the hashing power from regular vid card being higher as posted on last page of that thread

heh not a scam like all the rest? 300MH/s isnt that great compared to avalon units in the 65+GH/s range though...

i guess if they were cheap enough filling all free usb ports on pc would make it worthwhile
low level of power

Have any that use a reasonably low level of power actually been made and shipped to someone who's using it to mine, or is it all a huge scam?
