Very real  ;D

there are also group buys if you look around in the forum.

real

I vote real.. I've ordered a couple so I hope so  :)

There are not really worth there money thought

This surprises me! I thought all ASIC gadgets were scams.   

Yes it is real but bit expensive for the low hashing speed  ;)

Yes I agree a bit expensive. My Radeon 7790 goes at about 292 Mh/s and it only cost me $140 USD which at today's BTC prices is only slightly more than half the price of one of those. Your only gain with the USB is the lower power consumption which would still take a while to make up the difference.

in fact it is, cost 2 btc lol

How difficult are these to setup? Any resources around. I have one on the way!

very interested. I will read reviews of the product from users first before ordering though

real, i am away to buy 300 :)

Real:

I don't think these are worth it at all. Such a low hash power for so much money.

I wouldnt mind spending my 2BTC that i've won via gambling, but not via money->btc alone  :-\

It's quite useful for regions where electricity is quite expensive. I pay 0.34 USD/kWh, that makes the usb gadget interesting.

keep going to gambling @ http://www.coinbomb.com/ it's a nice spot ;)

Not only real, they've shipped already, at least 300 are already in customers' hands. My first ten arrive wednesday or thursday.   ;D ;D

And how much M/h are you getting?

Right now they are goign for over $1000 on ebay just for 300 MH/s. Not worth it at all, even if you pay high prices for elrctricity. It will take you 3 years to pay the thing off at current mining rates, which pretty much means you will never make your money back unless BTC prices go sky high.

At this point I believe they are only selling them in large batches, so the individual user will have to wait for retail re sellers to get their hands on one.  Also as many have pointed out high price for low hash rate is a bad economic combo.

worth it if you buy in quantity and mine while you sell off the hardware on eBay.

expensive...

great idea! considering!

Unfortunately is a very expensive price! I think this and other projects are abusrdamente inflate the value of the equipment. :o

They are having a 150% profit to the phase which has the production cost! I think that's stupid!  >:(

really

The prices on ebay are absurd!
Even if it were possible to buy just one or two, for about $ 50.


The teams that build equipment for mining, abuse in prices. It is time for the community to show that bitcoin prices that have been charged are absurd and has to download!

For a currency that should be decentralized and for all this to get a lobby that hinders the entry of new users ...

the price is high :(

GPUs are a better deal, they have uses outside of bitcoin mining and resale value.

Device looks great, but I can't believe some people are paying $800+ for it on ebay.

I want one!!

Whoever is mass selling those on ebay for a markup of 2-5 times the batch price is one smart cookie

I would expect buyer's remorse from those that are paying $400+ for them, until I see some stats from someone mining with them and can run it through a profitability calculator I view these as a novelty item.

Very cool, hard to argue that it would actually be worth the money unless run for a very long time..

Anyone know about a European buy group?

When those were announced, I was totally psyched. But then I was expecting a price of about 50-75$, maybe even €. That would have something I would have paid for a novelty item. But the current price? A little to much for an item you basically only buy for shit and giggles.

Prices are sky high... But at the end these devices will hold complete network. Just watch the chart now and around end of the year and you`ll see then what I am talking now.
