it's not very powerful but it can be a lot of fun to play around with... if your brother has the patience to find and install the programs.

Jb. That looks interesting...what else do you know about the fpga.   Speed? And difficulty setting up?

Thanks!

hashrate and total cost of those usb?

I've never used that unit, but the software to set it up is included and you'll simply need to find a spartan 6 mining program. It won't be more than a few megahashes no more than 6, but still better than hashing with a cpu.

TekStart Bitcoin Miner - 1.5TH/s expands to 10TH/s

Anyone know how fast this one would mine?

I have to ask...why in God's name would someone actually be willing to spend that much on a miner?  You are shooting yourself in the foot unless you continually throttle yourself to no more than 51% of the current combined hashing capability.  And all it is at this point is a promise.

That's nuts...

Last time I checked, 10TH/s wasn't anywhere close to 51% of the network.  ::)

I actually think its a great novelty item/gift to give to someone to get them interested in BTC

Totally off man, check the Genesis block website

Seriously, dont waste your money theres better things to spend money on.

pretty low power vs hash ratio but the initial cost is high

Cool novelty but idk if I would buy one for actual mining.

I'm wondering, is there any other use of these usb's except mining?

It can use as a shuriken

Ah, then it can be used as a little dildo too.. ;D

Jokes aside... but if you have say 20 - 50 of these.. and channel the heat into a concentrated space... This would make one good coffee cup warmer.

has anybody order from them?

don't waste your btc
