I think it's this one from poland:

As far as I can read from the text (it's polish) it costs 178 €.

Yes. Looks like one of These.

But what is it ??? Just an overclocked Red/Blue Fury or an "new" developed product ??
How does he get 5.2 GH/s ??

It's not based on Red/Blue fury, but an independently designed product. It's faster because it uses 2 ASICs.

That's very interesting. I am from Poland and didn't read about it. Went through whole topic in polish forum right now and guys look legit.
Thanks for that topic :)

Yes. Very interesting Project.

But € 178 is to much! Plus the UPS cost ?! I'm from Europe. But still ... we probably talk about another € 20 - € 30.
And maybe some € for custom fee.

Yep they need to adjust the price to the current difficulty and Bitcoin exchange.

It will be interesting to see how it performs with the power limitations of USB. Worth a keeping an eye out for any similar implementations at a more reaslistic price if it proves successful. I'd consider a more realistic price to be in the region of €100 (looking at techno's costs for singles).

I think it is the Bi-Fury from Poland. They have listed this for sale on this forum if you do a search. I think it is cheaper than eBay.

When overclocked, it uses more than 500 mA, so it can't be powered from a standard USB 2.0 connector. You need USB 3.0, or special hub with external power.

It can be underclocked, though, and I've seen mine do about 4GH/sec on a 500 mA budget.
