if i bought the $600 machine....and ran it nonstop... 15mbs connection......about how many bitcoins per month could you expect?

Your internet connection is not going to have a huge impact on mining. Your ambient temperature will, as it can prevent throttling.

Mine does 756 mh/s @ 52 C,only because of my room being 80 F........... :(

They were designed for room temps of 72 F or cooler,which is pretty stupid considering most folks buying these were/are going to be running them in a basement/garage/bedroom.....not in datacenters ::)

So,figure anywhere from 750-896 mh/s at best  8)

Can plug that mh/s into the calc at  http://www.allchains.info/calc.html

Don't expect more than 10btc in a month, and each month that gets worse. Assuming you have zero outages. When the reward drops in December expect half of what your getting at that time, and when the new tech comes out expect 10X less than December. If your gonna order now don't bother, or get a GPU.

Not necessarily stupid, as most people will comparison shop this device at the top performance level, not the expected level for their given environment.

If their sales are higher because of this, then they have made the correct decision.

Is this a trick question?

Whats to compare too......nobody can match BFL in mh/s,only power consumption.And nobody else states what the enviroment temp is supposed to be for optimum performance to make that call,at least they hadn't when all of them first came out.......

As far I'm concerned the ROI of ANYONE else's FPGA is way to low (14-20 months,BFL Single was around 8 months).........IMHO  ::)

Answer: I could expect 0 Bitcoins per month

12 shares per minute with 896 MH/s bitstream  cgminer reports 850 MH/s, u: 12-12.2
or 518,400 shares per month which works out to about 10 coins.

It all depends on luck, and the pool's fees, and their payment method.  With average luck, I think I could get ~15 coins in the first month*, and then less and less each month after that as the difficulty increases.

* not including expenses of electricity and cooling
