Title: So who's gonna part out their Mini-rig? Post by: crazyates on June 04, 2012, 04:13:41 PM Quote Each of the 17 cards run at 1.5 GH/s Just browsing the BFL website. The minirig has 17 modules at 1.5GH/s... So you buy the Mini-rig for 15k...and part out and sell the 17 modules for $1500 a piece! From a seller perspective, this is a great investment, and from a buyer's perspective, you're buying one of the fastest FPGA cards out there. Only problem I can see is finding a suitable bitstream. Idk tho, cuz I'm not well versed in such areas. http://www.butterflylabs.com/production-update/ Anyone else think this is a possibility? Title: Re: So who's gonna part out their Mini-rig?

1. If you part it then you can't send it back to fund the ASIC. 2. For $1800 you can have 3 Singles, which is 2500mhash, so paying $1500 for 1500mhash is not a good investment contrary to your post. 3. The 3 Singles can be returned for full refund credit toward ASIC purchase, I doubt a ripped out module will be accepted. |
