At $15/GH you are cutting it close now. Depends on your electrical cost.

So where are these for sale at reasonable prices now?
I have a few for sale but they run under the standard speed. I have sold all my others and these are the leftovers from my batch of 110. At the default 50 bits they range between 1.5 Gh/s to 1.75 Gh/s. Overclocked at 54 bits they all run over 2.0 Gh/s and the faster ones run about 2.5 Gh/s. I have about 8 of them and they run between $55-$70 depending on the speed. Delivery is additional. PM me if interested. $55-$70 is a bit steep, especially if they are under standard speed. I was hoping $25 to $30, expected $40 or so. Is there nowhere I can get $10/gigahash? That's the only price that makes any modicum of sense right now. No. The lowest available price I have seen is $95. But most are well over $100. That's craziness. No way to ROI @ over $30 right now. I don't see it being even remotely possible. well, you have to also keep in mind that those were made with a bitfury chip which alone cost $25. And even though everyone's bottom cost will be different - in my group buy my estimates for a 500-1000-devices series were for about another $25-30 in all other pieces including PCB, components, assembly, stencils, shipping, taxes, etc. I get it; assembly of these had a certain cost. But at this point in time, it doesn't make sense for me to buy them even at cost. I agree, but you need to realize these are not made to make money. They are entry level miners that introduce people to mining at the lowest cost available. Their usefulness is more for education or the hobbyist who just wants be a part of the network. If you want to make money mining you need to spend a lot more money than $100. Like $10,000 at least to make the effort worth it. But if you want to dabble a little, learn about the space, have some fun and mine some millibits in the process, for less than $500 in equipment?.....this is for you. Sure, makes sense.

I just got an email from SB with the refund information. I'm verifying the total now.
The total must be some portion of the assembly fee if the conversion rate published (~118 IIRC). At that conversion, I calculate a $36.11 return for assembly + testing per unit. Is that what everyone else is seeing?

I didn't notice a difference between the two as far as hashing, but I did notice that cgminer was less stable for me over long periods than bfgminer.

The WPC Mining Pool- We will have a functional mining pool up and running before the new year or possibly within the first week of January.
- Full testing of the mining pool will start after Christmas.
- Tentatively 20 Th/s to 300 Th/s range for this pool is estimated by the end of January 2014.
Will this mining pool be open to all? Do you have a fee structure in place? How will rewards be calculated? Any other info?

dang, i'm glad i requested my miners to be shipped as is once the option was available. If I was still waiting on refunds of any kind at this point I would be livid.
Yea, I've had $270 assembly/shipping costs tied up in this since June. Kind of a bitch.

Is (dudes real name) steamboat ? i received an email from USPS today with a tracking number from <snip> You could have answered your own question by entering that query into Google rather than using his real name here. Yea, if steamboat's real name is tied to his bitcointalk username on Google, then what's the point of keeping it secret here?
|
|

Forgot to add, I'll cover shipping too; this is for charity, so no need for proceeds to be spent on that.
|
|
|
That's it right? Time's up? PM me payment info and I'll promptly reply.

John.K what's going on?
Ohh, the irony. You've been very outspoken against ragin, yet I don't remember you being in the group buy. Ragin posted John's email a few pages back. Before the last round of refunds I was able to get a hold of him via that address. He should be done with school by now, hopefully he gets back here soon and wraps things up. My kids don't get out until the end of next week...

The variance was unexpected, and caused me to move to eligius. Plus, 0% fee. :\ Gotta follow the money.

I'm going to have to switch to another pool until this gets sorted out. In the last 4 blocks 2 of my rewards have been 1/100th or 1/10th of my expected returns . I'm loyal to slush but I gotta make that money.
