These faster and smaller chips will likely be even more expensive than ASIC's.
not necessarily, see my post above this.

full-custom is the next step up from ASIC.
You're talking budgets of Intel/AMD/NVIDIA to build these.
I imagine the budget for a USB full-custom, using way fewer transistors,
would be hella cheaper.
And on a smaller volume scale- think TI/Linear Technologies/Analog Devices/International Rectifier.

I don't see Bitcoin as the driving force for quantum computing,
but Butterfly Labs gets rendered obsolete.

I don't see what advantage a bot would have. You should worry more about the owners bidding up their own auctions.
by owners... you mean miners, or those initiating transactions?

I assume there's a way to bring power off a 12-25v solar cell pack
[ like the ones JC Whitney sells to charge car batteries ]
or a less-overkill cell
and down-regulate it to 5VDC for a USB hub?

Google "buck converter" (sounds like some shady finance shop. but its a PSU). Though I don't understand the hype about solar powered mining, any significant downtime (like overnight) hits your ROI hard. Maybe its more environmentally friendly (but not with all those batteries you're going to need to run 24x7), but it hits your pocket.
The battery would just be for the USB/ASIC miners.
I was thinking more of tapped off a user's PC, not stand-alone.
Even w/o solar cells, the power savings over BFL/GPU rigs are enormous.

to clarify:
once you send money to the bucket, you can't pull it back out,
even after multiple drops?

the fact that they're USB and lower power consumption that they're worth while
With a lot of folks still on the grid, this is important.
