Hi, it seems that USB miner proposed in the other thread is not going to happen because high difficulty will punish small devices.
Nevertheless - it might still be interesting to have another small mining device - around 10 Ghash per sec.
The most important thing is to stay competitive and help spreading mining power around the world.
So the question is :
If you are going to buy one, what price would be reasonable at the end of August ?
Please note this is not a preorder, just a survey of interest.

Hi, quick workaround: * using older drivers (12.10 worked on Linux for me) : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx* little patch - file : oclengine.c if (dvn && strstr(dvn, "cl_amd_media_ops"))
quirks |= VG_OCL_AMD_BFI_INT;
dvn = vg_ocl_device_getstr(vocp->voc_ocldid,
CL_DEVICE_NAME);
if (!strcmp(dvn, "Tahiti") || !strcmp(dvn, "Pitcairn"))
quirks &= ~VG_OCL_AMD_BFI_INT;
if (!strcmp(dvn, "ATI RV710")) {
quirks &= ~VG_OCL_OPTIMIZATIONS;
quirks |= VG_OCL_NO_BINARIES;
}

Thanks to all for ideas. I was thinking about something similar to erk's sub 10Gh/s market. Seems like 1BTC(or 99 usd, or max. 50 USD per Gh/s) for 2Ghash/s USB device would be a good price. Hopefully I can provide an update with some good news after a week. Let's see what we can do with time to market  |

guys, seriously - I' am not English native, but I hope it is not that hard to read : this is not a preorder just a survey what would you pay ? disclaimer - I am not BFL and I am doing it just as a hobby project  |

Hi all - to clarify things :
Delivery date : end of August / beginning of September
Price : unknown - what would you pay ?
Power : USB 2.0 - less than 3 W
Speed : 2 Giga hashes per second

hmmm... I see nobody is interested - and yet - hundreds are ordering old avalon technology for 80+ USD - strange world we live in |

I believe everybody here is trying to help. Possibly some individuals are spreading FUD ( see wiki Fear Uncertainity and Doubt ), but I believe their trust level ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=115200 ) speaks for itself Edit : and this must be the reason, why wise forum operators included ignore button ( [ DO NOT POST SESC LINKS ] DO NOT POST SESC LINKS [/url] |

yes, I want to use Bitfurys. Chip should use less than 1W per GH so 5V * 0.5A can 'allow' to have more than 2.5G hash per sec. That is for USB 2.0 (USB 3.0 can be nearly 2x that, and USBx.x not powered properly - e.g. tied to computer's 5V rail .... then .... |

I can send couple, I did that already against paypal. It requires trust on both sides. Do not be scared with my short history here, I follow bitcoin for 3 years already.
PM if you want more info

beautiful I'd love to see some hashing ASICs submerged into this magical stuff |

please try to point your miner to any p2pool node from list here ( try order by Latency first, check 0% fee ) p2pool-nodes.infouse your bitcoin wallet as username, try any random password, then after a while you can check at the node graphs your stats |

Hi community,
I'm a Linux hacker interested in meeting like minded folks and bringing bitcoin technology to everybody.
I'm currently working on a new and cheap hw design for ASIC chips, I had a bit of experimenting with p2pool and gpu minig over last years.
Thank you for your attention, Godspeed !
