BFL threads that start with "Well, they shipped my unit and asked me to review it and post pictures, so I said ok...." do not count as shipping.
They are just bribes !
Yes, they've started shipping Jalepenos, which contain 2 chips each, and are still on October 2012 orders...
I mean, I could see ordering an 2014 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow ahead of time, and then waiting for it for a year. But BFL isn't Rolls Royce.
You're not gonna be able to sell a BFL unit 20 years for now for more money than what you paid for it. Hah !

You aren't going to make ROI in 2 months anymore. Those days are LOOOONG gone.
Looks like you're using even more conservative difficulty estimates than me.
My numbers come in at about 3-4 months using a 66 Gh/s avalon.
Not really too surprising. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I have no idea how or why you have all Klondike K16 units all at different ROI...
They're the same unit.
It makes no sense to me.

I'm interested for 8 boards without avalon chips.
Pls post prices when you can.
Thanks.

If they were actually available to ship when announced it might be worth it....
5 Gh/s is about $740ish
10 Gh/s about $1500ish
assuming BTC at $ 75 each.
That's a lot better than what "in hand" hardware is selling for on E-bay. Or, at least, better than what the crazy "buy it now" prices are.
Heh. Crazy stuff...

For some strange reason, CG miner 3.1.1 has started crashing with a USB block erupter. Could not get it to work with either cg miner 3.3.1 or 3.2.0 or 3.2.1 or 3.1.1. Even though 3.1.1 worked fine before. ...I know...weird.. So, I went to bfgminer 3.1.2, uninstalled the UART drivers on page 1, rebooted, installed the drivers again, rebooted, and I'm using this line in my .bat file. bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u youraddresshere -p x -I 9 -S all It recognizes the usb block erupter, no other drivers needed, I don't have to specify a com port, and it's recognizing my dual Nvidia 560GTX cards (yes, i now, don't ask, they were paid for a long time ago...  Hope it helps somebody.  |

Hopefully they won't turn out to be Terrahash part Deux.
Here's hoping.

What is your policy on chip trade-ins?
In other words, if I have my own Avalon chips, can I send them in and you can make K1s from them? I think I bought a few extra just in case some were bad.
Thanks.

You can run the BFL mining software on it, but you have to have some Jalepenos connected to your phone.
Good luck finding BFL hardware.

My GPUs are still working just fine and making a profit.
The sky will fall, eventually. But I doubt it will be today or even this year.
Price fluctuations come and go, just like cheap hookers.
Live long and prosper.

I hope they have similar prices to 1 BTC Block Erupter USBs. I broke even on those with ~145% ROI in about three days. Pretty sure I could do the same thing with the blades... good ole Ebay. And everyone says you'll for sure lose your money if you buy ASICMINER equipment... you just gotta think outside of the box people and it can be profitable.  Your buyers have 45 days to chargeback the purchase with Paypal, and even longer with their credit cards. And if the credit card is reported as stolen, indefinitely. If you haven't been scammed selling on ebay yet, you're lucky. Lol. Been selling on Ebay for years. You just have to know how to do it. You have to plan ahead, and plan on attempting to be charged back by scammer. If you are planning on selling any high value items that you think people will charge you back for, make a new free checking account, get it paypal verified ahead of time, when the money clears, take the money out and and close the account if necessary. Rinse and repeat. |

At current prices of ~44 btc per blade, assuming 10.3 Gh/s per blade, starting at 25 million difficulty, an ASICMINER blade won't make ROI for a 33 weeks (assuming 12.5 % difficulty rise per month).
Any bitcoin calculator will tell you that.
If they cut the cost in half, it will still take you 4 months to make your money back, using above "conservative" assumptions for difficulty increase.
Not sure if it will be worth it.

I really do not see why you guys are complaining about someone upping their hash rate by a factor of 10x.
You got people on the forums buying up hundreds of Avalon chips and other group buys, probably raising their hash rate by a factor of 10 or more. Nobody seems to be complaining about that.
AM is not going to take over the network and kill their business in the process. They aren't stupid.
Hash rate is going to increase by at least a factor of 10. That's just technology progressing. Anybody that is not adding hash rate at the same rate is going to be left in the dust. End of story.
Full disclosure: my personal hash rate went up by a factor of 2 in the past month, and will continue to do so for the immediate future.
Why should I be surprised that a company with far larger resources is doing the same thing? I'm not.

That's very cool. I guess we will find out if the heatsink with the K16 will fit into a hard drive bay. So far, it looks like it will fit into a plastic Cooler master or Thermaltake caddy, according to my measurements. However, I'm not sure that I would take the chance of putting it into a caddy without a dedicated fan. And, I'm pretty sure a front PC case fan will not be able to move enough air to cool 2-3 K16s. I guess we'll have to do some experimenting, but I might be interested in a few adapters. Nice work.

Pretty sure the server took a dump and headed for the hills, just as I was trying to do my order. Hit continue and it did not do anything, then google said server was unavailable...
Guess I can try again later...

Yeah that's the thing. The USB miners are available NOW, and they've gone down in price too. |
