7870s and 7850s. they will give you about 300-330 KH/s and cost about $100-$150 if you wait for the deal.  I think I got mine for about $100.  Love those cards, not overheating, they run like a charm. There is a question of how many you can put into 1 box to achieve good hash-rate vs 7970/7950s, But I still like them, since 7970s seem to be generating so much heat its a hassle to deal with them. 

Anyway, good luck with those asics. I can still add a lot of equipment in my house, so power consumption is not an issue for me.  Not that I think its worth investing into GPUs right now.  If you really want to invest into cryptos, why not just buy them out right, but I guess thats a different topic all together.

As I said, I get the power and convenience part, but do not forget GPUs and computer equipment will always have some value, you can get 50%-70% back anytime.  Especially me, I never buy top of the line GPUs for $600, instead I get $100-$200 GPUs that give me 50% of top of the line, so your math is not really correct for. But that's not the point.  The point is I am buying a piece of hardware that is only good for 1 thing, mining. So if difficulty increases, those miners would just become useless, so if we look at risk/reward of getting PC hardware vs these miners, well it just doesn't cut it fore me. I'd rather have 20% additional cost of power with the flexibility to turn off my miners if I need to, knowing I can get 50-70% back for my equipment within next 1-2 years, then investing into something that can have 0 value if things change.  All I am saying specialized miners should be able to better compensate for the fact that they are completely useless outside of mining.  And current fact that I need to be able to run them for 7 month to get my money back kills this deal for me.

Hi, I did the calculation and it seems that I would need about 7 month to get my money back based on the current difficulty and thats assuming the difficulty stays the same and the prices stay the same.  Am I correct ? I understand that these are more efficient as far as power goes, but GPUs could be used for something else at the end of the day and these units can only mine. 

Don;t get me wrong I think it is a great development that there are script asics, I am just questioning economics.

Does anyone have a link to a working block explorer, could you post it, Thank you!

Yeah, i transferred some coin from that pool to coins-e and it never made it. I hope it will make it to cryptsy once its re-listed.

Anyone knows if lbw.ltcoin.net is synced ?

We need LBW re-listed on cryptsy so that we can understand who is on the correct chain and who is not.

9-10K lost for me.

Hello, Welcome, to you and me I suppose. It is a great community and a great forum. I get to talk to interesting people and find out about new and exciting coins.
