Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon 8 official specs released

If the price is right these units will sell out pretty darn fast. I'm hoping it'll be competitively priced against the S9 which is in pretty crazy price territory right now. No complaints about specs otherwise, hoping it'll have the usual Avalon quality.
Competitive against the old S9 price or the new?  |

Does anyone know if these A8 can comingle on the same controller as A741 or do they need their own?
The only difference between these miners appears to be the number of chips on each hash board. (With exception of the A8 integrated power supply) I don't believe the A8 model has an integrated power supply. The last Chinese-only version of the A7 apparently did, but I don't see the same verbiage in the description of the A8. Feel free to correct me. You are correct. I think it was a copy paste issue from when they put up the 761, and bare bones description of the A8 information. So don't go selling those power supplies yet Let's guess on price. If the 741 is $1,050 and the 761 is $1,400 - I'm thinking the 821 is going to be $1,800 + Fan ($129) + Controller ($100 - if you don't already have one) $2000+ for 11 TH/s - worth it? I'm going to quote myself once I saw what Bitmain is doing with the S9 pricing. There is obviously some collusion going on. I wouldn't be surprised if they price these at $2500 - $3000 |

Anyone know the unit count of this batch? I know people are buying, yet its been open for too long. I think their emptying their last stock. Who has a count?
It's been up for a very long time. I've been watching it for about 2 weeks. It usually sells out within 1 to 2 days. Maybe they are clearing them out and making room for the rumored S10 for a March release? |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Mining vs Buying

buying eth is more convenient and faster than mining
however
if you got 1k usd to invest i'd advice buying soon cuz eth is on a drop for now
"because people are dumping it to buy btc to benefit from the hard fork .. do your research on that"
anyway ETH will rise in about a month to reach a good point
*do some searches before investing hard earned money into crypto currencies and know all the risks involved**
I've read about the forking and thought best to stay away until the dust clears but also see the hype about it being "free" money. |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Ethereum Mining vs Buying

I have a complete newbie question. I have $1000 to start and I'm looking at these 2 options to purchase Ethereum.
1. Just buy Ethereum at the open market. Price around $300
2. Buying a cloud mining contract from Genesis Mining
- 2 Years Ether Mining
- Price: $869
- $30 MH/s
Help me with the math. What is the best option.
