295 coin wall at 950 just got sold on cavirtex

Hey guys, could anyone give advice on buying March delivery batch @9btcs in terms of whether its even considerable or should I move on?

I am using 2 x Asus R9 280X and very happy with them. Get a hash rate of 720 Kh/s each and temp of 72%, not pushing it too hard and doesn't make too much noise. Using a 12 inch riser cable with it.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THOSE NEW TO BITCOIN OR BITCOIN MINING

Bitcoin is going to blow up in 2014, we all know that. So what better way to get involved than start mining it! Right?

Wrong, dead-on-arrival, dead as a doornail, reaper with scythe cackling over your rotting corpse wrong. If you intent to profit, that is.

While technically variance is normal...this is more of the opposite of lottery-winning variance.  This is hit by a truck while witnessing your dog get struck by lightning variance.

3 blocks in the last 10 shifts... what's happening?  I don't think I've ever seen luck this bad on BTCG.  Is there a technical glitch?   

Cex.io charges extremely high fees for "maintenance", and they also probably sell a lot of that hash rate into the order book since they definitely own more than what is on the book.  However, ghash.io also allows miners to point their own hardware at the pool at 0% fee.  They're the same company.  The "throwing money away argument" is based on that part.  They are spending time and money servicing external miners, and are not making a single cent off the time/money spent on those users.

First samples of the CoinCraft A1 demonstrated working

The results are very good: at a very first stage of testing, without any kind of optimizations on the driver and the power supply, we got it hashing stable at the nominal hashing rate at 25.4 – 25.5 GH/s. The chip was running so cool that just a small heat sink above it (see pictures below) without any forced air cooling was enough to let it run!

The evaluation board was drawing 1.655A at 12V while hashing at a constant rate of 25.4 GH/s. If we consider about 15% of losses due to the DC/DC switching block, we get a net power consumption of just 0.67 W/GH/s and this without optimizations of any kind, which are due for the next days of development.

This is the lowest demonstrated nominal power consumption for an ASIC chip in the WORLD!!!

The next step is the assembly of the first prototype hashing units, which will be done in the next few days in our production factory in Europe, for the final tuning of the boards.
