[OPEN] Group Buy ASICMiner Blade (mini or full)

Many folks might not think this is a good comparison since BFL is having problems with fulfillment... but their 7 Gh/s unit is $408 with shipping. The ones I have are running right at 8 Gh/s... so that is a good cost standard to consider. In the coming months devices will have to be at least at that price point to be competitive.

to be fair and compare orange with orange, you need to compare prices of products that if you were buying them today, you would receive it no latter than next week.

Comparing the price tag of a product available now with one that god knows when you will receive between next month and next year if ever isn't fair, IMO.

Sure, you can also add in bitfury blades at 52 dollars/GHS with their smallest starter kit.

I'm thrilled to see new ASIC products but I'm unsure about the merits of the blades over the Eruptors.

a 10GH/s = 32 Eruptors

So basically buying a blade is more expensice than the same hash power bought with Eruptors.

What are the benefits of the blade

Power consumption? stand alone solution?

we don't yet know how much the blades will be...

Just an FYI for comparison:
15 Block Erupters = 7.2BTC, 5.04 GH/s (plus USB hubs)

30 Block Erupters = 14.4BTC, 10.08 GH/s (plus USB hubs)

+ computer
or
+ Rpi and compatible USB hubs

if you are involved with bitcoin I'm pretty sure you already have a computer.  Also unless you believe a pound of apples should cost more per apple then each one separately, the blade should be cheaper but knowing the strange and magical unicorn world of bitcoin and asic it wouldn't surprise me if it will not.
