I'm also selling my miners on eBay, but would prefer to sell here to avoid paypal. V2 blade, backplane and power supply for .46btc. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121263473797I also have an anker hub, fan and 9 erupters for .17btc that I haven't listed yet. If I could sell it all to one person, I'll sell it all for .6btc. UPS 3 day Select shipping included. |

Blades are out, cubes and chili miners are on the way out, but still a good investment for a newbie.

Wondering what the general consensus is here, are cubes and blades considered obsolete due to their power consumption?
Over got around 225ghs, running mainly cubes and blades, but I liked these products because they allowed me the freedom to "grow into" this hobby. Seems like the newer stuff you buy the whole rig and it's a bigger investment up front, as it should be. I liked how ASICminer always seemed to position their stuff as a "system"- blades tied into the backplane, and cubes have locking notches and rather good price point compared to similar offerings from BfL. I get the impression they are less desirable now though, is this mainly because of power consumption? Crazy how fast this hardware race moves... I'm still a bit surprised to see people coming into mining and dropping over $1k on a miner before learning the ropes...
A lot of what you are trying to say has merit namely, a scalable bitcoin rig has many advantages. Eventually however, there needs to be a revolutionary change rather than an evolutionary one. Currently I have my radar on for a 1TH/s miners that I can get in quantity. |

Currently I have my radar on for a 1TH/s miners that I can get in quantity. you nailed it, hole in one... all the stuff coming out now is not the "game changing next step", the next major immediate Cube-killing difficulty jump (breakpoint) isn't gonna happen until the evolutionary stuff hits the street. Lots of people have been talking about the new rig coming out next week, and next week has been delayed for two months now lol. I'll probably just let my stuff mine away until those 1TH miners start to show up. |

Yeah, obsolete - very old power-consuming ASICMINER tech

Most of the rigs hitting the street are already mining. (You think the manufacturers don't "test" them before they ship? ROFL.) There won't be any dramatic difficulty reset from any new miners shipping at this point. The jump from the first ASICs where we saw superexponential growth for a while was the only big jump that will ever happen, absent a massive move upward in price.
To answer the original question blades and cubes are not "obsolete" in the sense of no longer worth using. They make a lot more than their electricity cost, so at the right price they still have useful value. That will continue for a while (during which time they will continue to depreciate to scrap value, but nowhere near that now).
If you want the latest and greatest, they are far from that.

This is my last one, which is why I'm selling it with backplane and psu. |
