Hallo zusammen!
Ich stelle dies hier mal ein, da es ja vor allem uns in Europa betrifft!
Avalon hat seinen Development Staus veröffentlicht.
Somit sind die Spez. dann 66Gh/s, $1'299, ~400Watt! Lieferung bis spätestens 14.Januar 2013Keffe hat eine hypotetische Berechnung über das ROI gemacht. Demzufolge währe der AVALON Miner in Europa, wo die Stromkosten zwischen €0.14-€0.35 liegen, ja eigentlich nicht mehr wirtschaftlich zu betreiben oder jemals zu Amortisieren!
Was ist Eure Meinung?Hat jemand von Euch AVALON bestellt?
Hier das orginal Script:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120184.msg1294416#msg1294416Intro. Avalon launched with a challenge to our competitors: a over 50% dollar per GHash gain. Our competitors since then has also increased their specifications in order to stay competitive. Deviated from their original plan the competition managed to even the playing field, yet we simply proceeded with our original design goals and have reached 64Gh/s, and now 66Gh/s! Once again taking the lead in $/Ghash. While the competition promised early delivery dates but kept pushing them back. Avalon instead gave an very conservative estimate but now is scheduled to ship even earlier at Jan. 14th 2013.

Avalon since inception has been designed to be an
stand-alone unit, embed Linux openWRT equipped with WIFI capabilities and an Ethernet Port, while the competition is designed to operated over USB, depended on the need of a host computer. Continuing our trend, we have narrowed down our power estimates from 600W to
400W and this number is
guaranteed to
decrease further. Did I mention our power supply is a
standard ATX?
The
true genius of Avalon lies within its
modular design. need a better PSU? No problem! Install your own. In fact, it is within our schedule to release the controller ( openWRT ) image.iso before the end of the year to give eager developers a head start to spin
your own custom mining setups. Embrace open source!
Trade-Ins. Avalon believes in continuing the trust that have build up with our old customers. Reinstating our policy of $300 per Icarus, $400 per Lancelot, limited one FPGA trade-in per ASIC unit. The trade-in program will continue to be available and will apply to 1st-gen Avalons when the time comes.
Stress Testing. Avalon will not be testing these ASICs on the Bitcoin network period, whether it being the main-net, test-net, or
even test-net-in-a-box. Why is that you may ask?
We will be testing these ASICs to do what exactly they are designed for, that is computing double-SHA256 hashes. this algorithm is not bitcoin exclusive at all. It is just so happens to be the block hashing algorithm, thus it would be silly to even set up a mining pool or use the bitcoin network in and form or way. We will be testing using our own custom software written to stress test our chips.
Retail Pricing.$1,299? Yep, to stay with the spirit of the competition.
$1,299 for 66Gh/s.
question, comments and grievances welcome.
Und das von Keefe:
Alright, one more scenario, more extreme:
Let's assume $12/BTC, $0.25/kwh power cost, and 1000 TH network hashrate after reward halving.
Hypothetical device that does 60 GH, costs $1300, and uses 60W:
$100K buys about 4600 GH of hardware which will use about 4.6kW of power and earn about $5980 per month, minus about $830 for power, for 5.15% monthly ROI.
Hypothetical device that does 54 GH, costs $1070, and uses 405W:
$100K buys about 5100 GH of hardware which will use about 38kW of power and earn about $6630 per month, minus about $6885 for power, for -0.26% monthly ROI. Uh oh.
Hypothetical device that does 54 GH, costs $1070, and uses 120W:
$100K buys about 5100 GH of hardware which will use about 11kW of power and earn about $6630 per month, minus about $2040 for power, for 4.59% monthly ROI.
But someone with $100K to invest, ought to find a better place to setup than where power costs $0.25/kwh.
And if ~5% monthly ROI were attractive to professional miners, why has mining been historically much more profitable than that, except when the exchange rate fell toward $2? I think 10-20% monthly ROI will continue for the next year or so at least. Though a price war among mining devices could really screw ROI up.
