Its speculative, we all know the price cant stay the same for 6 hours let alone 6 months
atleast it puts me over 1Gh with my lame GPU miner and better off than the BFL wait forever crew

Just curious, how are you guys planning on breaking even on these? At 840 MH/s it would be 3.2 months to break even, if BTC went back up to around $200 and there was no difficulty increase and excluding power (which admittedly isn't much). Is there a different currency to mine or something? Not trolling, just curious - whatever you're doing is obviously working for you guys, so keep it up.
I would love to get a few of these, but I can't take the risk of 3+ month break even with how volatile everything is at the moment.

Oh - they are doing it for the sake of the network. Honest. My reasoning is just that it sounds fun - it's my first experience in mining. I don't expect to get rich doing it, obviously, but it's just a fun new hobby. |

lol... a 6 month break even time at current prices and difficulty, with Batch 2/3 Avalon's to be deployed in the next couple months... no thanks.  (sorry Tom)  This.. but if you have the cash to throw at tommy, which in turn could help refund some bASIC people.. more power to you.. |

cgminer + raspberry pi reportedly works well. rpi uses less power than a laptop.

nice to know - I will check it that out!!!! I was mining with my main PC that has two GTX 460's... not really a great miner but got it to be consistent at ~145 Mh with GUIminer onto deepbit just to learn The modminer will run a lot cooler and i get my GPUs back |

How are your MMQ's working so far? I've been thinking buying one myself but wanted to see some people actually getting theirs and running acceptably.

Still working on getting mine running. Two of the four are being replaced and Tom has offered to ssh into my machine to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with bfgminer. |
