ASICMINER Auction: 10 Block Erupter Blades -ended-

[John (John K.)]

Hmm I took that to mean "used" = past tense, and they are selling them as they upgrade them to new hardware that's coming on line now or shortly.

I guess you are personally confirming that isn't the case.

I would say this is the case considering that the entire farm's built from these blades. I'll confirm with friedcat though just to be 100% sure.

I appreciate everyone who selflessly donates their BTC towards securing the network. Once the hardware is cheaper and widely available I will also pitch in.

+1, Up to 25 and still considering it.... But now......

Considering that the chips ship immediately after the auction ends, the price isn't that outrageous. The ROI is much higher than one ordering a BFL, for example.

Hm, can someone explain to me why these look just like Avalon blades?



And why are you paying 50+ BTC for 10GH at 80W?

Because I will make more in a week than anyone sitting on their invisible Butterfly

Good to know - but I disagree. Had no intention of thread crapping on a sale thread, and would not have written a single word if you did not say this.

No idea for the pic - the official photos are yet to come for AM's blades in this thread.

Well, an on-hand Avalon batch 1 goes for around 3-40k, which is around 470~BTC for 63 Gh/s. By this logic, the fair price for a 10GH/s device like this would be around 80~BTC.

The do not look "just like" Avalon blades. Or maybe to a non-electrical engineer they look "just like" each other For one, Avalon has a lot more power circuitry on the board itself.

They only went for 30K - 40K because BTC was trading @$200+

You mine BTC with them, not $, so my guess is with BTC being down over 60%, the prices of those Avalons will also be down 60%

I guess then the big question is what you think BTC will be worth in month or two.    ;-)

Meh, take a look at recent auctions for batch #1 - you'll see that they still go for the same price.

A month is too short term. Make it a year

That doesn't really matter beyond the electricity cost. You pay BTC, this device mines BTC.

Group buy (if there is enough interest), get a share of the blade for less than 1 BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178709.msg1862693

In about 6 hours the difficulty will be about 9,000,000
At that difficulty, 10GH/s will make about 0.55 BTC a day.
Use that in your calculations for the next 12 days
... then of course multiply 0.55 by approx 0.84 for the 12 days after that ... and continue doing that until BFL release their hardware
That's a reasonably good estimate ... with the totally unknown number in there "until BFL release"
(coz when that happens the difficulty will sky rocket)

[shibaji]

(6.6 + 5.5 + 4.6 + 3.9 + 3.3) + (2.8 + 2.4 + 2.0 + 1.7 + 1,4)
= 23.9 + 10.3
= 34.2

So, based on Kano's prediction, 23.9 btc earned in first 3 months, and another 10.3 earned in next 3 months. Total 34.2 btc over next 6 months. Assuming BFL ships 0 units in next 6 months.

Good luck.
