I'm guessing once the miners of dubious value finally ship, he'll once again decide to grace us with his presence to FINALLY give us the details on getting our miserable tiny fraction of the assembly charges refunded... Because you know, right now it's all about the people who got stuck with, er, I mean the people who decided to keep their miners. Once they have their crap, SB can once again consider the issue of our assembly refunds. The Really Big Question: Are there working miners, or not?

The miners work, they are working on USB bootloader so we can flash firmware. Id however like my miners now, even if I gotta screw on fans myself, this is rediculous

I don't want to wait for the bootloader either. I am willing to accept my miners at whatever is available now.

But without a bootloader, one would need a PIC programmer to either install the bootloader once available (to facilitate future firmware updates via USB), or to directly apply the inevitable firmware updates. I'm just sayin... Edit: From looking at SB's last update, which is the only "official" information I have to go on, it seems that the firmware itself isn't finished yet either, or wasn't at that time. If only there were some way for Steamboat to communicate the current status of the board development...

any idea how screwed I am with 128 chips? Looking at mining calculators looks like I'll only make $700 in a year, am I way off or is the calculator flawed? http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/e41625025cI doubt the percentage will remain 100%+ per month, but im new to this, any updated predictions guys?

IMO, Avalon-based miners are currently worth ~$20/GH on the market. So your 128 chips would be worth ~$800 if delivered on boards today. I paid ~$1100 for 128 chips plus ~$1200 for steamboat to assemble them on K16 boards, so even if I received them today, I've lost $1500. For the record, I mostly blame Yifu and company, not steamboat.

30% per jump at least until Feb. I hope it won't happen, but I am expecting it. Hashfast and Cointerra are shipping TH/s units and hit $4/Gh/s by Jan. It's going to be brutal.

Same here. Very glad I've had the strength to limit my pre-ordering.

October's already half over, that assumes you're mining for the whole month.

It won't make you a single dollar. The miners makes bitcoins! Its an important difference.. that some people seems to neglect. If you believe the coins will go up, invest in coins. If you belive you can buy mining hardware for less than cost of coins, buy mining hardware. It seems according you your calculation, if you remove extra fees and the 2% silly mining pool fee, will make a total of 7.44 btc, not including power costs. The value of those coins, are worth as much as they are worth when you sell them and only then. From the looks of the calculation, your last month of mining will be in the month of January, if difficulty by then hits 1361MM you will only make 0.5BTC, which should be similiar to your electricity cost pending on the value btc/usd at that time. Then again, if the difficulty increase slows off which some people dont think it will, you might make more, maybe 10BTC until then or that it happends later that hardware becomes obsolete. Or , that you are able to sell it on ebay for a lot more than buyers are willing to pay for it here while you have already mined with it for a while. On ebay, dont show TGB link, only show this link http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/, which does not calculate difficulty updates..

Mining equip I buy is in BTC and my ROI calculations are in BTC. If I'm not getting a return in BTC then I'm buying coins instead. The calc here is much better http://btcinvest.net/en/bitcoin-mining-profit-calculator.php
