It's still a poor investment unless you resell them on Ebay....or run a group buy and profit from the residuals.

Price of 0.99 each - Good news, thank you, fried. It seems that my table of ASIC Competitors should be updated as following:  The only rest wish is to reduce MOV (Minimum Order Volume) from 50 USB sticks to 25 ones. It'll allow your products to find a faster way to your customers. Good news friedcat. Can't wait for new blade pricing! Way to help the little guy get started in mining while benefiting AsicMiner shareholders! Table listed above shows some miners that are not readily available like AM hardware  |

I recall someone posted his numbers and they were close to mine, not 100 Watt. |

Wow, prices cut in half. I wonder how long it will be until they are slashed again. I also wonder what the margin price for a single Block Erupter USB is. 10-15 USD?

It is too optimistic to expect block erupter blade yield 13Gh/s - It's overclocked with a voltmod. my blade consumes 150 Watt. I recall someone posted his numbers and they were close to mine, not 100 Watt - Look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204030.0citation: Hashrate: baseline 10 GHash/s, rated 10.752 GHash/s, maximum 12.829 GHash/s with overclocking and proper cooling
Power Consumption: 70 - 75 W on 1.03 - 1.05 V, 83 W on 1.1 V, 100 W on 1.2 V, 120 W on 1.2 V and overclocking |
Time is money mining.

This isn't fair for Canadians. I want to order 1000 USBS. However, I want to take advantage of my previous 50BTC order so that I can get 50BTC off, but WTCR in Canada won't be able to honor this. It now seems that Friedcat is screening out Canadian emails as he hasn't replied to me for quite awhile now, as he probably wants me to deal directly with WTCR. Bullshit.

This- I'm excited to see ASICMINER actually become affordable. A year ROI isn't bad, granted there is a lot of power to come onto the network in the coming months, but it seems these will at least make ROI in a year to 2 years. However, buying 100 USB miners is a bit redundant.. I'd rather buy a similar priced blades and only have 4 things to mess around with rather than 100 USB sticks. |

Creepy... as a Asicminer shareholder i wouldnt like to risk 3 shares in value of 9.51BTC for one USB-Miner value 0.99BTC.
I guess it was meant as a bonus for shareholders but the risk involved would keep me away from buying. I mean normal buyers dont risk anything.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

You don't 'risk' 3 shares if you buy a stick, you just are not allowed to sell/transfer them because you have some unpaid sticks shipped to you. The advantage is that you can pay a few weeks later (and have some time to collect the money from the people you resell them to, for example) Only problem you can get with it is if you don't pay after 2 weeks.. but hey, that's called scamming.. The shares are at friedcat' anyway, so if you don't trust him with 3 shares/stick you shouldn't have shares anyway  (not personal, meant that in general) |

I'm interested in picking up a batch of 50 of these to play around with some solar mining ideas I've had. I think I could run TEN of these, a raspberry pi, and an independent mesh radio node with a single cheap 230watt panel 24/7. That gets you 3.3GHash/sec with zero power draw for life. So small you can almost package them under the panel like the enphase modular inverters do. Fully modular, self-contained mining hardware with power generation and networking built in. Or to look at it another way, solar panels that pay you bitcoins and don't need wires. Or AC connect permits or any of that nonsense.
Total system would be;
10 Block Eruptor USB
1 Rasp Pi
1 Powered 10port hub
1 OM2P-LC Mesh AP
1 230 watt solar panel
1 20a MPPT controller
1 100ah Pba battery
1 12v to 5v 10a DC-DC converter
Total consumption should be well under 35 watts total for 3.3GHash.

Power consumption isn't much of an issue anymore. ASICS are much more energy efficient. |

So efficient you can power them with a sub-rooftop sized solar array. One panel is about a million times easier to deal with than the system a GPU farm would have required. You can make the electricity required to run your hardware a sunk cost just like the ASIC. Pure profit from that day on out. |

Power consumption isn't much of an issue anymore. ASICS are much more energy efficient. Power consumption and cost of power are definitely an issue when you are looking at a product that will take years to mine the amount of coins you spent on it initially. |
