ASICMINER Blade announcment predictions.

[hamiltino]

What are your predictions, of the new pricing and specs of the Block Erupter Blade that's being announced shortly?

[TheSwede75]

Still 10 or perhaps 20 GH/s priced at around 1.5-2 BTC per GH/s

[rammy2k2]

Where did they announced new blade?

[hamiltino]

friedcat mentioned it in the official blade thread.

New hardware starts on page 76.

2 blades, a 10Gh/s and 5Gh/s on July 10th. No price mentioned as far as I can tell.

[hamiltino]

Are they in anyway more efficient?

So was this deemed as not accurate?

buah ... was hoping for higher speeds ...

[Foofighter]

thanks for the info!

[Paladin69]

10GH still @ a price that is 1/4th the cost to develop so he can make more for himself.

[rammy2k2]

Yea, as far as i understood translating from chinese, there will be same 10 GH blade (with some improved stuff) and a 5 GH blade, called "Mini Blade".
Honestly i was hoping for a new blade with higher speed ...

At current prices of ~44 btc per blade, assuming 10.3 Gh/s per blade, starting at 25 million difficulty, an ASICMINER blade won't make ROI for a 33 weeks (assuming 12.5 % difficulty rise per month).

Any bitcoin calculator will tell you that.

If they cut the cost in half, it will still take you 4 months to make your money back, using above "conservative" assumptions for difficulty increase.

Not sure if it will be worth it.

[twitami1]

Four months to make an ROI!! OMG! I am gonna go try something else with a faster ROI like...umm, errr, well....maybe, no that wont do it....umm...

26.290 Gigahash blades with custom water block requiring decarbonated Perrier flowing 2000 litres per minute at a temperature of exactly 14.9C

87.334 BTC each

I heard power consumption will be decreased.  The original blades are 8.3 Watts per Giga Hash, so lets hope that gets cut in half.  

That would put a 10GHash blade at 41 watts and a half blade at 20.5 watts.  A 20watt 5ghash miner with built in controller is absolutely perfect for my purposes.

I hope the price comes down quite a lot too.  But I'm not holding my breath

Power consumption is not going to drop like that. They are using the same chips and unless they can decrease the voltage to dramatically increase efficiency and then use more chips, they won't see a magical efficiency gain. They might gain a few % optimizing the power conversion.

If anyone wants blades today that exist in hand, pm me :p

wtf are u talking abt ?

[Flashman]

Adult stuff, go tidy your room.

[klondike_bar]

Id like to see at least 750Mhash/BTC with immediate availability, 1Ghash/BTC would be better

[sikman]

I still can't believe people paid around 50BTC for one unit with ROI projection towards NEVER BREAKING EVEN, I still think he will rape you all for 25-30BTC and people will still buy them, even at that price there a boat anchor with no resale value after sep/oct
