ASICMINER Blade announcment predictions.

I agree.. He'll try to get 25-30 (read: too much). Theres still a large number of people on this very forum who will probably pay 35  for one, even though i can just about prove that would be a poor investment.  Their numbers are dwindling a bit, but being good at math is, ironically, not a prerequisite for someone who brute forces sha256 hashes.

I expect the same 10GHash boards, perhaps a v2.0 with lower power draw or better overclocking.  I would pay up to 20BTC for it to deliver within 2weeks, expecting to break even within about 5-6 months.

please keep in mind that electricity costs vary greatly. I pay about $0.095/KWH in ontario, Quebec residents see as low at $0.05, and ive seen people on BTC-talk complain about breakeven time using $0.25/KWH.

And the rest clamor for a preorder spot with no solid release date.

you forget that some of those folk might of made 10000x ROI already from early mining..   dicking around in a casino with house money is not uncommon

Really, I don't think you can blame friedcat much for the pricing, he did the "price discovery" auctions and they went where they went. (Thanks morons ) Though it was certainly great for AM shareholders to get basically 2 years expected return up front. Even if he's selling as "cheap" as needed for a 6 month ROI, he's able to replace the hardware, or remake it in half that time, so still great news for the shareholders.

Yah I was calculating at ~10c for Ontario here, then realised it averages closer to 8, because we get 4.5 days worth of the lowest rate per week, with 7-7 and the weekends.

maybe new blades will have better heat dissipation and even casing... let's wait few more days :-)

[yxxyun]

the new blade is 5g 10g 20g. don't know price now

and the 10g blade can't over clock

I'm going to take a wild guess at 10BTC, 20BTC and 40BTC, but I'm willing to be surprised...

[mvidetto]

I'll take a gander at overpriced and waste of money...

[CoinHoarder]

I hope they have similar prices to 1 BTC Block Erupter USBs. I broke even on those with ~145% ROI in about three days. Pretty sure I could do the same thing with the blades... good ole Ebay.

And everyone says you'll for sure lose your money if you buy ASICMINER equipment... you just gotta think outside of the box people and it can be profitable.

I was thinking the exact same: 2BTC/GHs

[rammy2k2]

there wont be any 20 GH ones, as far as i readed the chinese presentation there will be 5 GH and 10 GH ...

[HTML5 Gordon]

Will be interesting to see how they price these.  I have a feeling they will be fairly expensive - like ~15BTC for the 5Gh and close to 30BTC for the 10Gh.  I guess we'll know fairly soon.  Here's hoping they surprise me.

Your buyers have 45 days to chargeback the purchase with Paypal, and even longer with their credit cards.  And if the credit card is reported as stolen, indefinitely.  If you haven't been scammed selling on ebay yet, you're lucky.

Well if you're gonna do it like that, most profitable ASIC so far..... KNC, infinite % profit on selling unpaid pre-orders

Lol. Been selling on Ebay for years. You just have to know how to do it. You have to plan ahead, and plan on attempting to be charged back by scammer.

If you are planning on selling any high value items that you think people will charge you back for, make a new free checking account, get it paypal verified ahead of time, when the money clears, take the money out and and close the account if necessary.

Rinse and repeat.

Will paypal try to extract from your other accounts since it seems now they would attach everything to your ebay account right?

Do you make multiple paypal accounts?

please stop the ebay offtopic

I'm thinking another USB  type miner from AsicMiner.
