@buzzdave, I've read through this entire thread hoping to find information about warranty but couldn't find it. Please elaborate on this.
I wanted to touch on this - its a topic that is very important, but unfortunately we have not finalized our ideas yet. We absolutely intend to back our product for manufacturing quality and function. I expect to offer a 30 day full-replacement warranty at a minimum. Issues yet to iron out are: -are we guaranteeing hashrate - this can vary due to so many factors outside of the hardware itself. -how will we detect tampering, especially attempts to OC -should we warranty for longer, standard seems to be 90-days All devices will be tested prior to shipment. More details. I don't know yet how long it makes sense to burn them in. The engineers will give me an idea if its a matter of just seeing them fire up, or is it better to run them for 24 hours. Before you ask, sorry no I can't coordinate testing them against your specific pool creds...at least not yet. Interested in the warranty info as well. My understanding is that EU law mandates a 2-year warranty? |

Covering for overhead is completely acceptable and expected. However I believe BFL was taking the opportunity to gouge.

You won't gain anything if it ships november to be honest, i wish they had lowered prices to be competitive.

If they ship in Nov, and stay at the current price of $325, then people MIGHT ROI of 10%. Tops.

Just playing with the numbers assuming USB is used with a laptop, and a conservative $85/btc rate.  Doesn't look good.. won't even break even till next year? |

$100 per device seems like a good price... and still profitable as the bulk chips are $20 each in October.

Easy, go here: http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/Change Difficulty Increase/Month to 55% (the base 35% is not realistic and even 55% when most ASICs are hitting is VERY optimistic). It gets pretty nasty pretty quick. This is not a device that will ever pay for itself. BUT, if you are buying it for the novelty factor . . . or for eBay flipping, then carry on.  |

How do you figure 70Watts of power usage from a port that only supplies 4.5Watts??? |

I assumed it needed to run with a laptop plugged in. |

I wish the chip prices were lower so we could be competitive |
