Thanks guys! Finally a price worth buying at! Now if the BTC exchange rate would just go a tad higher...
We really appreciate it. I know price has been a big issue here. However, the 'until further notice' is if the BTC price starts skyrocketing. Fair enough. I was just looking for the exchange rate to go up a few more percent to meet my BTC/card target, and it did, so I bought 5 cards. If it's even better in the morning, I'll buy another half-rig. I kept going back and forth trying to decide if I wanted to buy another full rig. I came to the conclusion that I will wait and hope BTC hits ~950-1000 before I purchase. Someone needs to pump BTC price up quick Yep, at $965/BTC, half/full rigs fit my formula. I hope that doesn't count as "skyrocketing."

They aren't really overpriced. Very close to my target range right now. The difference with these are they are ready to ship right now vs the other companies that if you order from now you will not receive for at least 2 or 3 months.

The chips are also more efficient than antminer and avalon G2. I doubt it. Antminers are running at 1.1V. If run at 0.9V Antminers would be almost as efficient as Bitfury. Check out Bitburner fury which run the chips close to 1.0V and the power consumption sky rockets to almost 2W/ GH/s

Check out Bitburner fury which run the chips close to 1.0V and the power consumption sky rockets to almost 2W/ GH/s The voltage is only part of the equation i think. The bitfury chips only use around 1-1.2W/GH at 2.2GH a chip while the bitmain chips use around 2-2.5w/GH at 3GH per chip EDIT: ordered 6 cards at the new price. While I think it could/should be a little lower, I had $2100 in store credit so 5 of the cards were 'free' (due to the september shipping delays) just need to buy 1 more antminer and I will cross the 1TH mark for my mine

Apologies if this is a common question, I didn't see it on first page and this thread has >200 pages on it. Is the rPi image you provide required? I run an rPi with MinePeon already for by existing hardware. I wonder if I bought a small 100GH rig if I can just plug it into the existing USB hub my rPi is using currently along with MinePeon.

Thanks guys! I just ordered one 1/2 and one 1/4 rig (I needed an extra M board) and 3 V.1 boards. That should put me over 2THs. The sad thing is I still won't be at par after the next difficulty change.

So if I buy one, snag a RPi and SD card too.

Wow, I almost can't believe they lowered prices. I took this opportunity to fill up my rigs. Thanks Dave and company. As far as the prices, they are generally ok, but still a tad bit tough given the diff trend. Either way I think after this it's time to put a pause on btc hardware purchase until the other asic mining companies are done shipping their gear.

Just wanted to ask if the v1 H (Old Style V1.2 H-card (compatible with original M-board only)) cards are shipping from stock or is there a lead time. Thanks
