Why are the prize at MBP so overprized?
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 The Antminers are not even in the same ZIP code as the Bitfury chips in regards to power draw. Here are my personal measurements on a 6 card Bitfury doing about 175GH/s sitting right next to a 180GH/s non-overclocked Antminer S1: Antminer - 360W power draw (measured by Killawatt at the wall) Bitfury - 185W power draw (measured by Killawatt at the wall) If the pricing is the same, and you are deploying these en-mass, the Bitfurys save you a lot of $$$ in power. Also Bitfury can be kept cool without loud fans. Antminer is loud  I've got some droning away in the background. |

I dunno. I think you'd maybe break even by March which is when we should start seeing the trickle of 3TH miners from KnC, 2TH miners from BA, etc.., which will raise difficulty to the roof. Does it make more sense just to buy BTC instead?

Antminer is loud I've got some droning away in the background. the stock antminer fans can be quite loud. 2 of mine are actually quite reasonable with the stock fan + extra PWM fan (~70cfm, <22db) but one of the antminers has a stock fan that roars at 12V and even when run on a 7V adapter is still the noisiest fan in the entire setup |

can we make orders for EU?
I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Dave is supposed to be a distributor for only North America. We are now shipping worldwide - working out the specifics. Per Dave: "we will always keep the included shipping for our kits" |

been waiting on bitfury prices to get reasonable for a month now.... finally got tired of waiting and spent $2500 on equip from someone else... id be willing to buy a 25ghs starter kit if they would list one...
Will you people please stop buying bitfury overpriced miners? Maybe that will stop the bitfury private ASIC farm from growing more and more. I bet for every miner sold they are adding 4-8 or maybe more miners to their own private farm. |

0.47BTC H-Card, time to buy  This...the price drop is appreciated. Cheaper (by about a third) than AntMiner, and more power-efficient. |

I dunno about v1.2 hcards shipping from stock as I just ordered several hours ago and being the weekend I don't think they process orders or ship.
We do have them in stock - please remember it is the weekend and we don't have someone shipping 24/7  We now have a dedicated shipping person out there, you will see more visibility in the coming weeks for everyone's future orders too. You'll have an update by monday or whenever payment clears. Thanks! |

0.47BTC H-Card, time to buy This...the price drop is appreciated. Cheaper (by about a third) than AntMiner, and more power-efficient. Please explain how you arrive at this conclusion. Bitfury 200GH set is $3200 = 3.9 BTC at current coinbase $822/btc Antminer 180GH is 3 BTCBoth shipping now. How is bitfury 1/3 cheaper than antminer? Bitfury is more power efficient - that is understood, but i dont understand why you think bitfury is 1/3 cheaper. |

Bitfury is more power efficient - that is understood, but i dont understand why you think bitfury is 1/3 cheaper. New price is actually 2.65 When I first read this, I thought you were saying that the price of a 200 GH Bitfury rig was 2.65 BTC and I was ready to order a couple. Upon further review, you were talking about the Antminer, and they are currently out of stock. I really want to order a 400 GH Bitfury rig, but just can't make the numbers work. At over 8 BTC for 400 GH, I keep coming up with a ROI time of infinity... Do BitFury rigs overclock well? Is it reasonable to expect 500 GH? Are they reliable? I read a good number of horror stories on this thread from folks who had a lot of trouble getting all 16 boards to work correctly due to board wobble and poor connections. Does the SD card still get corrupted when the machine is powered off? |
