Too expensive for such a pre-order. I think you can do it either with a relative high price in November when you have the miners in hand or pre sell it now with a lower price.

I would think about it at 150 to 200$... And you can make it work at that price easy... If not you someone else will...

No bank transfer payment option  What should ppl with no BTC do ? It will take too long to buy them, even longer to mine on GPU. Open an account on MtGox, use BWT to finance your account in USD, buy BTC for USD, withdraw BTC to your wallet. brambi1 has the point. Just see how many steps there are if you want to buy BTC on MtGox. How many steps, and how much time all that takes. |

Yes, you can see them in action on our website at www.bitcentury.io |

Let me clarify - Have any devices powered by these chips been sold and are currently in use by anyone that is a consumer? I'm not talking about sample chips used for development, etc.

The first devices are scheduled to be delivered in August 2012. |

That will be cool. If these guys were priced out at parity with BFL stuff (I know I know... my Jally has mined out 6 BTC already though) I would jump on with a preorder or two. Anything more than the $50/ Gh/s that the BFL is approximately at is too rich for my blood. I'll just keep buying more BFL miners. I hope this product is a great success though. More success in the market will bring down prices across the board. And more TH/s will squeeze out the smaller players!

Will this device be 'string powered'? It's a feature that is on the
bitfury ASIC and makes it possible to power them in series. Could
potentially cut the current requirements in half.
I myself have still no idea how this works however:)

I'm very curious about that too. It's a big advantage. My guess is that inside is simple OPAMP. Connect output with some power transistor (outside chip) and you can have regulated high amp zener diode. This diode will hold voltage at settled point while delivering current to chips that will need more "juice". There will be some power loses but if chips will draw very same current then this losses should be minimal. But DC/DC converted will be simpler, smaller and more efficient. You can do this with every chip, mounting opamp and power transistor outside package. But it's all guesses and I may be wrong  Documentation from Bitfury is needed ASAP |
Under development Modular UPGRADEABLE Miner (MUM). Looking for investors.
Changing one PCB with screwdriver and you have brand new miner in hand... Plug&Play, scalable from one module to thousands.

Not of much help though:) intron |

Due to lack of interest; we have decided to discontinue this offering. The handful of users who have placed orders will be happy to know that instead of refunding; we will be hand assembling and fulfilling your orders out of prototype chips. You can expect to receive your devices in August, a full 3 months ahead of schedule.
We are open to leasing our design if anyone is interested in printing usb3 miners from their own chips/reels. Please contact us via PM or E-mail ( info [at] bitcentury dot io ) to discuss arrangements.

It should have been obvious there would be little interest in this product. Just compare it to a 5 Gh/s BFL. Your LittleFury has: - a lower hash rate
- a higher price
- a longer delivery time

You might want to change the title of the thread to reflect the new status (or lock it ... or whatever). |
