The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

There is also Virtual Mining Corp, they are doing pre-orders for Fast-Hash-ONE 16 GH/s Chips (500 Lot) $75,000 which works out to $150 a chip. I have been trying to find information on them in the forums but there does not seem to be much and I can only search every 90 seconds or so.

A general comment about Barntech: He has been a dream to deal with via PM, I had issues with PayPal a few times (as well as getting in JUST before the close of regular sales). Great communication and showing some awesome progress in a short time. Pity there probably will not be any further boards for sale at the great price we (some of us) got during the original pre-sales round. Keep up the good work!

I really cannot wait to see these things going. Excited much? Yeah, this is pretty exciting to be involved at the floor up level with someone like Barntech. Watching things develop and the product being created before our eyes. Really is exciting. And again, hey, how great is a hobby/passion that can maybe pay for itself or even profit? Not to mention make the world a better place (those bad bankers ;-) IAS

Oh how I wish my other hobby/cash-job idea of aerial photography with a bloody huge hexacopter didn't cost me more than buying a boat Silly me didn't check the Cival Aviation laws for my country and now need a $10k licence just to charge people for photos I take with it...I find this 3 days after spending $10k on my car on totally unnecessary things.

After looking at cointerra's website, their individual chip prices aren't that bad... http://cointerra.com/product/goldstrike1-25th-asic-pack-50-500ghsec-asics/ $139,750 isn't that bad for 50 500gh/s chips. That puts a single chip unit at around $2795. I'd be curious what sort of samples they might send out to test the feasibility of a design. Even though its a ways off, if the cost of the board isn't too high I would certainly be interested in a $3000 500GH/s board. Might be cool if it was mountable in a PC case, as I imagine something like that would require quite a bit of cooling, much more than an array of much smaller bitfury chips. Price per a GH/s would be better than even our cheap bitfury pricing, as we would only get around 225-450GH/s with bitfury based on current and future pricing. EDIT: I'd be interested in trying to run some group hosting as well. I've got years of experience in big IT. Main issue would be the establishing proper legal protection for the customers and for the mining operator. Being based in the US, a mining coop would also have to follow any laws and regulations pertinent to the mining. Just putting it out there as food for thought. Most likely we will be doing something like this. Can't give any details as yet on pricing, but we will make it as cheap and affordable as possible. Thinking about offering whole miners and 1/10th shares in miners. As you mention, this will require hosting. As i have mentioned in a previous post, my preference would be for small farms in each city so a little collective of people could form in any given place as a bitcoin mining co-op of sorts. That way people could meet and be able to visit the hardare that they have a share of. Also, it would help to fight against the centralization and monopolization of the Bitcoin network that i feel is coming with the new wave of hardware. Nice to see you putting your hand up console cowboy. Yes, the legal situation would have to be solid so no one gets scammed but that shouldn't be too hard. Are people into this idea? Barntech I'd definitely be in.. and I'd be interested in hosting as well.. I'm near Toronto..
