Official ASICMINER Hardware Information

[bitman442]

Has anyone confirmed that the new blades will be USB? I've heard rumors but not seen anything official.

I am seeing 50 packs of BE USBs for 18.50 BTC  (1.15BTC/Ghash) vs Blade for 14.99 BTC (1.15-1.5BTC/Ghash depending on overclock)

this doesnt make much sense to me, since the BEs could be paired with enough USB ports for around 1.00-2.00 BTC?

Seriously, folks need info on the new blade.  USB vs. Old Blade is almost the same value prop, feels rushed asking folks to order now if new blade is any magnitude better.

as far as i know, the old model blade will be priced @ 12.5 BTC + shipping ; i have no info abt new blade

[stellan0r]

ASICMiner honors warranty and I have processed claims plenty of times for those who bought from me.

Where are the specs for the new blades posted?

I get the indication the new blades are "new".

[g83]

I think they will be posted next weekend according to friedcats last update

[stevenroose]

非常好！

Can't agree more!

[reactor]

Where are the specs for the new blades posted?

Everyone needs to order old blades and USB's first before specs get announced!  People keep giving piecemeal info (someone says they are usb, someone says they are the old blades only pre-voltage locked at certain settings), but the rush is on to order now!

I hope the new blades are a bit more user friendly.

I actually thought about ordering an old blade, but decided against it because it just seems like a giant PITA to get working.

Basically, for an old blade, the user needs to:
- Hack up an ATX power supply to power the blade.
- Come up with some sort of mounting solution for the board.
- Supply your own fans.
- Connect and config via an ethernet connection.
- Run a stratum proxy on a host computer.

Basically, running at 13 GHs with an old blade seems to require a bunch of kludges.

Hopefully, with a new blade you'll be able to connect to a computer via USB, connect the blade to a power supply using a standard connector, fire up cgminer and mine away.

Am I expecting too much?

And with each day you fail to get the thing running, losing precious BTC not to mention the bi-monthly difficulty increase slap. No thanks.
