[Block Erupter Blade (New Model)]Low Price, Limited Quantity

[MikeMike]

So this is the "Block Erupter Blade (New Model)" thread right? I got confused, i thought it was the "every other thread where people compare one vendor to another which drives the OP very very far off topic" thread.

But anyway, i thought the new blades had USB? And as someone mentioned and someone else quoted (i cant find it now because there are too many tardfight posts) asking if you need cgminer or it is self sustained.

And also the other post asking about where to get the backplane.

Why should it has USB ? Thats soooo stupid. Its a standalone unit.. USB would requite a PC to host it.

Maybe an option for those new to mining wanting only one or a few easily hooked up???

Yeah thats stupid. It would require that you have a host pc 24/7 runnning. With this blade design you just connect them to your router and its done..

It's that easy?
I hope someone posts a tutorial.

That is for the old blade, will do one for the new ones once friedcat gets me some samples over but they're pretty similar.

What's the point of the OP? I don't see any prices posted.

Thinking about this some more, it's not common for a manufacturer to specify the price of their product. That's for the retailers to do. Try asking Intel how much their Core i7-4771 CPU costs and they will refer you to a retailer.

Recommended Customer Price: $320.00 :p

Oh, yeah, forgot about MSRPs .

But I'm sure I can find a manufacturer that does not provide MSRPs if I wanted to .

[Trongersoll]

oh yeah, ethernet vs USB. I'll take usb. usb hubs are a lot cheaper than ethernet switches. we don't all have open connectors on our router.

There are instances where cars are bought for more than sticker when they are new and supply is limited.

With the fed, sure, money gets printed. But everyone knows how much there is and trusts that the fed wont be irresponsible and dump too many dollars on the market at once. In bitcoin land, yes, we all know how many coins are in circulation. But all the ASIC vendors are displaying zero responsibility towards the network. You can't bash the fed for printing dollars and cheer the waterfall of Asics hurting the market; it's the same process, except one is charged with trying to promote stability and the others are all driven by short term profits, the effects of all those chips hitting the network be damned

wow you are so demented - printing 85 billion a month for how many years now?

you must be on a government tit

I ran across one of those... IIRC, it was a 1989 Turbo Trans Am that had an MSRP of $23,000 along with a $46,000 sticker price.  I asked the salesman how they could justify such a high sticker price and he told me that it was such a highly sought-after and rare car... then I asked him why it was still on the lot after 6 months if it was so sought-after....

Awesome and Thanks!

Looking Forward to it as I'm not the most inclined.

Stupid or not i was just asking a question. It could be handy to run it off the existing cgminer people have running. How are we to know that these things dont just run at 20gh/s and the other 10gh/s goes to some pool friedcat has running. (Not that im accusing him of that, just providing an example)

My 4 original model blades are churning away on their own and i would need to get another network switch if i added more, vs my empty 10 port usb hub is sitting there waiting to be used.

I think canary said he should have them by the end of the week but i could be confusing that with something else. You can put your orders in for them though on his thread

[Ytterbium]

Is the picture accurate?  Are you using 32 chips to get 10GH?

I imagine...

32*.336GH= 10.752GH

Seems like a lot of unnecessary expense... 32 chips vs 3-4 from other concerns for the same hash rate.  I can't see get 10x as many chips for the same or less money.

Please show me where you can get brand new ASIC miner delivered to you in a week.

Ah, yes, you can have it now, you just get $^%&#^ in the process.  It's been true ever since May 4th when the 1.99BTC erupters came out, why should it be any different now?  Spare me your sanctimonious crap, it's still highway robbery.

It's a bad deal, for sure.  But I have to say it's pretty bizarre how you rag on Asicminer all the time, yet defend Butterfly labs to the hilt.

Does it operate with CGminer and P2Pool, or same embedded software as in "old" Blade?

This is a question I would like answered too. Hopefully someone knowledgeable see's it through the other stuff.  

If you want cgminer support, don't buy them.
That would be a mistake buying them.

It seems AM likes the idea that people shouldn't be able to use the best mining software out there when they ship their devices.
I guess they think that supplying us with hardware in advance will be a drastic effect on the massive profits they make.

Simply - don't buy them.

Was Avalon highway robbery?  At the time of preorder, no, but many today would say they are due to not making a positive RoI.
Was BFL highway robbery?  In the past, no, today, yes, in the future, it could go either way.

Avalon B1 and B2 have positive ROI.  In USD and in Bitcoin. BFL has always been highway robbery, not based on their prices, based on the fact that they don't actually deliver.

BFL sold product at a fixed pre-order price then sold at a final price once they had a product.  ASICMiner sold at the edge of what the market would bear, repeatedly.  It's funny how you have proof that ASICminer fleeced people over and over, but you refuse to see it all cause BFL is the 'long con'.  I've seen several resellers comment on how they bought and then had the rug pulled out from underneath them before they could even try to sell.  BFL ain't the stellar example of how to run a company, but ASICMiner could give PT Barnum lessons in snake oil selling.  The products BFL is currently shipping CAN earn more than they cost at this point in time.  The erupters haven't yet.  The current blades sure look shakly.

The tired old "product in hand" is a ripoff.  Sure, BFL took more orders than could guarantee everyone made a profit.  Yet they never gouged their customers to reap every penny.  100,000 people clamored to buy shovels.  BFL tried to make a hardened steel one that seldom needed sharpening, but the supplied metal was too brittle and they had to try again and again.  ASICMiner sold you an iron one at top dollar that needed sharpening once a week.  Yet, according to you and others, the fault doesn't lie with the 100,000 clamoring for shovels as they elbow each other for a share of the pie... it's all the salesmans fault for selling too many shovels.

Do you know what happens when an ASIC manufacturer doesn't charge the most they can charge (ie. "market price")?

What happens is what we saw with Avalon devices: people buying devices for $1,000 from Avalon, and selling them on eBay for $10,000.

So you've got a choice. Either let the manufacturer make the money or let some random buyer make the money. Who do you think deserves it the most?

[mc_lovin]

The thing I like about these is I don't see those little voltage adjustment knobs!  Just plug and play, no tuning at all (although that extra 3 GH/s a board will be missed) I could see these being very quick to deploy.

Who?

The bitcoin community who buys the mining equipment.

If the bitcoin community didn't exist, FriedCat would be leftovers in the trash can out the back of your local restaurant.

Basically, companies like AsicMiner and Avalon are pretty much on target to destroy the Bitcoin community in the near future.

I would not be the slightest bit surprised if Bitcoin either had next to no mining community in 12 months, or bitcoin was itself dead and gone.

At the moment AsicMiner is a short sighted attempt to grab as much cash and BTC as possible and doesn't give a damn about the bitcoin community except how much it can damage it by fleecing it of as much BTC as possible.

I will also point out that AsicMiner only started to sell hardware under duress.
I guess they took that duress and shoved it where the sun don't shine for everyone who bought AMUs and most people who bought blades.

Yes of course some people will buy devices and sell them on ebay for more.
But deriding that is directly deriding AsicMiner for doing the exact same thing to literally everyone who buys hardware from them.

P.S. tell me where above I am wrong ...
