It will only do bitcoin and things that use sha256 only. For the next ~10 days it will make .004 btc per day and then less after that. That being said I ordered one months and months ago when it would have paid of itself in less than a month but still waiting for the order to be filled.

ok thanks - so really that type of machine is now pretty much useless for mining bitcoins?
What type should be used for Litecoin and Feathercoin?

For scrypt coins you need a GPU. Many people seem to be using 7970s now.

I cancelled my Jalepeno order and bought mining power from CEX.io.

CEX.IO - Get yourself into bitcoin mining -no min starting point to figure out how it works while you mine.

Funny I just signed up there. Seems only way to fund account is with BTC?
I can't see how to fund with GBP or USD?

Yes you need to buy BTC elsewhere such as localbitcoins.com.
Happy to help you through it if you need it.

What is the minimum BTC one really needs to get started on CEX? No minimum - and no trading fees. So lots of fun to be had.

Erm, that Bitcoin miner is only for Bitcoin mining, it won't work on Litecoin or Feathercoin but it might work on other Sha-256 alt-coins....

We're still waiting for scrypt asics to come out in force... If you like litecoin or feathercoin, just buy them on the exchanges...

Either GPU or FPGA (still in development and ready for pre-order). CPU too but it would not be good...

My sides. Feel free to buy one as a conversation piece to use over Christmas as it will no doubt help you ingratiate others into the Bitcoin but please search the forums and you will see why this is a terrible investment if you intend to make money. (That said, I do get tempted by FPGA sales on ebay as a they would make a nice collectors item)
