Technobits HEX16A2 or HEX16B Bitfury

[stuartsjg]

Hi,

Just looking at which bitminer i will go for as a first step (after software/GPU mining).   My main thing (as is anybodys?) is best value hardware.

The HEX16A2 doing 23GH/s at 269.30€ demanding 92W
   =  11.71€/GH/S
   =  4W/GH/S

The HEX16B doing 40GH/s at 551.00€ needing about the same, say 100W
   = 13.78€/GH/S
   =  2.5W/GH/S

Given the low power levels involved, thats not a deal breaker, really I would be better getting two HEX16A2 at 540€ giving me 46GH/s.

Am i missing something?0Ccant see how the HEX16B is better in this regards.

with me looking in IF anyone has ported the CGMiner HEX patch to BFGMiner ( and not finding it ) I've found your unanswered question.

Answer: the A2 is cheaper in the short term ( gets you started mining at at least 18GHash/sec, I've maxed at 22GHash/sec with out hardware modding it... yet.... cooling is an issue ).  If you have the cash/BTC definitly doubble the hashing power with the  most hashing you can get with what coin you can afford to invest in hardware and power cost per month.
