LIGHTNINGASIC LA100M,100MHS SCRYPT Miner, USD1999; LA1THS, USD1750.shipped out!

[redmonski]

Mine was 2 kh/s at first, then after a few minutes it became stable at 318 kh/s. I'm running only 1 rig with a cpuminer.  

[edit] Same here, cpuminer reports 0.0 kh/s, but the pool is stable so far at 318 kh/s. Running for already half hour.

What about the whole dual mining part?

[Beastlymac]

What about the whole dual mining part?

The current software i was provided only works for scrypt by the looks of it.

[milly6]

i can provide 3 pcs free sample for senior members testing: prove the speed, make test report, promote my team.
if you want to join with me. contact me.

i am willing to provide a full review with pictures. I am a senior member, and I can report to many other people who will surely want to buy one. I can do group buys if necessary after the review.

Pricing will be:

1-4: 0.425BTC
5-9: 0.415BTC
10+ 0.405BTC

Orders of 10+ will include a control unit for free.

5 Chip specifications:

Working Mode      BTC             LTC              Power
Dual Mode       2.5GH/s            200KH/s    2.5W@USB VBUS
BTC Mode           8GH/s            OFF           2.5W@USB VBUS
LTC Mode               OFF            350KH/s    1.5W@USB VBUS

Hey Beastlymac, how come you listed them as having 2.5GH/s BTC and 200KH/s for LTC combo on your groupbuy? Aren't these supposed to be 10GH/s BTC and 300KH/s LTC for the combo as per the info given on the first post?

[Blazed]

Looks like they wont ruin scrypt for a while with those prices atleast

They are 10ghs in BTC mode and 300-350khs in scrypt mode.

Dual mode gives you a middle ground in both of them.

Those numbers for dual mode are based off the dualminer usb. I have yet to test dual mode on these units. So far only scrypt has worked.

[Axion_Zen]

.4BTC each? Soo double what others are offering..

[r00tdude]

Has anyone received a response from asiabtc regarding the 2.7BTC offering at all? I PM'd him the day he posted this thread, and I've heard nothing back. Just want to be sure I'm not being singly ignored 

I saw the group-buy at 4.05 BTC and the 1.3 BTC profit he's asking is a little hard for me to swallow - it makes my GPU rigs seem money efficient 

Anyway, if anyone reads this - I'm a buyer at 2.7BTC! PM me please!

they point still everyone seems to forget is the power consumption

ok your 3 shiny R290 costs only 2400$ but they eat what... 1kW?
so thats 3-4 gpu rigs you can run even on a european power line

then you need mobo, cpu, ram, fans, fizzle around with os and config
and risers. cuz you just cant run these in quad-sli placement for 24/7
for all that stuff you then need that open frame case or an ugly crate

these usb miners might be expensive at launch, but they will come down
but first someone needs to take the first step and fund further development
then you will get cheaper chips and larger miners with better kh/price
like the ratio of block erupter sticks was against their blade counterparts

3x r9 290 is more like 1250 $ USD

Nice try ...

Plus if something happens, try to sell that to gamers.

Good luck.

They are useless for anything but mining which takes away from the amount of people you can resell it to when you figure out its not laying the golden egg.

As Cozk has mentioned, it does not cost $2400 for a set up similar to that. Also in regards to the setup being ugly; Have you looked at the pictures for the combo miners? They don't exactly stack up and look pretty. You are going to have wires hanging all around each unit, and they will just be placed around [a table] or something. How is that better looking? At least with GPU rigs, everything is together.

[Blazed]

For now these are a horrible deal...but soon they will ruin scrypt just like ASIC is doing to BTC.

One thing I'm sure of is that folks around here are pretty inventive and will find ways to stack these things and make drool-worthy towers.

seriously... hefty profit

I don't know where you're able to order those..

Sounds like you've never checked out the second hand ASIC market.

[DimensionsOfHell]

They started price gouging them recently due to the LTC rush. I got mine originally for $449 for the R9 290 and they each run at about 865-875Kh/s and consuming about 1000w.

honestly guys do we have to point it out again ..... mining is all about bang for buck vs costs

The current pricing means it will take an extra 36 -42 months on power savings to break even

3 years in crypto is insane !!

These fuckers are having a lend of us with the current pricing....

[asiabtc]

nice works,Beastlymac.
thanks.
