Definitely interested in seeing any videos you can produce with these running in production mode with scrypt. |

GPU's are more profittable and cheaper. Fact. These aren't worth it unless your electric rate is something like 50 cents per kwh.

FIFY If these are real, then GPU miners will need a new algorithm to hash by the end of this year. |

Agreed! I thought so too but then I found the site below (scroll far down to see photos). http://mall.diginforce.com/goods.php?id=39I still don't know what to make of it. I have not seen any photos/videos showing that the thing actually mines. I'm hoping that it is the real deal. But why bury it inside of a heat sink? |

Hell, if it takes me 4 months to earn back our investments I would be shocked. And then after that, I can sell everything for 80% what I paid for it. You can't do that with this ASIC. |

These scrypt guys are serious about protecting their GPUs.
Some people seem to forget this chip has nominal SHA capabilities which will not break the bank but will be a nice addition. It also makes the price a little better when you consider 80 Gh/s or 160 Gh/s plus 3 Mh/s and 6 Mh/s scrypt, respectively.

I think I will be waiting for dense Gridseed based hardware, but nice to see them in the wild at least.
For those defending GPUs as more profitable:
GPU:
Energy hungry
Hot
Hard to scale at a point without industrial cooling and power
Less up-front cost, but long term pain due to the above
ASIC
Energy efficient
Much less heat
Easier to scale (Simple USB hosts compared to also needing an entire PC to run multiple GPUs)
More up front cost, but savings in the long term due to the vastly increased efficiency.
Pluses and minuses as with all things. Anyone spouting off about how GPUs are so much superior are not considering all points.

So...a fabled LTC/BTC mining device sent from China 'at the weekend'?
- A device that no-one has heard of before, and is probably impossible because ASICs don't work that way.
- A device that can't have any power circuitry in that tiny package, especially anything that uses 600W.
- A device in a tiny package that needs to dissipate 600W of heat. The heat sink of an Avalon Blade has to dissipate 600W and it's 6" high and 18" long at least.
- China is basically closed down for holidays from today, so there'll be nothing shipping 'at the weekend'.
Terrible scam, photoshop pics and didn't even do any research.
FAIL.

It has been written that one device dissipates 60 W, a set of 10 devices dissipates 600 W. Looking at pictures it seems to be possible. |
