Oh good so I can keep ignoring them?

You guys are pretty much right. It doesn't make much sense to buy the blades when you can get USB miners for cheaper. That is part of the reason why we are not selling them at the moment and sticking with the USB miners. The other reason being a 500 minimum order for wholesale Blades from Gridseed is over a million dollars in up front costs. Too risky!

Supposedly there is limited availability of the blades right now, so the price is higher than buying the USB miners of which supply is plentiful.

We have USB miners as low as $155 shipped when buying 25 or more, come check us out! smarthashing.us

The scryptants (my nickname for them) do have the advantage of lower watt usage or no? Also it seems much easier to manage one unit, than 25 smaller units....

It would be 1 unit vs. 15 units

What management? You plug them in and they go.

Even if they didnt they dont require $460 worth of management.

Like anything new that price won't last long. If you've got some money to burn then get batch 1, otherwise wait a few weeks and they will cost less as production ramps up.

Thats exactly what I mean, you have to plug 15 units with power and to a controller which requires an ethernet, it gets messy!

An Ethernet ?  Really?

$460?  I'll take messy

I assume the price of the scryptants will go down in price, and then it will completive with gridseed 5 chip miners.

Looks interesting to me, as I have been considering buying a batch of Gridseeds and would rather have something like this.  But not at that price.
