The lack or enthusiasm in this thread is palpable. No one wants this device.
I'll say it again and again, too little, too late.
While you may well be correct about "Too little, Too late" or it's poor efficiency, bad ROI, any other related items, I think your estimate of "No one wants this device" is off the mark. The Group Buys section, and even Amazon don't jive with a lack of interest. I am not trying to convince you to purchase one, or even be interested in what happens. I just think your assesment of interest and enthusiasm don't match the reality.
It'll be interesting to see what the long term (i.e. 3+ months) interest on this box is.
You're absolutely right! I'm a bitter, jaded miner... the kind of guy I used to hate when I was a newbie, lol. I'm honestly confused why anyone would buy these low-power miners now days.
But then again, I started with few Block Erupter USB sticks not that long ago and progressed from there. Dozens of people told me there was no hope of ROI. And I ultimately did alright. So I guess it's not much different than someone starting now with a Rockminer.
I guess the main difference now compared to last year, if you want to have some nice extra income from mining, you're not going to be able to keep your mining gear at home without adding extra power and cooling. I've actually exceeded my electrical limit with 8THs and that only brings in ~0.4 BTC per day and the difficulty is going up again tomorrow.
you would be perfect buyer of one unit. buy it and solo mine btc with it.
this is a great unit for solo mining for any one with 1th or more pool mining.
what is needed is an easy plug n play usb/raspberry pi option for some one to use this to solo mine.
here is your math this does 32gh at 39 watts on a shit power brick . so it should do 32 gh at 35 watts on a stud atx psu.

you have 2 s-1s on a 1000 watt psu mining at a pool and run this at solo mining.

the idea works

you are like me you have a host setup like I do in china a few dragons running 2th at a pool
4 ant s-1 undervalued running 630th at a second pool.
and soon to be running this at solo mining.

My goal is to create a 2 pack setup for ebay sales set to mine 1 at bit minter and set to mine 1 solo.
try to sell this around 200-250 usd. give an atx cable like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JG7AGDY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1a usb stick like this :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EF3GVAG/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1with custom setup software.
I think this would sell. You as an 8th miner truly are a perfect candidate for 1 unit set to solo mine as
it gives you and endless shot to score big on every block mined.
At the same time you are pulling .4 btc a day with your big guns.
If you break the math down at:
todays diff 11.7
with todays power prices <20 cents a kwatt and the current price of btc 660 usd +
it fits the definition of investment not the definition of gambling.
statistically speaking it would turn a profit not a loss thus investing not gambling.
also if this can do a pencil mod to drop hash to 28Gh, but drop power to 25 watts they are even better.
