Does look interesting. maybe gearing up for 5Th rigs or beyond. Who knows can only wait and see what happens. But in their latest releases not that impressed with price and waiting times and also the upgrade moduals are shocking lover priced too

L = LTC? Maybe a Scrypt miner?

This is defiantly a scrypt miner with MHs on the list, My guess it will be 18.2MHs at around 0.92BTC at release, pulling 420W ATW. This unit will be Ethernet stand alone same as the BTC units.

Interesting move. Is this hardware competitive with KNC specifications?

no need BitMain will actually deliver a working product whereas KfC will make excuses why they aren't. Also, the L1 probably won't catch on fire. Nice bonus.

Had not even considered LTC until I read this... Think it's a solid guess

It most likely is a scrypt miner. It says mh on the product page. Interesting to see how they revolutionize the scrypt market since they did with the bitcoin market and essentially setting the standard for miners (no more of that BS preorder for a few months)

It will only rocket if people think they can get a lot more LTC/Doge or convert LTC/Doge to BTC for cheaper than the price of mining BTC. But since everybody buying can do the math if everybody buys it nobody wins except Bitmain. A game of chicken... LTC went sub $5 again just now.

the only thing that I understand is that Bitmain is WORKING and deserve our attention!!!

that is not good. A gridseed blade is 130-140 used on ebay 4 would be 520 usd hashing at 20mh and power is around 380-400 watts. you can buy newer gear from zoomhash. built on gridseed tech http://zoomhash.com/products/plug-and-play-46mh-s-1000w-scrypt-asic-package-door-to-door-within-5-business-daysabove is 46mhs it will pull about 900 watts it costs 589 after the coupon zoom5344 comes with psu. so 2.3x the hash for 1.2x the power and about the same power per mh. So if bitmaintech can only provide a 18.2mhs unit at .92 btc it is obsolete.

There is definitely some investment, GAW is on track for $100M in revenue this year..
