With this picture nobody's gonna buy them...

$184 for a stick?    they are about $70 with the current bitcoin price....
1.79 MHash / sec / $ is also wrong, it's MUCH more...

If they've got their numbers wrong please leave a comment on http://bitcoinexaminer.org/asic-miner-infographic/ and tell them (http://bitcoinexaminer.org/contact/)

In their defense, its not wrong, its outdated.  With how fast things change... this may be bad advertising.

Looks like BFL is shipping chips before they have even fulfilled their pre-orders (some of which are a year old):

Either way, I imagine the price of 1btc each, even with the recent USD/BTC events, is far above cost.  We can afford to drop the price more, and sell more... at a profit.

Marginal costs are something like $0.8 per chip. Obviously there are other costs involved, but you're correct in that the price can be dropped massively.

So ASIC can be quiet cheap when you compare them per individual chip price, but it's a big start up cost for the designer. FPGA's are more expensive individually, but you can do more with them, and on a small scale the cost is easier to pass on without hurting their accounts.

Thanks. Yes, basically the more ASICs are produced, the lower the cost per chip becomes.

I'd estimate the Block Erupter chips (just the chip) will only be $5-15 a piece ...

In fact, the margin cost per chip is less than $0.8 a piece, that is hopefully $0.8 per GH/s. Of course, if we consider the cost of heat sinks, fans, PCBs, power supplies, and the disperse of the initial NRE cost into each GH/s, it will be significantly higher, but still within a single digit dollars per GH/s.

As it stands now, at the very least it looks like that will be roughly 10MHs:1$ ...

If only considering the whole production cost, it is easy to achieve more than 100MH/s : 1$. The actual market price is another story of course.

No longer buying/selling Casascius coins. Beware scammers.

Any ideas about why hashrate this week is significantly lower than before?

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon. Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

I think he is TECHICENINE.
Same nonsensical content, and always starting or ending by something retarded ("good morning" and "ira" replaced the "thanks"); also using ".." instead of "...".

Agree. That's what I meant here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235763.msg2668799#msg2668799
Likely it's the same bot.

Do you think they're interested in trolling AM, or all the forum in general? Have you seen a troll with similar behavior (like you describe pankkake) in other sub-forums?

My theory are that they are both sock puppets of some person who was sick of the inane chatter on this thread, and is trying to get even.

Based on history (addresses) I see at least 2 x 1000 and 1 x 50 sticks are paid for.
But the rest (if there are) of the sale payments will be visible/added right before the dividend payment.

Combined with the mining income that 'll be at least a 0.02BTC/share Smiley

Total network rate is hitting 200 TH/s for the first time. Time for a friedcat announcement to bolster sentiment  Grin

I think friedcat has only made one real update in this  thread since I started to invest. Seems like years ago but actually only June 24th. Did he used to post more often than this?

It used to be more frequent, as time has gone on, they have become far less common.
