Hashratio using AM gen3 chip ?

Absolutely right.

Weren't the rockminer team achieving .67w/gh?

Based on this post, the ASICMiner Gen3 chips are around 1W/GH, which is nothing special. The pricing is barely competitive with current Bitmain, Coincraft clone, and Spondoolies-Tech offerings. If this is what current shareholders were banking on to lift the share price, I think you better take off the rose colored glasses and think again.

Like I said before, I'm hardware agnostic, and am running Knc, Bitmain, and Coincraft units right now. I'm very underwhelmed by the current ASICMiner Gen3 offering and feel much better about loading up on Bitmain and Spondoolies-Tech hardware after seeing this!

So $1.4/gh is "barely competitive" against $2.3/gh? (sp10/S2)

Be honest, are you really going to buy another S2/sp10 after seeing this pricing? Even the dirt cheap A1 machines look expensive now.

Bitmain S2s are available for $1650 right now ($1.65 per GH), and they ship on 5-25. The S2 also comes with a power supply and doesn't require a host computer, so the pricing is basically identical except I have less hassle to setup and run a S2.

Even though that group buy is only for 100 units and is around 30% off bitmains price, $1.65/gh is really not even close to $1.35/gh.

Where are you getting $1.35/GH?

According to this link, the price is $1.50/GH plus the cost of a power supply and rpi, plus $200 shipping, which equals between $1500-1600 for 800 GH.

They are reselling hashratio machines.

Hashratio is selling for 68000 yuan ($11,000) for 8.5TH. Add another $500 for psus/parts and you get $1.35/gh.

Please show me where I can order a Hashratio machine right now and have it delivered in the U.S. for $1.35/gh. You cannot ignore the cost of power supplies and shipping, which are significant.

Also, I thought Hashratio was not taking any new orders, so the only way to buy their products is through a reseller, which will add an additional markup.

I'm sure Bitmain could also sell a S2 right now for $1.35/GH if they didn't have to pay for fast, worldwide shipping and include a 1000W power supply.

All I'm saying is that the ASICMiner Gen3 products are not going to take the mining world by storm like some in this thread have speculated. Asicminer Gen3 is competitive with current Coincraft, Bitmain, and Spondoolies-Tech offerings, but they don't seem to offer an advantage and ASICMiner is late to the 1W/GH party.

If Gen4 doesn't come out in the next 2-3 months, ASICMiner will be behind again when they have to compete against the S3 and SP30.

Never said you can have it delivered to the US for that price. But some people can get it for that low.

I added $500 for psus/extras even though you can get 850w for $10 ($100 to power the lot).

Even if shipping is $1000 it would still be about $1.4/gh using cheap server psus or $1.5 using gold rated atx psus.

The Ghash.IO mining pool capture 35% of all the network hashrate, and I wanna know what's the specific hashrate does bitfury own ?

a rough estimate, buttfurry chips make up ~30% of the network (i think)

Does anyone have a comparison of all the latest chips technologies?

That's not for the chip, that's for the whole miner. The miner isn't an AM product, only the chips are and if people are making miners, they've already bought the chips.

Imo AM just has "bullet proof" working average chips... but in mass quantity! ^^

dont mean to offend FC but chineese dont aim top notch handcrafted quality. they aim quantity. and thats perfectly fine imho ...

yeah but more w/GH than any other manufacturer is a quantity which just won't sell.
