      Isn’t this essentially an ASIC? For Scrypt?

      If this guy can do it, im sure we’ll soon see faster / cheaper ones on the market…

        Not a fan of asic/fpga :/
        I hope it draws enough power so it won’t be worth it’s price…

          No it’s an FPGA for scrypt. From this you could tape out an ASIC.

              Not really,
              allready earned in my latest investment. And i do not think this will change anything over night.
              Still plenty of time to keep on mining=)

              When the time comes i will still have easy sellable hardware. ;)

                Only if I can run it off of solar panels and a battery array.

                Otherwise, no.

                    Boss just told me to ask for his card when there’s a place where we can get them.

                    Apparently we’re going to build a farm.

                      One of the large norwegian web shops got in 100+ units of Sapphire OC dual 280X cards for 235GBP each.
                      Gotta say its tempting to build me some more. just need to find someone with space and electricity to me :)

                        I’ve grown accustomed to this timing, actually. I just got my first R9 280x about 10 minutes ago. Also, I will likely be getting a PS3 for Christmas. This is par for the course ;D

                          From what I understand, tapeout of the chips just begun in November. I guess it will take a while until the boards will be up for sale.

                          I’m curious about the wattage per board. Probably between 15-25W?

                            You’ll be mining and heading towards ROI and taking advantage of low difficulties long before anyone gets these in hand.

                            Is there a hackerspace or something nearby you? Seems to me that one would be excited to have an array of miners running and on display in exchange for power costs and a percentage.

                                Of course, I agree fully. I’ve already hit my ROI on my rig I’ll be putting together today, as I’ve bartered services locally for every part. I’m excited to see how this effects the short term market as soon as the news starts rippling out. I don’t gamble, unless there are charts that display figures in real time ;)

                                  Yep, I am.

                                  I’m worried these things will never hit the market, so the arms race for scrypt coins can begin, causing people to invest in farms, driving the value and therefore the price up.

                                  Just look at what ASIC’s did for Bitcoin: You’ve got people investing HUGE amounts of money in their mining hardware. That has a huge impact on the valuation that people demand for their coins. When people start mining scrypt coins in earnest, the same thing will happen to scrypt coins.

                                  Frankly, they just can’t come soon enough.

                                            Acutally, at a price of 65.5$ per chip, we don’t have anything to worry about right now, I think. Unless, as has been mentioned, they use hardly any power in which case they could be a good longterm investment for companies and put us GPU miners out of business. But yes, it seems we still have some time left for mining :)
