Re: [ANN] Sfards: SF3301 sample chip is available [Updated 04/05/15]
Serious stuff for serious developers.
Nice to see hardware for people that develop.
In terms of price I don't think for a development board that is prohibitive for a serious developer.
How the pricing of this offer somehow determines miner price is hard to determine as it really depends on where you have your final unit built and the volume of your run. It is worrying that this is the only such offering currently available for the foreseeable future so they could as avalon, asicminer, hashfast, bitmine, black arrow, bitmain or bitfury or spondoolies have done before price it to what the market will bear (thanks vs3) not what is best to make ROI for a home miner a small farm.
