What exactly is the point of buying this?  The power is so low, it's pointless.

your understanding of hobby mining is lacking.

Does not matter anyway since I am getting no info from the builder and he is about 10 days past promised sample date.




I don't want to be insulting when I say you don't understand hobby mining just truthful as I see it.

A longer explanation would be this.  
This item would cost under 3 dollars a month to run.
It would be quiet.
It would not be hot.
You can point it at  a solo pool like ck's and have a chance at winning an entire block at a very low cost in power.
It is not about turning a profit it is about a hobby item.




If you are in college it would run for free in a dorm.  May never hit a block but cost to run it would be zero.

Some would say power theft but I would say no just a different form of entertainment at a one unit level I would not feel guilty saying do it in your dorm.
