DIY chips and USB miners are for VASTLY different markets. I showed my wife and non tech friends how I setup the USB miner... I doubt I myself could figure out how to solder on the chips to some board without burning my house down. You keep those diy chips, I have a little led light that blinks and keeps me up at night, and I love it!

fine. then i hope that people that buy these usb know these are truely for novelty purposes. while i spew out reasons why one should not purchase these usb you and the people that think like what you have quoted better stress to people these sticks are ONLY for novelty purposes.

There are people that have stated they want to purchase 50 of these. i hope you know with 50btc you can buy ALOT of hashing power than what these usb can offer.

All Men may be created Equal, but not all Men are equally capable. I scratch my head wondering just what i would do with a bunch of asic chips. Do they need Salsa? or at least a microcontroller to run them?

is that a rhetorical question? there is a diy community. do people read word for word of everything i write?

i have quoted there is a diy community.

Even without quoting me people should already realise there is a diy community that will assist people with issues... or someone can just correct me wrong on that point...

Hell, i have never programmed a microcontroller but i'm betting $600 worth of diy chips that this diy community will come through so money where my mouth is...
