Just in case you don't know, ASICMiner is mining with these oldhat tech 130nm "ASIC" chips.
No, Asicminer is mining with oldhat, but less older, 110nm ones. Labcoin and Btcgarden preferred to go to even older tech at 130nm and promise better chips. Great promises right?

I am sure that AM is mining with 130nm.
Mind reading 2 posts above yours?

back to topic.
With FastHash machine going to delliver in Oct/Nov, do you think Ken will earn back investment in Avalon clones?
About AM's hardware sale, It's only because selling is more profitable than mining, and buyer will never earn back their investment by mining, nothing to do with power issues. With Avalon start to deliver, it's good point for AM to sell backup chips(or order more chips from fabs)for quick profit ASAP.
