and according to the thread above bitfury chip prices will be going up when sales reopen  Shocked

Up 270%!!!
That is why I asked Burnin about the overclocking to 5Ghash/s. Do the math, 2 to 5 is a 250% increase, but still less than 270%. Perhaps Bitfury are anticipating delays by some other manufacturers and hence lower difficulty rates (and higher prices)?
You got a link?
1BTC per GH/s is way over the top for a chip ...
They only cost like less than $10 per chip right?

Meh, Asicminer has done that ridiculous price (and 5 times higher), Avalon has done that, Bitfury now also?

I just wish people wouldn't pay these exorbitant (unlikely or never to get ROI) prices.

Amazing how many people are willing to part with BTC that they should know they'll never get back.

Projects like this (Burnin) and Barntech put the chip manufacturers to shame.

Pity the chip manufacturers don't care coz they know people will pay anyway.

(If the difficulty didn't rise, which of course it will in a BIG way as it keeps doing, 1GH/s currently only makes 0.00989772 BTC a day)
