Wait I'm confused. Is each chip 60Kh/s or 360Kh/s? And at $65/chip, that makes a big difference.

Chip is 60Kh/s but "usb machine" is 360Kh/s as it has 6 chips.

Ah ok. For some reason I thought that USB device only had one chip.

At the press conference, the dev board is 500CNY each, and 400CNY for one chip only.
It's ~82USD each dev board, and ~65USD each chip.

You can check chip's datasheet here: https://github.com/gridseed/gc3355-doc and calculate its $/GHash

So that little 360Kh/s miner costs $82 + 6x$65 + HSF? You're talking almost $500! Unless you pay like $0.30/kWh, you're better off with GPUs. What will the final cost be, does anyone know?

They are totally out of the ball park if they think $60+ a chip will work

Really need to be ~ $30 for it to come close ...I have ~ 55% of my rigs already on solar so until they get at least within GPU ball park numbers they are a non starter and just a curio for noobs

Having said that I am keen to buy 1500 chips lolz

Lets hope these guys dont do a Avalon/BFL on the self mine crap Undecided
