Fortunately the device is not that expensive. 1 USB unit with 5 chips is $133 and the controller is $66 so the total cost of a 20 piece system is ~$2700 (¥ 16398). http://mall.diginforce.com/goods.php?id=39


2700$ for 20 devices for 6Mhs in LTC mode only, is about 30% cheaper than equal hashrate GPU mining rig
but the great saving is power.

6Mhs gpu rig use about 2100w at the wall
6Mhs asic only L mode use about 140w + 100w? (my own valutation) for alimentation of various usb strips....

8.75 times less power!!!!

coinwarz: mhs 6000 power 2100 LTC net revenue 30.15$ (italian power cost applied)
coinwarz: mhs 6000 power 250 LTC net revenue 39.11$ (italian power cost applied)
it's 29.72% more profitable

definitely we got 30% more profit whit 30% less investiment.

so i'm sad... i just ordered my 5 gpu...
