I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned anywhere that I can see in these forums, so I'm finding myself in the odd position announcing for GAW Grin

http://www.gawminers.com/categories/products/litecoin-scrypt/by-brand/gaw-miners/generation-j-new.html

tl;dr 250-500 MH/s Scrypt miners, pre-order, ~ 3rd-4th quarter 2014 delivery, 2W per MH/s, $20 or less per MH/s, hosting options available too.

Fury and seeds will be worthless.

To be fair they are kind of worthless already Wink

Here are some numbers I looked at over the weekend. The Flower/Ensilica/whatchamacallit stuff that GAW's new miners seem to be based on are about 4 months out (October). If you look back four months to February you'll see the Gridseed cupcakes were selling close to $300 each, a staggering ~$800 per MH/s. Now you can get Zeus for ~$70-80 and SF for ~$100-110 per MH/s. That's a nearly tenfold decline in price in four months.

It's not impossible then that come October we'll have IN STOCK / NOT PRE-ORDER hardware at $10 per MH/s. No, the Fury probably won't be selling for $12, but the next one up that's ~12 MH/s could be around $100, and the SilverFish 28 MH/s could be around $300, and a handful of other vendors could pop up between now and then. Anyone getting ready to put down $20 per MH/s on preorder hardware needs to weigh it really carefully, including power consumption, inevitable profitability decline etc.

i think the best bet right now is to hold off on purchases, and then as we get closer and closer to Q3/Q4 see what equipment is out there and then make a selection from what is available.

I agree. 3 months out before you can get 1 of these new miners is way too risky with how the profitability is going down seemly faster everyday.

I am going wait a while and see what happens.

1 thing i will say about GAW is that they said they offer a full refund up untill the point of shipping. so at least you have the option of cancelling
