10Gh USB miner? Cheesy

Maybe?

As an aside: both the hexfury and the NanoFury 6 already do 10Gh/s+.
I'd certainly welcome another addition, though

One that did 40GH to 50GH at a reasonable cost and power level would be nice! Roll Eyes

About USB miners -

Bifury use 1A for ~5GH/s - USB 3.0 or powered hub needed
Hexfury use 2A for +10GH/s - strong powered hub needed

USB 2.0 will deliver 0.5A on 5V = 2.5 W
USB 3.0 will deliver 0.9-1A on 5V = 4.5-5.0 W (especially in PC, not all notebook/laptop USB 3.0 will deliver 1A)

One BE300S chip deliver ~7.2 GH/s = ~1.8W

According to USB power we can use:
1.39 Chip on USB 2.0 = ~7.2 GH/s with 1 chip, ~10 GH/s with 2 chips.
2.78 Chip on USB 3.0 = ~10 GH/s with 2 chips, ~15.6 GH/s with 3 chips.

That look nice, and according to string design we can save some on BOM,
BUT according to new information about FCLGA - PCB and heatsink cost can pass out "reasonable" cost of USB miner on BE300 (not count AM itself of course) Sad
