Yep Bminer has much better reported hash from Luxor for c29.

How long is it going to take to you to make up the extra 300 dollars per card. I bet you could calculate that in years.

Well if you buy a few Z9 MINI's to support ZEN and the ZEN forks ZEN is not supporting you.

This is the kind of information I want and I'm sure everyone else is looking for.

1) Recommended system requirements

2) Compatibility with different GPU's and Algo's

3) Hashing gains for different Algo's

4) What would be the most optimized setup for the most efficient hashing (power, hashing rate, cost) that would compliment the acorn.

Right now it looks like you would be better off just adding another GPU to the mix but if the Acorn can add hash lower power consumption and increase profits it would be a great purchase and make your mining set more sustainable.

From my understandings each acorn will boost 4 gpu's 30Mh/s so two would gain you an additional 30Mh/s for a total of 60. This is for ETH and that's about it all I know if certain GPU's will gain more or less I guess we have to wait to find out. Who knows what other algo gains will be if any. But it at least looks like it will make the whole system more efficient.

Any body know how much BTC you would have mined if you bought an S9 from the first batch?

I'll take 20 if the ROI is 100 days or so.
