Time for an update to mine more of these SCRYPT coins (amongst many others):

Like to calculate how much these coins are worth? http://www.coinwarz.com
… much MUCH more interesting to mine than Bitcoin!

5.5Mh/s – Gridseed G-Blade (Manufacturer from China)

Two months ago Gridseed — famous for it’s 350KH/s @ 7W — miners released the G-Blade. More chips on a few ‘blades’ resulting in 5.5MHs/ @ 160W for roughly ~ $1500. You can find everything about both at the unofficial FaceBook fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/gridseed

Can it get any better? Oh yes!

17-90MH/s GAWMiners

GridSeed reseller GAW Miners from the USA has become famous for hosting gridseeds for your at their server room. Not by charging you anything, but instead scooping 2.5% from your hashrate to cover hosting + energy costs. Read more here …

But they now also provide their own Miners!

The Fury 1, 1MH/s: ~ $200USD
Black Widow, 13MH/s: $2,300USD
The Falcon, 27MH/s : $4,200USD
The War Machine, $54MH/s: ~ $7,000USD

More information & purchase @ GAW Miner Webshop

Needless to say? Offers more bang the for the buck per Watt than Gridseed does!

75-90MH/s Lightning ASIC

A chinese distributor of GridSeeds, taking mining matters in his own hands as well with:

LIGHTNINGASIC LA75M Scrypt miner, 75MH/s: $9,000
LIGHTNINGASIC LA90M Scrypt Miner selling at ~ $11,000USD

30-90MH/s – Innosilicon A2 Terminator

On 4/20/14, Innosilicon announced sales of their A2 Terminator Scrypt ASIC on Bitcointalk and their website. Innosilicon is not a newcomer to the ASIC mining realm, by any means. They have previously completed the design and fabrication, through Global Foundries, of an A1 CoinCraft SHA-256 ASIC chip that was used in many cheap, ready-to-ship miners out of China in recent months. From their A1 chips revenue, Innosilicon was able to manufacture these A2 Terminator Scrypt ASIC chips without crowdfunding through preorders, as many competitors have. Innosilicon is taking bulk orders for shipment in the next weeks via email and Skype. The A2 Scrypt ASIC chip is the first 28nm Scrypt ASIC to come to market. Innosilicon purposefully chose not to accept money until a prototype was filmed. Since Innosilicon is able to deliver 28nm sooner than all its competition, they are charging high prices (. However, even at these high prices, Scrypt ASICs will soon put GPU Scrypt miners out of business.

  </p> <h2>(soon) 250MH/s – KNC Titan Miner</h2> <blockquote> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">Initially when the Titan Scrypt ASIC has been a announced earlier this month by KnCMiner they have said it would be 100 MHS in terms of hashrate as a guaranteed minimum, but now the company has just announced that they will guarantee a minimum of 250 MHS. The price of the device remains the same – $9995 USD without VAT and the shipping date remains Q2/Q3 with Q3 being more realistic. The company also offers the people that have preordered their upcoming Neptune SHA-256 ASIC to switch to the Titan Scrypt ASIC if they want to.</span> </p> </blockquote> <p> More info: <a href="http://cryptomining-blog.com/1797-kncminer-titan-asic-to-offer-250-mhs-instead-of-100-mhs-scrypt-hashrate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow external" data-wpel-link="external">http://cryptomining-blog.com/1797-kncminer-titan-asic-to-offer-250-mhs-instead-of-100-mhs-scrypt-hashrate/</a> </p> <p>

30.000KH/s @ 300W for ~ $5500. So that’s 5-6 times the speed of the GridSeed G-Blade, but only 4 times as expensive. Better value for money!

But in the comments of the video I see rumours of a device called the Fibonnaci, due for launch in July/August 2014.

Competitors

KnCMiner and Mining ASICs Technologies have both promised to deliver by the end of 2014. Fibonacci will begin deployment of their Scrypt ASICs sometime in July or August. Zeusminer is fast on Innosilicon’s heels as they have also gone received chips from tape out and will soon reveal a video of a hashing prototype, shipping is due to begin before the end of May. Alpha Technology is currently awaiting their chips, which have already been taped out. Alternatively, Gridseed Scrypt ASICs like the dualminer USB, and more recently the Gridseed Blade, are also available for purchase right now from Chinese manufacturers and also American re-distributors. Other Scrypt ASIC companies include Bliss, Flowertech, Alcheminer, and SiliconArt.
