15 bitcoins in 20 hours. Whoa.<p>You could make a fortune at the factory just doing the burn-in test for 24 hours.<p>In fact I am curious why they would even ship them from China, you'd lose money the weeks on the boat, just plug them in at the factory...

At the current exchange-rate, it seems counterproductive for Avalon to sell their units instead of running them in-house to recoup the cost of production (in a couple of days), and then continue to generate profits.<p>Also, since they are the only game in town (plus BFL &#38; private players probably), they could take advantage of their position in the short term, before the difficulty increases by another order of magnitude.

I am surprised the article does not mention that Avalon, in addition to ready-to-use devices, just started selling bare mining chips to OEM manufacturers last week. And they already sold $5M worth of them (500 thousand chips) <i>in the past 8 days alone</i>! This equates to 140 Thash/s (twice more power than the current network). Lead time is 9-10 weeks. Manufactured on-demand at TSMC.<p><a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181982.0" rel="nofollow">https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181982.0</a><p><a href="http://store.avalon-asics.com/?product=avalon-asic-chips-10000" rel="nofollow">http://store.avalon-asics.com/?product=avalon-asic-chips-100...</a>

This is really perverse. Some of the best talent got sucked into making people click on ads and now this.

Yifu Guo also was the first supporter to donate toward development of Bitcoin Payments plugin for wordpress: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woo...</a>

Because they are literally selling you a machine that just sits around and 'makes' money.<p>If the amount of profit from using these machines was greater than the profit from selling the machines.. then the company selling the machines wouldn't sell them to you..

Keep in mind that your return is based on the current net hash rate of all mining computers, everywhere. Combined with the 6+ month wait time, you can buy a $20,000 rig that would mine you $500/day today but by the time you get it the hash rate will have risen so high that you'll be lucky to out-mine the cost of your power consumption.<p>I wouldn't be surprised if these companies were using each rig for a couple months in their prime before shipping them out.

are there checks based on electricity consumption to detect cannabis growers in the usa (or elsewhere)? if so, how long before a miner is raided?

So how many did they setup for themselves in the 6 month delay period?
