As everyone was buying the Orbs at a speedy rate, they introduced the Blade. I had the opportunity to test and review the Blade Scrypt miner thanks to GAWMiners with the assistance of Holy Scott from HolyBitcoin. Specifications. The specifications are solid. -There are 2 PCB Panels in each Miner. -Each....

The new DualMiner USB miner is one of the first entries of ASIC's into the Scrypt mining domain using the Gridseed, and we here at CCN first reported about these ASICs all the way back in January. Love them or hate them Scrypt ASICs are here. In the case of the DualMiner it an easy to afford and use USB ASIC that also brings a vastly lower watt per kh/s ratio to GPU miner setups. The deal with the DualMiner is it can mine both BitCoin SHA-256 and Scrypt coins (such as LiteCoins) at the same time if desired. With an easy dip switch setting, it will mine Scrypt at nearly double the dual rate....
Review: The Blizzard 1.3+ mh/s Scrypt Miner by ZeusMiner. ZeusMiner is the company that makes the Scrypt ASIC miner chips for many companies other than itself. It has positioned itself as not only a manufacturer but also as an OEM and re-seller of ASIC Scrypt Miners. Having to manage all three is a new and unique challenge as many companies are only one or two channels in the chain. So far, despite some bumps in the road, like massive demand at rollout, ZeusMiner has done very well. I recently reviewed the GAWMiners Falcon, which is made by ZeusMiner. It is an excellent miner that is well....
