First prototype of Bitfury S-HASH board is hashing:
Features:
If you don't have the budget for a large number of chips, overclocking is the best option, as it will get you 40GH/sec out of a card (probably more with better cooling), instead of 25GH for a standard H-CARD for the same 16 chips. At 40GH/sec, the card uses about 35 Watts, running off a standard 12V DC supply.
Features:
- 16 Bitfury ASIC capacity
- Adjustable (through 0805 SMT resistor) voltage regulator between 0.7 and 0.9V
- Core voltage regulator has 50A capacity, so chips can be overclocked.
- On-board ARM Cortex M3 processor with standard RJ-45 100 Mbps Ethernet port.
- Built-in mining software can operate stand-alone. No PC or Raspberry PI needed, just an internet connection.
- TCP/IP stack with DHCP and DNS support. Just fill in pool server name, port number, username and password.
- Support for Stratum and backup mining pools.
- Built-in small webserver for chip status/speed reports.
- PCB temperature sensor, could be used for automatic shutdown when temperature gets too high.

Beautiful work cscape.
Is there any chance of retrofitting current H model boards for a little overclocking? I have no fear of a solder iron.
