can you please share what's your NRE cost for 180nm process? Just curious if an opensource asic could be crowd funded?

Sure. Since we're avoiding most EDA tools licensing costs and going for a MPW process through University channels, our costs are in the figures of 120.000CNY for a test run of chips.

EDIT : 120.000 CNY are about 20.000 USD

Cheers.

comes up to $20k only for a test run, that is quite reasonable, if that is successful you could well design and do wafer and go for chip productions?

Yes, it's not including engineering costs too, which are in the ballpark of 10.000 USD, and yes, that's the plan, 180nm full wafers are still affordable and we have good funding.

Cheers

From your website: 0.18 um (micrometers) /180nm (nanometers) die size custom design. Huh

Maybe you meant feature size.

Sorry, some typos here and there, will be fixed shortly. Thanks for the head-up. I clearly meant feature size.

I'm not one of the engineers but i'm in charge of creating the text contents you are reading, so you may encounter some small quirks like that, the text will be fixed properly anyways in due time.

EDIT : Fixed all instances of the typo.

Cheers

Awesome cheers

Dear Bitcoin Community,

We are a new venture involved in the research and development of a novel Bitcoin mining technologies.
Our brand name is labcoin and our website is http://www.labcoin.com.
The management company is named "iTec Pro Limited" - Hong Kong, legally and officially registered in such jurisdiction.

This is initially a self-funded venture, so this thread is not meant to sell "pre-orders" or the likes.
Rather, it is a mean for the community to evaluate our work and plans for a eventual, future second phase, when we will open investment opportunities to the public.

I won't post many images of IC and similar here, as a fair number of details can be found on our website, once again, our url is http://www.labcoin.com.

We look forward for constructive feedback and criticism. You can contact us with any question at [email protected] or post in this thread. Thank you sincerely for your time.

Note : the pictures shown on our home page are just 3D renderings of possible case and board design and they do not represent real products.

Nominee Director
