Huh?

Since when Finland is...in Hong-kong...?

The site is under construction still - as of now it mistakenly reports sold out.
We're launching very soon. There will be all the necessary materials/infos/gags provided when it happens;
sign up for the newsletter and follow us on twitter to get notified first!

No one's beating Bitmain's $/hash.  $1.96/GH is bonkers!   

Sold out??

Wait so they are modular because they are video card form factor? I thought you could add additional chips! I would like to see how this compares to bitmain in $/hash and W/$.

Excellent.
I will add your link to the article.

Noncetech can now be found on twitter. Some posts may be unofficial.

I enjoyed it very much.  Thanks again.
I wish I lived in Finland and could go.
Hopefully someone will step up and go.  It's not often you can get to see testing live.

Thank you for the interview and kind words Scott.

In other issues, is there anyone interested in checking out our beta miners in Helsinki? If a hero or senior member from bitcointalk lives in Finland, it would be very nice if you could come by and check our miners. We will have cookies and coffee for you! PM us for details, thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share with you all my interview with Antti from Noncetech.
Great guy and it is really nice to see a new company that was formed with such thought and dedication in the mining game.

I definitely think Noncetech is going to be a solid manufacturer of mining gear.

Congrats guys.

P.S. company name translates really badly in UK slang

Hello miners!

We have named our product Sampo! Some of you might realize it's Finnish and some of you might even know what it is (related to Finnish mythology). Sampo is our first modular Bitcoin miner. It can be bought with 1 to 4 Sampo mining cards. Mining cards can also be bought separately.

One mining card has a nominal performance of 200 GH/s with a power consumption of 0.5-0.7 W/GH/s.
The turbo mode values are the following: 250 GH/s with 1.0-1.1 W/GH/s.

This means that our 4 card Sampo has the following specs:
Nominal performance: 800 GH/s, 0.5-0.7 W/GH/s
Turbo mode: 1000 GH/s, 1.0-1.1W/GH/s
[edit] Values may vary by +/-10%

We have also crunched numbers and come up with the prices for our modular product. We have managed to cut costs to match the price of our competitors a little better:

Sampo mining card @ $949
Sampo 250 @ $1079
Sampo 500 @ $1999
Sampo 750 @ $2949
Sampo 1T @ $3849

The prices do not include the power supply. A 1200W PSU is optional at $200.

Our beta rigs will also be sold at a lower price than what we previously calculated. The price will be $3549 and will be available for shipping next week from Finland.

We apologize for the current layout. We will make the site more eye-friendly when we have the time.

Hi guys, congrats on the project it looks great. Good luck as things progress. Could I suggest you look into getting an EU reseller on board who is based in a lower VAT rated country? Finnish VAT is really high and that's going to hit some of your potential customers quite hard.

Looks pretty awesome !

Yes we are using LGA1366/LGA2011 type mountings. Basically any heatsink with 80x80mm hole pitch will fit. But be careful with top side, since our A1 chips are spread out to a bigger area than basic 40mm x 40mm OR 45mm x 45mm contact area. However we include a heatspreader on topside, so if you plan to use your own water cooling, it should fit without modification. BUT please make sure with us before you do this.

The rear side has a solder pad, intended as cooling contact for heatsink. We use immersion plating to achieve better planarity on the pads -> better heat transfer.

Cooling is needed for both sides. So far in one of our stress tests we reached 46-47Cdeg (measured at top-side heatsink & A1 contact point) when we were running 250-254GH/s per card speeds. This temperature was reached by having fans at 100%. I guess we could reduce the fan speeds a bit to get better W/GHs^-1 numbers and reduce sound levels.

Thank you for the support so far! We really appreciate it.

Grats on the progress.

Hello miners!

Currently we are doing stress tests, and we found out that the overclocking sweet spot seems to be between 250-260 GH/s (per card). This is the range that seems to have good stability over the power consumption and temperature, which means 1.1W/GHs and 59°C. The room temperature was 22°C. With this setup, the mining rig would have a hashing speed of about 750-780 GH/s and a power consumption of 825W-900W.

Here is a picture of 2 cards (4 blocks) running at about 130 GH/s each (one mining card holds 2 blocks, and each block has 4 chips):



However please keep in mind that that these are the OVERCLOCKED results. The default nominal hashing speed is 25GH/s per chip.


Here is the setup:






In other news, we will be opening pre-orders for the official products within a week. It will be possible to buy rigs (3x cards, 1x motherboard, 1x power supply and Raspberry Pi) and mining cards. Mining card buyers will get 1 motherboard for free, because it is needed to operate the mining cards. This is intended for more experienced users to build their own rigs and use their own PSUs. Motherboard has 1x ATX-20pin connector and 8x mining card connectors. A Raspberry Pi connector (with our software ready) can be purchased separately to control the device. We have estimated that it takes 2 weeks for the products to ship after we have received payment.

There exists a minimum order quantity for ASICs (from Bitmine) that we purchase, so the minimum amount of rigs for the pre-order to happen is 21 in total, or 63 mining cards. We will also limit the amount of pre-orders to 80 rigs or 240 mining cards to ensure that the production is not encumbered and that the products will ship at the required time.

3 beta rigs will also be up for sale and immediate shipping next week. They are now being assembled in Finland as we speak. The beta rigs can be considered the same as the final product. The beta rigs are sold at a price of $4099. They will be shipped from Finland, so there won’t be import duties inside the EU.

The final prices will be revealed soon, but for now we can tell that the rig’s price will be close to $3700 and the mining card’s close to $1100. We understand that the $/GH/s ratio is not the best around, but as a small manufacturer, it is hard to compete in price with larger manufacturers. We are, however, using quality components and will be shipping products at a steady, reliable pace.

We will soon post again to tell you the latest news! The release of pre-ordering will also be informed through our site’s newsletter.
