Could xCrowd tell us where is the branch(office) at Guangdong region in China? Shenzhen? if so, my girlfriend might drop by and take some pictures or something ...

We are working with a design house based in Shenzhen and a PCB manufacturer near Guangzhou, but we don't have an office there (yet) unfortunately. The guys there are pretty much in between hotels and living in airport lobbies. We will be hosting an open day in Shenzhen and HK as soon we are able to get the first prototypes together.

can someone from BIRMINGHAM, UK go and check them out, do they really have an office?

2 city arcade
BIRMINGHAM
West Midlands
B2 4TX
United Kingdom

Wouldn't be worth the effort of having our office based in Birmingham. It was already a uphill battle in recruiting talented people to move there for my previous ventures and we won't be even attempting it for xCrowd. The registered address was just a temporarily mailing address until we are ready to announce more about the company and those involved.

We will be hosting a number of open office days as soon as we get our first test batch from our TSMC shuttle. We aren't interested in simply showing of a FPGA demonstration as that won't be useful to anyone.

is he the one driving the flashy aston and jeeps, got a hot temper does not like scratches on them Grin

anyway keeping an eye on your updates- looking very hot, especially a fan of 'pay on delivery'.. hoping everything comes to fruition

You must be referring to one of the owners of Candy store. I'm too loyal to my Tesla roadster to even consider those outdated rusty petrol hungry machines Cheesy

Thanks CYPER, I should have checked with numbers like that. I have had companies claim that kind of number before, and put them up just to show that it was unreasonable.

Your calculations are still wrong Roll Eyes

It is very easy to calculate - Blade Speed / Bitcoin Price

So 75GH/s / ($1099/102) = 75/10.774 = 6.96 GH/B

Btw do you use the same USD/BTC exchange rate for all machines? I would assume you import it dynamically every time the table is refreshed by the viewer?

But still I think you should stick to GH/s per USD Wink

Tonight, KNC released pricing around single digit levels per GH/s for November shipping. That means any competitor will need to beat that by at least 25% considering KNC will have already shipped two months of products. Why go with a new company when one will have a history and competitive price. Playing it save today means just waiting for November and buying a KNC unit and having it shipped the next day. Soon there will be no more pre-orders unless the reward is huge.

GOOD LUCK!!! Hope you shock us with your prices and details tomorrow!

Funny to talk about a company's "history" when all it means is that they've already taken pre-orders for months prior to November.

Things are moving so quickly in the bitcoin ASIC world that "one month in the future" is already "history" Grin

Oh you're right, I should add that. I did for BitFury's alternate timed pricing. Just a sec and I'll have it up.

Eh? Oh, yeah mean sub $10/GH/sec? Yeah. Apparently the actual manufacturing cost of the chips themselves is $2 gh/sec, add in the machine, admin, and shipping and parts costs for the rest. Figure, $4.5/gh is the total cost and the rest possibly profit. Still room for cutting the price further, down to, say, $6 /gh/sec.

loling at myself.. Their page is password protected, so I took their miners off my list. Obviously it's just so they can update it for tomorrow though. I'll fix my page then. Please have some info on who is designing chips, it is strange you still have job listings posted. If that and the manufacturing company are explained then a lot of people will be excited to jump on board.

Your comparison table is wrong.

Have a look: http://res.cloudinary.com/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,h_900,w_1200/joenspmvlcveo2uzlaue.png

Olympus is $999 per blade, but each blade is 75GH/s, thus for 1.2TH/s you need 16 blades as shown in the picture = $15984

Basically each blade is 75GH/s and the more you buy the cheaper it gets, the cheapest being $999 when you buy 8 or more for the Olympus Wink

I don't think there is 9.6TH/s product, not even 3.7TH/s

The fastest is Olympus with 32 blades for a total of 2.4TH/s and a price of $31968.

Not sure why there are different prices underneath???
Also their pricing doesn't seem consistent, because cheaper product are better in terms of cost per GH/s.

for a company that is offering a competitive product at low cost along with escrow... this thread is pretty small.

I first checked out this thread on the first day it was posted and just came back to it now. Nice to hear more info will be released tomorrow. Will be watching!

I'm pretty interested in where this is going.

If only I was in a position to apply for an FPGA cryptocurrency job, would be fantastic to mix my career with hobby interests. Maybe once I've finished my thesis.

Why do you keep posting this everywhere? There is nothing to announce. No product. Nothing to mine with today. Who cares what you might produce in 6 months. Nobody.

That got a big lol. Guess I didn't see this. In retrospect the audience response proves you wrong. Many people were and are interested in this story. This doesn't mean that we are 100% assured that they will ever manufacture anything. We watch, and wait. Some companies produce, others don't.
