looking good, nice work.

In the last hour, we located the big bug in the software, as well as other small bugs. At minutes ago, our miner reads 100.79GH/s. (Theoretically should be 89.6GH/s)
So please expect in stock miners very soon. Now we are going out to have some beers

Not to rain on your parade, but that small a sample of shares doesn't show the "real" hashrate, for it can still fluctuate more than 20% or so in either direction. Post the stats again after 24 hours to get a more accurate estimate.
Anyway, congrats on beers well deserved. This looks promising.
Yeah,
congrats and btw, tell us how much electricity it is using at 100 GHs...
spiccioli

They work hard and deserve our thanks, please add in some videos to youtube hope you could get consistent results after 24 hour.. The Ants doing great

... Now we are going out to have some beers
Before starting sales could you please post prices and payment options and delivery times?

Enjoy! and congrats on the results till now!

In the last three days, we were debuging our software to make it work at the multiple chain mode properly. At first, we find that every the chip on the board is working at 350MH/s, but the total speed just cannot add up. 32chip*2.8GH/s should be 90GH/s, but in the pool our miner only reads 60~64GH/s. So I don't need to mention the hard work our engineers have had.

When will we get a gnat miner?

Professional company, and so great communication with the community.
Looking forward to the ants.

Yes, is none other than the AntsMiner for many Ants doing the mining or AntMiner for single or solo Ant mining. Interesting name.

I think everyone is waiting for a company with fair pricing and available stock.
From our experience, if you don't sell these chips under production costs, there will be a lot of people complaining of unfair pricing.
"Overpriced" = Default setting currently.

FAQ updated
Is AntMiner a stand alone miner or does it need a computer for running?
Standalone.
Do you ship the power supply with the AntMiner or do I need to buy one for it?
We do NOT ship the power supply, and you need to buy one.
Can I use one power supply for two or more of the AntMiner units or each AntMiner needs one power supply unit to run?
Yes, you can use one power suplly for two or more, but make sure the PSU is not overloaded.
A url for you website?
The online shop is still under construction, It will be bitmaintech.com.

We hope your price is reasonable and we need to pay by paypal or credit cards and only sell when you have stocks.

Friendly Bump:
Out of curiosity, how big is your first batch, and what kind of production volume do you hope to achieve?

Sorry, if I might be blind, but: do you guys mentioned a url for your website? didn't find any when reading all 5 pages...
anyway: looks interesting.

When will you post some prices?
Everyone is asking for the prices info for AntMiner blades/kits.
Bitman/AntMiner: Before you post the price, please study the competitor's miners:

Hope you will have good prices for us when you make the price announcement.

2) In your specs (page 7), I see the absolute max rating for core voltage is 1.2V. It made me wonder if it's safe to push to 1.2V for higher GH/s rating with proper cooling in place
3) Will your controller be able to allow for additional blades, such as 8 blades chained together to one controller? (8 blades x 90GH/s would give us 720GH/s hashing output.)
3): We are not sure so far, since there is no more time to do further testing. more detailed information will be updated.

I hate to keep asking, but any chance you're planning on doing bulk chip sales?
Hi MrTeal, excuse us to keep you keep asking
Will you sell your chips? document, testing chip etc.
Yes, we sell BM1380 chips. Documents, software are being prepared while we are still testing the chip.
Our github:
https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1
Please fill the form to help us centralize the testing chip request information, thank you.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nh1mF2bAKjHnwx9o4wt_X3q_epPWndLxj-qGwgqxNlA/viewform
The earliest time we can deliver the bulk sold chip will be in around 50 days. The chip order we sell will definitely have a commit day from foundry, which means we will sell the chip only after the wafer starts fabrication.
When will you post some prices?

It's cool that you replied with tech details. I'm an engineer, as I have my lab here at my office, which means that I can solder resistors easily.
From your BM1380 spec sheet, especially the GH/s, A and W parts (table) as shown here:
Several more questions, to help us understand better:
1) 180GH/s system kit, based on 2 blades (2 x 90GH/s).
Power: 3.7W x 32chips x 2 boards = 237W. With the controller (around 10W) plus 5% extra for power losses, the total power requirement for 180GH/s system (kit) is around 280W. Am I correct?
2) In your specs (page 7), I see the absolute max rating for core voltage is 1.2V. It made me wonder if it's safe to push to 1.2V for higher GH/s rating with proper cooling in place?
3) Will your controller be able to allow for additional blades, such as 8 blades chained together to one controller? (8 blades x 90GH/s would give us 720GH/s hashing output.)
1) 2 blades combined into a independent mining "kit".
2) The voltage level will be fixed when we shipped out and cannot be adjusted without you manually change a resister on the board, which may need EE expertise.
3) At 1.10V voltage the chip runs at 2.8GH/s, it will be 90GH/s per board. After testing at 325MHz*8core this afternoon, we are now sure the chain of chips are working at this level, but the software on the control board cannot communicate with the chip properly. We are fixing it now.
