Waiting for some updates - seemse we are going on the right way
Updates -> multicore chip, minimum 4gh/s per core, power usage is still measured, because we are going higher than 4gh/s (32 cores)

Keep reading updates

110nm size 1ghs/s and 2.5W power consumption

The si is still not done, still thinking about name,.....

Guy, is this it?  Is this your update?

Probably I will be the only one with only accepting escrow payment. That's for sure.
I will post the lead time when I will know more about.
xCrowd is insisting on using escrow too and they will be ready in 20-24 weeks apparently, around the middle of november.

.. after the "baby" is born you will need to feed it for years till it's productive  Grin
Other will have to feed their to grow Smiley

with so many players in the market, how will your product be in demand? could you sell for less than $15 per gh/s?
Less than $10 per gh/s

After the statement above, I will be watching this thread very closely. To be honest, you should probably get somebody to do marketing/pr for you. Oh and loose the attitude, nobody cares if you have millions of $ because at the end of the day your final product or at least proof that you have a prototype is all we care about.

p.s If you need a site or a server/vps, send me a pm.

During this path stay on right track and keep Your promises. Remember, Your promises are who You are, and Your ideas are Your path.

NEVER is too late for a GOOD idea.

Thanks a lot.
Yeah, I'm trying to drive straight (smile)
For pre-orders sorry, there will be only normal orders with realtime stock. As I said I don't want repeat mistakes from other people.
On the first place is TRUST.

My big problem is the site design (i'm not good in the design), so it takes more time to finish that part.

Thanks again to all your support!


If you really need a design for your website, I'm pretty sure there won't be an ASIC.

K.I.S.S. - develop, manufacture AND sell the ASIC. Thats already more than "simple".

Take a look at KNC/AMC/ASICMINER/... The only one that's got a pretty webpage is BFL.
Avalon could take everything offline keeping just the chip order form online and it would
be as good as now.

If you're really convinced you need a website, feel free to PN me and lets check the details.

And best luck  Wink

Way behind using what metric? All ASICS currently being sold are expensive in terms of $s/hash, not J/hash. We cannot tell who is "way behind" until we see the price of finished product. But I am getting ahead of myself, since there is really nothing to be discussed in this thread yet, anf there won't be until the first unit is tested by an independent party.

Do you really think funnow will be able  to sell chips that are inexpensive in terms of $s/hash? There are some posts by bitfury and ASICMINER about chipsize, NRE Cost and chip cost in various die sizes. Guess why ASICMINER and maybe AVALON will develop new chips if they have already mask and  they could produce chips in any order size requested.

You are too late to the ASIC game. There are at least three companies that have ASICs developed already, and you are a fool if you think those three companies aren't working on improved versions (well, maybe not BFL, lol).

That's A LOT of competition and developing an ASIC takes a lot of money and a long time.

These companies are selling their machines WAY over their cost because that is what the market will bear right now. ASICs in large quantities are cheap. Expect them to get cheap and competition to get tougher. And most importantly, difficulty will skyrocket.

In the not too distant future (within a year), we will be able to buy ASIC machines with about 100 GH/sec power that run at about 100 watts and cost a few hundred dollars. The difficulty will be such that the ROI for such a machine will be 1-2 years, so mining will be mostly for fun and small profits, not the cash cow it is now.

I think you're greatly underestimating the greed of the people building these devices.

The only way this turns into a "cheaper for faster" scenario is if someone steals an existing design - downsizes it to a much smaller process and straight up sets the price at something reasonable - then you might see a price war.

~

As far as coming late to the game - I agree... the only strategy that would provide for success is if the project is entirely privately funded (investors with very deep pockets) and as soon as they have a working design they start cranking out units and reduce the process.

What's needed is something in 45nm range (or less) to really make a killing as a hardware designer.

The price of bitcoin may rise ... especially if it can only be mined by Serious Miners (big investment in ASIC) they may tend to keep the btc in their wallet ... (especially if they don't really have to sell many to cover electricity costs ?)

Well, you might not have to worry about competing on price or power performance if it's close.  What is really needed is an ASIC company with good customer service that can ship units at the time of order.  I think people are tired of waiting in queues to get stuff.  They want to place an order and get their item. 

And there is no guarantee that five months from now the situation will be any better with the current three companies selling hardware.

In the chip business, only the first three (with large margin) and the ones with lower and lower cost (lower margin too) could survive.
I don't recommend hardcopy or something like that which is not possible to win in the competition of cost/performance, especially if you are not within the first three, which is obvious now.
Try to invest some serious time and effort to develop the one with lower power or faster speed at a reasonable cost, which might guarantee its success with the improved chip version from the first three.

What I know at the moment:  0,18u-0,13u (180nm-130nm) with less than $250k (ASIC development $150k, shattle first test (50 chips) - $40k, chip assembling and final testing $40k)
Development could take 3-4 months, maybe 5.

Altera HardCopy?

I wonder why people didn't try this earlier.  Their NRE is more like $750k though.

Altera claim the NRE can be as low as $165k for 130nm HardCopy Stratix devices, even they don't recommend it for new designs:

You mean the whole package to design, testing including the NRC and other expenses to produce a working bitcoin asic chip? How long would it takes to produce them? 3 months? or shorter time frame?

" You get production devices in approximately 20 weeks " about 5 months? But this is only a prototype working model of the chip and board itself.. how much would be the chip, pcb and labor to produced them? Chips size will be big and power consumption high ..though

Mr. funnow,

Go develop your chip. You will know when it's time if you're going to make money or not, or if you just end up helping the network.

Timing, speed and quality is important. We don't care if it is 28nm or 80nm or 110nm...

Go develop your chip. You will know when it's time if you're going to make money or not, or if you just end up helping the network.

What I know at the moment:  0,18u-0,13u (180nm-130nm) with less than $250k (ASIC development $150k, shattle first test (50 chips) - $40k, chip assembling and final testing $40k)
Development could take 3-4 months, maybe 5.

Altera HardCopy?

I wonder why people didn't try this earlier.  Their NRE is more like $750k though.

Can we just stop with these BS announcements?  You have nothing to sell right now.  When you do, start an auction or sale and people will buy from you.  No promotion is necessary in this market.  We will come to YOU. 

Or, just develop it and mine yourself.  Every preorder or announcement is a scam until proven otherwise.  You are no different.

You are too late to the ASIC game. There are at least three companies that have ASICs developed already, and you are a fool if you think those three companies aren't working on improved versions (well, maybe not BFL, lol).

That's A LOT of competition and developing an ASIC takes a lot of money and a long time.

These companies are selling their machines WAY over their cost because that is what the market will bear right now. ASICs in large quantities are cheap. Expect them to get cheap and competition to get tougher. And most importantly, difficulty will skyrocket.

In the not too distant future (within a year), we will be able to buy ASIC machines with about 100 GH/sec power that run at about 100 watts and cost a few hundred dollars. The difficulty will be such that the ROI for such a machine will be 1-2 years, so mining will be mostly for fun and small profits, not the cash cow it is now.

It's good that you're starting a project with thinking about the project name. I was told that it's the most important part of every project so I'm glad to see that you try to cover it first. Then of course comes the website and it's good that it's 2nd on your list. This gives me confidence in your project. Keep us updated and let us know as soon as you have your logo designed!

As I mention, I'm starting a new topic, because it's a project nearly from scratch.
News will be posted here. Website will be online in about 4 weeks. We are thinking about project name.
So keep reading news.

stop revealing new projects that aren't ready to ship, it is getting worse than all those new scamcoin
Scam sites are the worst thing, and they have nothing in common with us.
So stop putting us in the same "box"!

You'll be way behind the game with that process and such lead time.

Way behind the current quarter, but the game has 3 more to go. We just started the ASIC race and there is probably 5 years time for various enhancements that will determine the bestselling ASIC design.

EDIT: NOT that I believe that this project is true or will be successful, otherwise why even reveal it on this forum in such a way.

Probably I will be the only one with only accepting escrow payment. That's for sure.
I will post the lead time when I will know more about.

And you will offer better prices than current ASIC vendors right?(BFL doesn't count. Inaba is a lying tard) Considering that AM sold 10Ghash devices for ~1 mil USD in a matter of days you will surely get your R&D money back even with lower prices. Let us know when you will have a better estimate for your timeline. Will you be EU or US based?

Way behind using what metric? All ASICS currently being sold are expensive in terms of $s/hash, not J/hash. We cannot tell who is "way behind" until we see the price of finished product. But I am getting ahead of myself, since there is really nothing to be discussed in this thread yet, anf there won't be until the first unit is tested by an independent party.

This.
