Topic: Bitcoin Brothers Aim To Disrupt Bitcoin Mining - page 2. (Read 6289 times)

One of these guys used to post on the german forum section. Completely retarded, utter nonsense. Stay away from this.

I'm with you the odds are considerably better then these guys being real

(want the green skinned girls from star trek enterprise by the by.....just saying i need perks to pre-order again aliens or not!)



video....(get the old heart rate up for the guys on the thread)

WTF.  aliens came and showed me how to mine bitcoin with space fungus.  who wants to invest?

This is fucking hilarious... yeah it looks legit, bitcoin central mining authority.

pfft.... wanna see my resume? I helped NASA develop chips using graphite.... silicone is sooo outdated.

btw, i built Beowulf back in my grade 11, it was fun.....


Serious, his resume is nothing special..... however i doubt any of that is real.

Jesus Fuckin' Christ, I'll suck your dick if this dude isn't Satoshi: http://web.archive.org/web/20001205132100/http://www.tjack.com/html/resume-long.html

Either this dude's for real, or somebody is using his vitals to advance a major scam.

Hunt him down and let us know? I mean we got you, now go rip that asshole..... another hole?

Either this guy faked one helluva Linkedin page or he's the real deal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ackermann

They had promised much in the past (german sub forum), delivered (afaik) zero

So many red flags.

They claim their 16nm hardware will be ready to deploy in Q1 when TSMC won't even begin mass production until Q2-Q3.

They also claim to have built their 20nm hardware in April even though TSMC's first 20nm customer was KNC.

If they did actually built a 3PH supercomputer or two they would let everyone know their mining address.

I read that article this morning and all I could think was, "somebody needs to do a little research before writing anything ever again."  Full of glaring mistakes and downright BS.

Yeah... sure... these Bitcoin Brothers have their own proprietary 16nm chip that consumes 1/20th the power and are going to be mining by Q1.  Good luck with that.

I agree...I would have typed more, but I can not see my screen because my eyes are rolling back in my head so hard 

In their presentation, they offer 1GH/s for a year for 7.99 Euro. So one TH/s per year would be 7990 Euro.

If I look for the cheapest offer for cloudmining, I get 49 US$ per month per TH, i.e.  588 US$ per year which would be 470 Euro.

This definitively looks fishy (unless, what I never exclude, I made some mistakes in my calculation).

The smell of this particular bullshit is burning my eyes.

Saw that article this morning, that's huge but looks too good to be true.  

Does anyone own any of their machines??  I mean a person, with reputation I guess is where I'm getting at.

I smell a scam, 1.6 HexaHash (The stage after Peta) is way too high for this stage in the game.

It would be like the entire network going from being powered exclusively by an overclocked S1 AntMiner to a Spondoolies Jackson nearly overnight.

It could theoretically kill the network, Bitcoin mining altogether and those guys would be the only mining company in existence.

No one would buy, there would be a massive sell-off on launch day or shortly after.

This is basically what Bitcoin was meant to be against, large central firms and let's not forget the imminent risk of a 51% attack.

Except in this case it would be a 150% attack, imagine that...  just like imagine the network gaining 6 times its power at a flick of a switch.

They'd literally own the network...  times six over.

If it does go on, the foundation would likely step in.

Even at 0.15 joules per GH/s, the cost to run those in Germany would be too great; expect high prices from the get go.

Smells like a trap, I'll keep buying HW, my instinct rarely fails me.

Well, if they were able to transmute quantum computing and cryptography together, they'd be on to something.

Just one of those impulse buys I'll pass onto the bigger risk takers I guess.

Too many red flags, not enough concrete for me... still will be interesting to see what unfolds.

Plus the latest machines from proven, which are still on pre-order, is at 0.22 joules per GH/s (Aire) or 0.58 (SP30) then 0.69 (S4)

Many don't even believe the Aire yet and won't until they've been shipped.

Could be an attempt by the elite for everyone to sell off their Bitcoin so it remains in the hands of radio guided idiots like the Wanklevoss twins.

Lots of speculation can arise from this.

Funny is that you already can order without knowing what the pricing will be.

Some gems from the press release:  http://www.bitcoinbrothers.de/press/pr20141103

 
* Each 6-petahash MSEM contains 256,000 of our own 16nm FinFET Plus 3D ASICs
* First 16nm ASIC in the Bitcoin world:
   outperforms 14nm chips in both computing power and low energy use
* Scales up to Meta-MSEMs, in which 1.5 exahash are controlled from a single console

&
"If you compare hasher gates to cores, each MSEM has double the number of the 3.1 million cores in Tianhe-2, the No 1 on the PetaFLOP list: and comes at a fraction of the cost, the floor space and 1/20th of its 18 MegaWatt power draw."

So they have claimed to have had a 45nm chip (see my earlier forum link), a 20nm (your link) and now a 16nm (techcrunch). Yet I've not seen any evidence any of these machines exist at all, color me skeptical for now.

They claim to have 200 MW ready to use. Let's wait for Q1
