Does "rigorously tested and tuned at BitCrane’s testing labs" sound like "second hand" to anybody else?

What's $1580 these days? About four S3 boxes which would be nearly double that speed and nearly half the power consumption per gh?

Looks like they didn't skimp on VRM's (do I see 24 per chip?) but 500w per chip is a crap load of 0.7-0.8v to deliver:



you are way behind in efficiency. 1w/GH @ 28nm ?
no thanks.

Somebody got in there quick... 1w/gh is very poor for 28nm; why is performance so poor on a brand new line of hardware?

How many chips per miner?

"hash rate of 550Gh/s per chip" this answer does not require complex mathematics. But tapeout who where when, temps (with water cooling) and vid would be good.



Looks like a motherboard and CPU to me.

Their closebup board shots bear many similarities to Hasfast based boards - ie: Habaneros, Yoli etc...

Combine that with liquid cooling, elongated footprint, and their hashrate/power, I'm guessing this is a Golden nonce based miner.

To be honest it looks like S2 in a different package.

Pretty thing to put on your desk, but nobody's buying these to show off.
This would be a great competition to Bitmain for the same price, as it looks better and has better cooling, but you're at least 2 months late.

They had it been a month ago.

And let's be honest. S2 is a better product. I look forward to this time, when the new S2 upgade modules will be on sale .
Miner is not a car that would require water-cooling. Water cooled miner needs always a bigger  cooling radiators and better cooling fan.

I tried that already with KNC modules and Corsair  H100 water-cooling
 Much better cooling can be combined   Artic Cooler i30 with  SilverStone FHP141 fan  http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=366

$1.58 per GH/s =



You gotta be around $1 per GH/s or less to compete in this market right now.

Also, your name rhymes with Bitmain, is that just a coincidence?   Roll Eyes

Lastly 2 asic chips total per miner?Huh  1 asic chip = 550 GH/s???  Ultrahoist modules??  Never heard of those asic chips before.

You'll need to forward a review unit to a trusted member here in Bitcointalk to prove you're Fo Realz Realz, or no one will believe your outfit.

I get this for the site using safari:



You are a mac user so your opinion is invalid; but that said would this even be a wise investment based on free power? At this point you could get a shipping container full of 132nm for that price?

a quick search on Google shows your business all over the place that a good thing now you showed a premium build product with water cooling, it is nice but not necessary. nice casing with power supply included.

To do list suggestion

1 chip system on open frame with fan no power supply priced at 0.6 btc and you become the "best in class"

The problem right now is you want to sell a bitcoin miner the same way computer business sell computers and that not the way to go

The nice looking stuff gamer buy it for showing off in their living room and on the net to prove they have the "best in class" computer system

IMO you have a too fancy product to compete with other miner out there

Edit I got to it on a vm using windows
and if you do not have free power it is too expensive  1580  usd needs to be under 1200 usd including shipping

They are using two trademarks that they don't even own.   Huh

Edit: The "radiators" in the pics of the outside of the case don't look like radiators to me.   Huh

The case looks nice, I like the water cooling too.

What I don't like is that your site doesn't work. You should have made it ready before announcing here.
I've heard of you guys a few weeks ago, but the lack of site discouraged me.

1. can we have video of miner working?

2. can we have price reduction since it will never ROI this way?

3. can we have power consumption lowered?


other then that, it looks like a great unit.

1)www.bitcrane.com = 404 not found

2)1 watt a gh = loser unless btc price goes up over 1200

3) what is the price?

4) facebook  address works

5) back to price if unit is in had and ships in a day or two in needs to be less then 3x s-3's   right now 3x s-3's are 3x .68 btc = 2.04 btc

that is 1155 usd.  and you need a psu the evga 1300 is 175 at amazon.

 so 1330 usd gets you 3x 425gh = 1275 gh  at 996 watts  if you run the s-3's at freq 212.5


this gear is 1100th at 1100 watts

So if the s-3 setup is 1330 usd and can arrive in the usa in a week

this must arrive in a week and be under  1330 usd to compete.


That said looks nice  I would love to have one of them.
