Topic: Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly" - page 2. (Read 108494 times)
I guess so far only Sidehack (user here at the forum, check out his projects), LightningAsic (lightningasic.com) and Hotmine (en.hotmine.io) have been able to get hands on the chips.
I need CHIPS!!! I've emailed them so many times....its sad they missed the market
I had a chance to talk with their head of sales when I was in London in early Oct. Was a bit surprised that they completely abandoned the plan of working with local integration partners and switched to focusing solely on selling thier containers. The thing costs USD 2.5 million per unit and few can afford it (I for one can't ). They are aware of the issue so they aim to target only the large miners who want to "double down". But if you compare the price and performances with Bimain's S9, it is less efficient and more expensive and requires three months of wait time. I talked to some Chinese miners and they showed little interest - as much as I'd like more players around to prevent Bitmain achieving absolute monopoly, it is going to be tough.
Already a "monopoly".....how much hashrate do the "corp" miners have???
Looks pretty close to 50%
That's just what we can "see".................

UMC 14nm FinFET ready for production in 2Q17

BitFury going for a 14nm FinFET chip next year, wow!
Hmm. Wonder *who* UMC will use for the fab? Per-their website, they do not have either a 16 much less 14nm fab. http://www.umc.com/English/class_300/c.asp October 27, 2016 http://digitimes.com/news/a20161027PD200.html

UMC will ship 14nm chips to BitFury in small volume in the second quarter of 2017, said the sources, adding that shipments will expand in the following quarter.

They only list in-house @ 28nm and (much) bigger nodes. I highly doubt that Samsung would be interested and that leaves Global Foundries with their fab in upstate NY. More specifically, what was the old IBM fab in Fishkill. GloFo licensed parts of Samsung's process so now offer 14nm to all comers.
Indeed things are moving. I'll get you some updates next week.
Nevermind next week, next next week has already passed :/
LOL,hold yalls breath!!!!!

New chips on schedule before the older ones are made available to the public. I wonder if their 16nm failed to outperform Bitmain's in real world usage and that is why they went this route. Hopefully their 14nm is competitive, unlike the 14nm chips that are currently available.

Eh, I'm sure there are other people also doing stuff. But let's make sure to let Bitfury know we're banking pretty heavily on their claim to support the community and decentralize and stuff.
Indeed things are moving. I'll get you some updates next week.
LMAO,another teaser??? Yeah,I'll believe it when I see it....but there will be nothing to show us...again
Least not for another 6-8 months
Believe it.
Your our only hope Obe Wan Sidehack

We need some diversity in the bitcoin mining scene.
Yeah, competition is good for all
Don't worry,there will be NO competition soon,the corps will own the network & you "home" miners will be mining dust very soon
Very sad to see "home" mining becoming extinct

If we're lucky, this new chip might be released next year. If we aren't, it's already scrapped 
still waiting for a chip from these guys still, i have hope in anything that isn't Bitmain. We need some diversity in the bitcoin mining scene. Indeed things are moving. I'll get you some updates next week.

""Kyle Torpey @kyletorpey October 13
@BitfuryGeorge what percentage of the network hashrate you think you guys will attain? ""
""George Kikvadze @BitfuryGeorge October 13
@kyletorpey target is 30 prc but vast majority of chips will be sold to 3rd parties .. to keep the netwrok decentralized ! ""
Does anyone know something about these 3rd parties?
Is any 3rd party coming up with a miner for public release?
Punin, please tell us something!
