BW.com has already released a 14nm Miner.

Rich

We can make another bet, who will be first releasing a 16/14nm miner? Bitfury, Bitmain or Innosilicon? 

don't jinx it

Sounds like kilo17 will be getting a 1 BTC gift soon.

Thunderf00t does make some pretty good science related videos.

Ooh this is an amazing video.  Very interesting.  I'm enthralled.

AWESOME find AJRGale !!!!!!    

we all know what alax jones says about the government putting lithium/fluorine/uranium/otherdrugsSUISIDEPILLZ in the water supply..
oh wait, you're talking about the alkali metals reacting to water lololol

yes, i can just see the final amounts of unburned lithium reacting with the water spray, "why is the water going purple.. OH SHI-"

just for some SCIENCE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmlAYnFF_s8 "High speed camera reveals why sodium explodes!"

Ever added water to lithium? When the fire department goes to put that fucker out the reaction will be something of awe!

And since lithium fires bring their own oxygen to the party it will be.... funny.

Sounds like the DreamLiner battery fires waiting to happen at home...
Using salvaged Li cells from eBay?  oh good god... unknown (real) makers and true ratings vs as-marked along with unknown lifetime left in them...  All makes for a safety and charging nightmare!

i have a problem with that fella and his "power wall" there is no over/under charge protection to any of them 18650 cells
fuse wire is OK for killing off shorts, but its no charge protection, now, all them cells packed in that small place, i can see a chain reaction happening when one goes off, he didn't want his house did he?

I'm just going to leave this here....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk50IuWXg-c

$300 Tesla Powerwall for the DIY'er

tesla prices and products are like apple prices and products

where is that "soon" bitfurry miner?!?!?!

Agreed. In a house (which doesn't move around much) there is no better bang for the buck than either a T105 or L16 based bank.

That said I run 12-370's and 12-400's in my shed because I was too lazy to build a battery box to vent them properly. Don't be like me.

If you are talking about the wall mounted space age looking ones..I have buddies who have batteries for solar farms
and if I remember right a current 'ugly' set of such you can get twice the capacity for 1/2 the $$$

(but they don't hang on the wall and are kinda ugly)

same stuff thou if I remember the convo

just a thought so do your research

as to the feasibility of your plan I leave that to others..the above just 'jog'd' my memory of this coming up in chat with some folk

on the release of this wall mounted battery device by tesla at least what you supposedly can get bang for your buck equivlent

good luck whichever

I'm looking into the Tesla Powerwall batteries for my 21kw system.

Where the hell is that like button??  Rock on PlanetCrypto 

"... total outlay and running / maintenance cost compared to just buying power from the electricity company?"

Yes, since 1998. I re-evaluate every 6 months or so.

Initially in 1999 the power company gave me an estimate of $20,000+ to run in power to my place (I'm almost a 1/4 mile off the main road and I'm the only customer on my road, which I own). As a submariner (nuc powered) I had been investigating being self sufficient since the late 70's. So needless to say instead of giving them 20 grand I spent it on RE hardware (batteries, solar, wind, genny's, etc.). In Decmber of 2005 I "bit the bullet" and had them connect me to the grid (at a cost of ~$5,000). At the time regular service was $0.055/KWh and off peak was $0.028. I still generated most of the power and bought small amounts from them during peak demands (water heater, electric stove). Then 3 years ago got into BTC mining and became a heavy power purchaser (~$2,500/Month). Recently my power coop announced rate hikes as a result of the EPA's "carbon tax" (CPP Clean Power Plan). This initiated, and is still ongoing, a research endeavor regarding the future pricing and availability of electrical power. Basically my research and analysis to date indicates that within the next 5-10 years electricity will become a luxury item, nationwide. Priced out of the reach for low and middle income wage earners. My renewed self generation fervor revolves around "getting in front of" an impending decrease in quality of life. Survival.

A properly designed renewable generation system, OVER TIME, will always be cheaper (and OBTW better for the environment) than buying power from an external source. For one simple reason, You're buying power with today's dollars and "locking in" your cost / KWh over the life of the system (15-30 years). As such I am NOT a fan of tax incentives, rebates, or other incentives. Those can disappear and have disappeared with the stroke of a pen and public opinion. An improperly designed system will never break even/pay for it's self. It's real easy to design a system wrong and are typically the systems that fossil fuel generation company's like to broadcast about.

I'm a fan of a particular kind of nuclear power not currently operating here in the US. Thorium fuel cycle molten salt reactors. Having lived for 12 years less than 250 feet away from the core of a LWP (light water pressure) reactor (Nuclear powered submarine) my previous statement comes from experience. LWP's are a problem looking for a place/time to happen. Checkout: http://www.ted.com/talks/kirk_sorensen_thorium_an_alternative_nuclear_fuel

is this company just make chips 


so what we can do with this as normal  buyer do they make mining hardware
