it could cost 2.200.000$, aprox, but the most amazin thing is that you can "transport" your mine center over world with only a truck... Shocked

well, this is borderline price assuming maybe two more months wait.
Why? S7 is $789+shipping=~840 for 4.7Th, but I will go with $789 number because there are discounts for large purchases, which will negate shipping
16000Th (container)/4.7=3404 S7 equivalents
3404X789=$2685957
It would take Bitmain to simply lower S7 price to ~$605 to match the container price per Th (although without counting better efficiency).

Conclusion: Bitfury has to lower the container price to 1-1.2 mil to have a significant competitive advantage and deploy en masse vs Bitmain.

The 0.1j/GH figure was air-cooled with a heatsink (and IIRC was actually closer to 0.11)

Immersion cooled figure they mentioned would be a little less efficient, the .125 actually sounds about right for a fairly close to max pushed miner setup under immersion cooling.

can government start buying those in the future to build his own muga farm and start mining? i can see this if bitcoin get very big

if not government some unknown company that want to jump in the mining scene, it can maybe bring some decentralization

Just a couple of points:

12PH @ 1.5 MW = 0.125 J/(gh/sec)
16PH @ 2.0MW = 0.125 J/(gh/sec)

Yes, you get power supply losses, but not 25%. I'm referring to the famous 0.1 J/gh figure.

Bitfury are also vague on the 'plug and play' angle, does this thing take 440 V 3 phase or 11kV? If it's the latter I would be surprised although they mention 'transformers' so maybe it does have about 10 tonnes of power transformer, circuit breakers, pf caps and other bits inside.

Why they are publishing and pushing this stuff is anyones guess, but you can bet your bottom dollar (or bitcoin) that they will only sell this if they can make enough profit on it to offset losses they would make from creating another competitor. Maybe they just want to dominate the market in asics by decentralising through leasing equipment to competitors.

See anything wrong with this picture?

This is purely amazing. It's also a sign that Bitcoin is going to be huge. Just think about how many people invested in this technology...

Wow .. One of these can hit 16PH!! Home miners are doomed.

Intereted to see how much THESE cost!

Just hoping this isn't what they meant when they said "Selling to the public". I don't think my neighbors would like this in front of my house with a big power cable running to it.... Grin
