Hey,
Sorry, I didnt write that clearly.
The second version is expeted to be 0.149GH at 195W.
The current miners are technically running better than S7's at around 220-230W.
In order for me to get the answer to the Buck Converter question, I'd have to figure out how to translate it into Chinese, Ill see what I can do.
Yes, we will get that info updated on the website asap.

Hey Rich,
B11, B12 and B16 are all currently running on the BW-LK1401 Chip. We are currently preparing the BW-LK1402 chip for the public release. I am not sure what "Buck converter and string design" mean if you give me more details Ill ask tomorrow.
Our expected specs for the next version of miners are:
0.149GH at 195W, the current miners are technically running better than S7's at around 220-230W. We want to get the public release miners at optimal design and performance before releasing them.

As for the public release, the miners will be available on our website in June 2016 to everyone in the world with a 100 day guarantee of performance.

Thanks for the additional information and pictures. So all of the current Miners are 0.149GH & 195W and based on the BW-LK1401. I had based my assumptions on the previously published spec for BI1 currently on the Website as being 260W/TH which is wrong. This is good news as we can now expect a further improvement in efficiency for a BW-LK1402 based Miner. Do you have an efficiency figure for a Miner based on the BW-LK1402 Chip yet?
There have been some pictures of Hash boards in B11 on the Web that show a Buck Converter based design where the 12V is reduced to the voltage needed by the chip by the Buck Converter chip.
A number of your competitors, Bitmain Avalon and Bitfury use a string design which does away with the Buck converter and put the ASIC's in a string and reduce the voltage in that way. It is more efficient and I wondered which approach you have taken?

Hi Virgilio
Good to see you here. One thing that would be interesting is more information on the Miners that are used for B11,12 & 16. I assume that B11 & B12 are based on the BW-LK1401 Chip and B16 on the revised and more efficient BW-LK1402. Is this correct and are all of the miners using Buck Converters or are any of them a string design?
Anything you are able to share on the overall design, efficiency and Power consumption etc would be of great interest to people on Bitcointalk. What would also be very good to know is your plans for sales of Miners to individuals?
Many Thanks
Rich
Glad to bere here, thanks.

On current difficulty
B11 & B12 are .0002968/TH Daily
B16 .002302/TH Daily
B11 & B12 also paid Daily interest (0.02%/Day) from point of investment until they started Mining and have a guarantee of returning the original principal.

If its 0.0032 BTC daily rate for 1THS its very good in my opinion especially when it comes from BW a legit mining site which I have known lately. Other legit cloudmine gives you 0.002 BTC or a bit more for 1THS so well done to them if they will pay like that. Difficulty increase is the only problem I guess, I would be very happy with 0.0032 BTC for 1 THS especially when they have put down the price to 0.42 BTC for 1 THS.

I would sugest to just ask any questions you have. Very easy then to judge if they are official. Although if you think about it why would they be anything other than genuine?

I guess i will continue to hold for a while and sell a while before the halving, when everybody is in FOMO mode.
My current numbers in case anybody is interested in B12 numbers:
It will not pay back without selling the Hashing power (expected) before the halving. Numbers are still better than i initially assumed.
Code:
B12 hashes bought: 10.2 T
Total interest earned B12: 0.2 BTC
Now earning: 0.225 BTC / week
Now earning: 0.03 BTC / day
Current Market price: 0.55 / T (=> 5.60 BTC)
Mining income (until halving) 3.99 BTC
It will not pay back without selling the Hashing power (expected) before the halving. Numbers are still better than i initially assumed.
Interesting numbers. I must sit down and do them myself, also for B11 which I think will be slightly better? What is you current thinking on when to sell?

Just for the record BW has sold over 18 Ph/s worth of B16 so far. Looks like they are almost at their 20 Ph/s mark for sales.
Yes there seems to be no end to the demand. I did the maths on B16 and did not like it much, but have bought 1TH just to see how it goes and compares to B11 & B12.

It isn't looking very good to get paid back before the halving. Even without taking difficulty increases into consideration it would take 165 days. Guess we'll see what happens and how they plan to return principal if it takes that long.
Yes I had guessed as much, let's hope the guarantee of return holds good? Could be that any profit will be down to Bitcoin price increase rather than Mining income?
Rich
Just wanted to follow up and see how the payments for B11 are made. Is it daily mining income or do they just log it daily and pay it once a week?
My B12 just activated yesterday March 01, 2016. I thought I saw it mentioned first payment would be March 07, 2016 so I can assume it is paid out weekly. Thanks.

I have had my first payment for B11 Phase 2. They pay once a Week on a Monday the addition of the previous 7 Days income. The income for each of the Days is not shown until the end of the Week. I guess this is to allow for difficulty changes?
On B11 Daily rate at the moment is BTC0.003029
I have not yet sat down and done the maths on how long, allowing for difficulty increases, it is going to take to get the investment back?
