The hashlets are probably backed by the vaultbreakers assuming they are real.
Do you have any IT, programming, hardware knowledge/experience at all? Have you run hardware miners yourself? Have you built/repaired pcs/laptops from scratch? Did you read my entire post? There is plenty of gaw hardware in the wild, again, I am running 2 at the moment while sorting out an rma issue on the third. Considering the money they likely made on their first generation of mining hardware I find it difficult to dismiss the vaultbreaker as a phantom. I also find it curious that they only offered 2 batches of vaultbreakers. Its likely that the whole "prime" thing evolved sometime during the design of the vaultbreakers as a way to take things to a new level.
I am amazed how GAW managed to brainwash you. With all those experiences, your conclusion is that 750MH vaultbreaker is real??
" There is plenty of gaw hardware in the wild" No, there is none! Those GAW branded miners are all ZEUS. GAW cannot even make a single miner, not to mention ASIC chips.
I don't care how many PCs you have repaired, nor how many miners have GAW sold, making an ASIC chip (way better than any of those existing miners even the 28nm A2 chips) is not easy.
As I said earlier, it is difficult, expensive and time consuming.
where can they actually make the chip? 20nm TSMC? 14nm SAMSUNG? or GLOBALFOUNDRIES? They all have different issues, especially low capacity.
You already noticed GAW don't want to talk about the vaultbreaker any more. Why?
s1gs3gv is this you???
After the thousands of words I have posted on this subject you honestly think I am brainwashed? Its clear you have no clue just how many design and fabrication houses there are worldwide. You obviously also have no clue about this subject
Do I need to do your homework for you and find a list of chip design firms?
Here you go
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_integrated_circuit_manufacturershttp://electroiq.com/blog/2012/04/top-25-fabless-ic-companies-in-2011/http://www.boogar.com/resources/electronics/fabless_manufacturing.htmIt is indeed expensive and involved to design and produce a chip, but for crypto and to make a tidy profit you don't have to be producing as many chips as intel/ibm/samsung/etc.
Sorry, I am not s1gs3gv nor MemCiD. But I think we all want to expose GAW and stop their scam.
I have done my homework, not via google but via doing real business.
You may have setup a few miners, but that does not make you an expert in this industry. We have tens of thousands of miners. We are in partnership with all scrypt ASIC manufacturers (those real ones, with real chips, not just on paper) and some SHA256 ASIC manufacturers. Some of them invited us to co-invest in their next generation of chips. So I think I can say that we do know slightly more that the wiki page you found.
There is no vaultbreaker, not even a prototype. And GAW is not capable of delivering ASIC chips (at least not 20/16/14nm chip, not this year).
Its quite possible that the vaultbreakers don't exist yet, BUT, as I have posted before its also possible that the hashlets are a presale so he can fund the hardware that he wants for the prime.
I will repeat, I have a hard time agreeing that the vaultbreakers were a phantom product. There is plenty of gaw branded hardware in the wild, ebay. craigslist, cryptothrift, etc. They all but stopped selling hardware, so its possible that they did this so they could use the hardware they had in stock for this project prime.
As I have said before, my issue is not with whether or not there is hardware, its the lack of poignant and coherent responses to questions I would ask someone running a lemonade stand.
GAW branded hardware are all from Zeus. GAW does not even have a factory to make PCB. Zeus made those miners for GAW. However, Josh is not an honest business person, he made promises to Zeus, Innosilicon & Gridseed. They trusted Josh, but then Josh cheated all of them. The relationship went sour.
GAW have not purchased any hardware from any of those ASIC miner manufacturers for some time, including Zeus. That's why GAW no longer sale hardware.
Also, as I said earlier. Even if you add all the miners GAW has bought from those manufacturers together, it's far far less than 230GH/s. If they did sale over $10M worth of hardware miners per month as Josh claimed, they will not have any miners remaining for their own "datacenter"
I am telling you these inside information because I really want to stop their scam so that honest players (real miners, real pools, real farms, real manufactureres) in this market can still survive.
