Recent GAW announcements:
- the Vaultbreaker aka Titan Killer 750 MH/s Scrypt ASIC batch 1 will be hosted soon-ish (?) on ZenCloud, including the ones purchased for shipping. It will not be able to use The Most Profitable Pool In The World (ZenPool) but will keep it's original hosting cost ($3.67 per day).
- alternatively said Vaultbreaker can be converted to Hashlets. This option will allow to use ZenPool, but will incur the Hashlet maintenance fee ($60 per day), which is significantly higher than Vaulbreaker's fee.
- same options are available to Vaultbreaker mini (375 MH/s) batch 1, but do not apply to VB / VB mini batch 2. Batch 2 options will be announced later.
- Hashlet price will be increased "tomorrow", not sure if that means Sunday or Monday. The new price is not known yet.
Other observations:
In the announcements GAW CEO mentioned "A2" and "proprietary Hashlet hardware" but did not mention Zeus hardware seen in the warehouse pictures.
ZenPool has grown by another 50 GH/s in the last few hours -
http://i.snag.gy/nZHoz.jpgYou are right, that is a warehouse, not a real mining farm and those are Zeus chip based miners, not 28nm A2. In the other photo they showed long time ago (the tiny basement mining farm), there were some A2 miners. But GAW has not ordered from Innosilicon for a long time (nor Gridseed, nor Zeus).
Where did you see this "tiny basement farm". Pics please.
They have 3 data centers and no basement farm as far as I know.
Well, you have seen the photos in this thread. With less than 50 working A2 miners, that's tiny to me. Far from the 236GHs they claim.
Don't call them data centers, those are not.
GAW was a Zeus reseller, I am not surprised to see a warehouse photo. And even that's several months ago.
They didn't really deploy Zeus as they know the power efficiency is better with A2.
We have mining farms, believe me, I know what a mining farm should look like.
As you can tell from our website. We are not afraid of speaking up. We do not want people like GAW to damage the reputation of real hashing power providers.
Not only scammer will damage trusts between people in this industry, but also they do have a strong incentive to depress Altcoins. (Why didn't they pay you altcoins directly? think about that.)
50 A2 is not a data center and can't be called a farm, it's just a small operation anybody can have in their basement
Let's not forget guys, all of us tiny farmers have a dedicated power transformer in our back yard. Nothing to see here, move on.
Sorry, but I do not understand your way of sarcasm. That GAW photo did show a small transformer and is a very small operation. They claim they have 235GHs, remember?
Since there are a few members here think I might be bluffing, I have asked our colleague to take a photo of our mining farm.
Please note, we are far far far smaller than 236GHs.

Josh, this is the real way of running a mining farm, with power and network connected and full of noise and dust.
GAW, STOP SCAMMING people.
