Actually, I'm raising money for BF16 projects by whipping out some multi-chip BM1384 stuff since, at low clocks, they're still decently efficient (under 0.3J/GH, so S7-level) and easy to work with. Pods are back in the works anyway, and I'll be sending off for prototype PCBs this week. This isn't the appropriate place to discuss it, but there's updates in my 16nm dev thread and stuff in Group Buys, including a Canada GB, so if you still want to trade those S5 boards for something you should look it up.

Closer now than I ever have been, what with both sample chips and dev funding. I'll be in BF16 prototyping as soon as I get 2Pac proof sticks out in a couple days.

But yeah, it's actually been over 2 years. Novak and I first contemplated the idea when ASICMiner posted BE300 test results in December of 2014.

Glad to hear you're still working on it, then Smiley
Still been sitting on those S5 boards (one is yours) but i guess at this point they're fully obsolete. (Good space heater thought)

I'll keep the husks at the very least.

Too bad, I'd dig the 500watt form factor.

I think sidehack has wanted to do this for like, 2 years. These things never seem to come to pass.

Good to know it's not just a Cold War thing...
That was worth a chuckle.

Most likely because BTC is going up and they are mining themselves instead of selling the miners.

Sent emails through the website portals + PM'd the forum rep... no response for over a month

Maybe it's because I'm American and speak English...

we don't like ourselves that much either you know...

At the moment, I could not get more than 8.3 Th with this unit since my PSUs are not able to provide more than 13.4 V. But here are the proofs from the developers that it can do 8.8 Th.





The PSU that they were using was Meanwell RSP-1500-12.



It looks that there is another unit at the lower shelf.  Smiley

The question: where can we order them?

I thought that I have posted all necessary links here.  Wink

Here is the manufacturer: http://en.hotmine.io/x5-x6-upgrade-kit-new

Feel free to ask all your questions there. Also there's their representative here at the forum.

The 1000w PSU that I sell goes to 13V easilly, so that woud be great for the X6 (or 2x X5 upgrade kits)
