Please listen to it if you can. What do you think about it?

What is most fascinating about this is the selling and leasing drone airspace for bitcoin that is going to be managed by these smart devices.

How can I obtaine shares of 21 inc ? thank you

Unfortunately you can't, but there is an alternative that will yield similar results.

Just make sure your money is in cash form, find the nearest toilet, insert money, and flush.

This is not a bitcoin IPO so please don't compare it to one

Are there any numbers? Like, "We expect to produce and deploy N zillion chips in the next 5 years, which will increase the total world's hashpower to P mongohashes per second, so that your toaster will mine K thousand BTC every morning, unless you would rather have light toast."

For the curious, the 21 Inc website has been updated:

In regards to intel possibly making mining ASIC's.....
Did anyone else notice that the new "Skylake" x86 uarch has an instruction set extension specifically for SHA1 & SHA2(256)
I think thats quite interesting....

those asic will be able to compete with current generation? i could see them great in efficiency, because they will be based on the future architetture with better nm

Can someone bring me up to speed on this 21 inc? I have apparently missed everything about it.

And it seems like they're only giving their blood sucking chips for free to manufacturers of products, so consumers don't actually get any discount off the item; they simply don't have to pay extra to serve 21 inc and give them free money.

21 Inc, formerly 21e6, was a secretive hardware/mining op that more recently has gone slightly more public mostly announcing getting a bunch of funds for 'something'. Nobody except 21, investors, and a few other people (including on this forum) knows what that 'something' would be, but that won't stop people from speculating about miner-toasters Wink

That's the tl;dr - set aside an hour or so of reading for details.

the fact they made part of a circuit dedicated to SHA hashing ... easily translates into making an ASIC w/ just a huge array of these little circuits, much like how modern ASICs stemmed from previously designed hardware hashing circuit designs and someone was just like ... "well put a shit load of these little things in parallel, drive up the clock speed and ya have a decent mining ASIC" ... AFAIK

It would be easier for them to have developed a Bitcoin mining ASIC directly - integrating the required gates for two stages into a CPU design is a somewhat more difficult task, and yanking them out of that design and then into an efficient dedicated chip that performs the hashing rounds required for mining doesn't make much sense - if that were a goal. But sure, Intel + dedicated hashing instruction = squee.

A Great Time to Start Something!

116 million in venture capital, wow this project has cash to spend and people talking up a big buzz.
Let's hope they can do something worthwhile with this unique opportunity.

quite interesting, but ultimately not so much for cryptocurrency mining;
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/36253/what-mining-performance-can-we-roughly-expect-from-the-intel-sha-extensions-of-t

Slightly more useful for hashing large sets of data and/or bitesized data where you do actually need the hashed output (remember, ASICs don't return the hash)

Well, its not so much a point of mining w/ the CPU ... but the fact they made part of a circuit dedicated to SHA hashing ... easily translates into making an ASIC w/ just a huge array of these little circuits, much like how modern ASICs stemmed from previously designed hardware hashing circuit designs and someone was just like ...

I didnt find it in this thread...

It's 8 posts up

Do keep in mind that that article is based on an older document - but it's a wee bit more realistic than Alphaville's conjecture.
