I find it odd that not much info has come out, and its been around 24hrs now.. is their a moratorium on info till x date Smiley

There's just not much info to tell.

  • Are ORSoC part of KnCMiner? Yes they are.
  • Is ORSoC a legit company? Yes it is.
  • Is ORSoC's area of expertise desgning FPGAs, ASICs and embedded systems? Yes it is.
  • Is there a working FPGA prototype hashing at 6.2GH/s? Yes there is.
  • Is there an ASIC prototype? No there isn't.
  • What's the plan? To make the ASIC from the FPGA, order the chips with preorder money, and send them directly to assembly.
  • Are there any gerbers for the ASIC PCB's, etc. that can be showed to us? No, they say they ASIC PCBs will be just based on the FPGA PCBs.
  • Is this feasible? Mmmm, yeah, why not. That was BFL's plan too - right?
  • Is this extremely expensive, knowing they are planning to do 28nm? Yes it is. VERY expensive.
  • Is this project at least x10 bigger in terms of revenue streams, etc. compared to anything else ORSoC has done before? Yes it is. It's a huge project for a tiny company.

Guys, we knew that before the Open Day. Honestly, there's not much more to be said. You want to know if they are legit? Yes, they are, as legit as BFL was. Will they succeed? Don't know, but they seem to have the appropriate skills. Would they be able to deliver in the promised timeframe? Nobody knows. We just know that everybody else (included Avalon) missed the deadlines.

Summing up: this is a gamble, boys, and the odds to win this gamble are the same that you had before the Open Day.

FULL STOP.


Lumping a 10+ year old company with expertise in the field, with Avalon an Asian in a basement, and BFL is a very retarded statement to make. These guys have the best chance of succeeding and are far above Shitalon and BFScam.

They have a TON of questions to type up. They already stated some things earlier in the thread.

Looking forward to reports from the Openday on Monday the 10th of June. Who is going to be there?

us, if we keep missing our flights  Roll Eyes

"They are lost, Sweden has them now"

So, I guess we need a new team for next Open Day  Tongue
I am interested in any new information or details. I am in the process of handling a group buy for either 1 Saturn or 1 Jupiter batch 1-500 preorder. Please post details if you are a forum member that attends the next upcoming Openday event on June 10th.

Yea we are waiting for some exciting news from those at the Open Day Wink

They are in drunken orgy or already slaughtered.

What do you mean "or"? Why can't it be both?

In my experience, it usually is.

They could be fattened with top cuisine for several days then transferred to a secret temple then conducted ancient sacrificial ritual. Their time is limited!

we are working on the feedback. 4 of the people attended may, in order to not be redundant and to avoid confusion about slightly different answers, try to work out the answers together. it was more than 2 hours of questions and answers.

Would be interesting to get a feedback...

But in any case, not sure KnC is worth the investment... I'm not sure any of the ASIC at the moment are worth it actually...

A lot, lot, lot of speculation is happening and people are getting crazy to get their miners.

I would bet that by then end of the year the chinese people will have some chips that will cost 3 times less and will allow for the same investment to create mega-miners...
