All I see here
in these pictures (both) are a single faced PCB, with no visible core vias, a grid of chip pads and what seems to be a bigger SMD pad like a capacitor or resistor. Only the SMD component seems to have visible vias which go and fill completely the connection pads at the end of the board. So
the chip pads don't seem to connect to anything, and
there is only one side shown in both pictures.
It is also quite fascinating to see such simple boards where
all the connection pins are routed to a single SMD component, WHICH is not actually connected on the other side to anything else. Without seeing the other side, I assume they wanted this to fool people into thinking they have some kind of pluggable/multiplex design (with a connector raised so high and needing manual soldering on each pad for power), but
where is the grounding and the logic connector? Sure, it makes sense to have separate power lines and power wires for each chip, as each one could usemaybe tens of watts of power and you need those amps to flow.
What about those bulky chips? How do they dissipate tens of watts of power that require individual power lines? Why are they so simple? Why do they have so little pins? Where the hell are the 128 pins from the image posted on the first post?
What you see in that picture is the equivalent of a stack of left side tires and several engine cylinders being presented as a state of the art automobile! Am I missing something? Are you guys still believing this crap forgery represents actual chips capable of "4.7 GH/s @ 12.8W"?
Well, now you admit that the hardware exists, we can progress.
They have chips and boards.
I have no idea if they can be assembled into a working miner because they have not done so.
So no, I don't know if the hardware is legit.
Thanks for reminding me of the possibility they aren't.
Apparently it worked for these two guys...
