Any updates?

Long story short, they sold out their current wafer run before I could ink a deal. I gave the chips to another prominent hardware dev on here Grin

Hopefully something can materialize from this chip for their next batch. Meanwhile I will hopefully have something fun on the scrypt side of things with the new A4.

Great news, nice one!

he still under NDA I'm sure why we haven't heard anything or BW thinks it's not worth to them to do what he wants to do and he may not want to give us the bad news .!!!! I'm not counting on it anymore from any of the chip makers i going nothing but GPU miners there cheaper much easier to set up or scrpt miners and I'm making a few bucks or all most as much i was when the S5 came out but will keep hoping they sell home miners again one day that are new and not old stuff when the new stuff comes out.

Nice initiative, do you guys have plans for heatsinks to passively cool these underclocked?

Is glad to see things like this on the forum, small home players making new things hand-made, not another chinese company doing the same power-hungry box with fans again and again. Will keep an eye on here.

Well,keep an eye on it if ya want to,but no one is going to get a decent amount of chips to make enough for sales to the public ever happen Roll Eyes

Anyone hear about this? http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-mining-asic-acquired-avalon/

Wonder if anything will change?

Well this won't matter to this thread, his chips are from BW not avalon. So he should still have a supply of chips to buy.

That's a shame to and will probable end up like KNC filing bankrupt because they got to dam greedy and want it all ...

well any way i hope bitmain and BW both remain how they are and hope Jat can get a good supply of chips for some time to come .

More than likely Avalon will not be selling any more miners,just self mining ala KnC Roll Eyes

sorry was away for the weekend...and yes I am under NDA so I can't say much other than what is publicly available. Chips are indeed BW's latest 1402 14nm. About 50 GH a chip @ .1 w/gh.

OK, I missed the mention of about 50GH per chip.

NDA probably says he can't get too specific with the hash rate, but one would imagine that BW has stated that at some specified voltage and some specified clock rate the chip can produce 50 GH/s. Now, if you want to play games with voltage levels and clock rates you might be able to achieve a higher/lower hash rate and change efficiency in terms of J/GH.

It could be like sidehack's Compac miner. You want to run at 150MHz clock, then the "stock" voltage is OK, and you get 7 GH/s - 8 GH/s. You want to run like a demon at 450MHz? Crank the core voltage up to 0.800v, slap on some monster coolers and you can hash get 20+ GH/s. All from the same BM1384 chip.

Cheers,

Assumed?

OK, I missed the mention of about 50GH per chip. If the part comes in at 55 GH, will they ship you fewer parts? What if you ordered enough other parts to build 10,000 stick miners, and they ship you 9200 chips? When you buy resistors to put on the your boards, do you order OHMS? How about LED's, do you order lumens? Maybe they should have just specified the weight of all those parts (MOQ 250 lbs).

I'll bet that when a contract for actually sending parts is signed, there is a part count specified.

I just thinks it's silly to specify a quantity (i.e. a count) in terms of some other derived equivalent. It was probably done to try and hide, for a while, the $$/chip. In the end though, you figure that out in terms of how you price the hardware you sell.

Enough of my rant..........

Is that chip efficiency, or final miner efficiency?
If it's chip it's .... nice but not impressive, bit worse than the S9 and about mid-range IIRC on the Bitfury chip.
If it's miner.... that's VERY nice.

Well if MOQ is really for 1Ph then its really cool, not like bitfury's $1m for 11ph woth of chips.

That's only 20K chips, actually not too bad. Probably under $200K, hopefully closer to $100K.

I find it a bit amusing that a MOQ would be something other than a part count (i.e. the Quantity part of MOQ). Stating it in terms of dollars, or hashrate, or some other item which is actually DERIVED from a quantity value just seems goofy (and confusing). Maybe this is by design?

For this example, I am guessing that sidehack assumed a 50GH/chip hashrate?
