Is this thing even real?

Lots of glitsy web pages (interestingly all from a single source) but nothing tangible or physical available.

Looks a bit scammy to me.

95% for scam likelyhood.

-updated 11/11/24, having looked into this further and finding that all of the info available is single source. Looks like they're just scamming for pre-pay and will deliver nothing.

Bitdeer Taped Out SEAL03 Bitcoin ASIC with 10 J/TH Efficiency
21.7 EH/s of SEALMINER A1 and A2 in mass production

Bitdeer announced that it has “successfully” completed the tape-out of its third-generation Bitcoin mining chip, the SEAL03, with an expected efficiency of 10 J/TH.

In its October update released on Wednesday, Bitdeer stated that it anticipates receiving initial sample wafers of SEAL03 in the second quarter of next year. A successful tape-out of a chip is a critical step in validating its design and paving the way for production.

Additionally, Bitdeer said it has commenced the mass production of its SEALMINER A1 and A2 Bitcoin miners, which total 21.7 EH/s and are powered by its first and second-generation Bitcoin mining chips. The company expects to deliver 3.7 EH/s of the SEALMINER A1 by January 2025 for proprietary mining. Approximately 0.4 EH/s of that output is en route to Bitdeer’s mining sites in Texas and Norway for full energization by the first quarter. Currently, an additional 1.7 EH/s of the A1 miners are in the production phase.

Mass production for SEALMINER A2 has also commenced, as Bitdeer secured foundry capacity for 18 EH/s of hashrate, which will be allocated for third-party sales and proprietary mining. Last month, the company revealed the specifications of its air-cooled and hydro-cooled A2 miners, which boast hashrate capacities of 226 TH/s and 446 TH/s, respectively, both achieving an efficiency of 16.5 J/TH.
