LOL their image of the "ASIC" is a Cooler Master

http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=10020

Next time, copy & paste the image URL into Google image search and see what comes up.

Why would they need one of those for an ASIC.

Edit: Also their dimensions are off and they say their ASIC only weighs 4kg while the case alone weighs ~8kg.

They have to put it in something. Nothing wrong with using an existing case for a product. It clearly says the cooler master logo on the front of it...

Worst reply ever haha.

The case is totally fine it fits 2 full size GPUs in it. But the mathematics still do not work out with output vs power usage vs required memory

So why are their dimensions and weight off by so much? Roll Eyes

I can't expect an 8kg case to suddenly go down to 4kg after installing the boards + psu, even if they remove some of the crap inside.

Well, lets go down the list shall we-

CEO not revealing who he actually is, or who the team is: Check
Half-assed website: Check
Outrageous performance claims with zero evidence or screenshots: Check
Claims to have hardware but provides zero evidence or photos: Check
Stock photo of a PC case as a product image: Check
ID protection on domain: Check

The only thing that says "wishful thinking" more than scam to me is the fact they at least have no buy button on there yet.

That aside Scrypt ASIC, like any ASIC, requires a lot of R&D capital, I just can't see it being viable yet with Litecoin's current valuation. And given Scrypt ASICs would not give nearly the performance gains like SHA coins did, they may not be much better than FPGAs for price/performance.

Looks plenty scammy but is so far harmless until they start accepting orders

No need for Google if the logo on the case says Cooler Master.
But why would that imply a scam?

Don't get me wrong, this is a scam, but I don't see what that has to do with using Cooler Master cases?

edit: ok the weight/dimensions

Plus, who in their right mind would use that case when designing an ASIC?

The layout just isn't made for that; there are much better cases out there for boards.

And if they have the time/resources to make a Scrypt ASIC, they definitely would have time to design their own case.

That is the hash rate of around 77 7950 GPUs clocked at 650Kh/s.
Something comparative to 230GB of GDDR5.
It would require 25,000 Watts (at least) to run a 7950-based comparative rig.

These numbers seem way too far off to be legitimate for a memory intensive algorithm.

500 Watt PSU pushing 50,000 Kh/s avg.

Feasibility of this?
