Further progress has been made by The WPC on the A1 Wasp test board...

It's ALIVE!

A note from the WPC EE:

Quote

I am blinking the lights!

So:

1. 3.3V regulator working
2. JTAG interface to UC3C working
3. Processor is initializing
4. ASF now working (took moving to Studio 6.2, since all UC3C was broken in 6.1)
5. 12MHz oscillator is working
6. Can do one LED - all 3 colors are working

Yay! (Finally!)

Alrighty then, so what is this group buy for then?

This GB (when made active) will provide the option to purchase Wasp & Hive based modular miningware on a continuous bases. The purpose is to provide a method of rapid investment into Bitcoin (and eventually Altcoin) mining by providing the shortest possible path between purchasing miningware and actually getting that miningware hashing. This thread is an informative dialogue intended to provide information about what will be provided by SWMC when the Wasp and Hive miningware is made available. This thread is also intended to gage the overall support for this model of GB, gain valuable customer opinions and provide SWMC with a better understanding of what miningware purchasers believe to be important so SWMC can address those concerns in an informative manner. This GB is (being) designed to serve YOU better than that which you are accustomed to.

In the first post they had a green dot and said "live"

I thought that might be what you were referring to, that just means that the project is in an active stage of development. It does not mean that there are working prototypes or that the product design is finished or is available. To date, the only designs that are close to being production ready are the Coindesk A1 Wasp and the Hive backplane. Below are the specifications for the A1 Wasp:

Are you selling populated or unpopulated boards?

What's the min # of chips requred to populate the board?

Primarily, we will offer populated Wasps, but offering empty boards are always possible.

The number of chips per Wasp depends on the chip being used. For Example:

Quote from: Beastlymac on January 19, 2014, 12:31:57 AM

A1 Wasp. (LIVE)

Bitmine A1 Chips Available December
240 Gh/s Overclocked (6 chips); more likely, with untested chips, 200 GH/s per board
Nominal total 2000 Gh/s, or almost 2 full backplanes (assuming that all chips are fully working AND overclockable to 40GH - not really likely, but our software can get the most possible out of them).
Nominal likely total hashing from 50 chips (and this is all that Bitmine guarantees) is 48 x 25 = 1.2 TH on 12 boards
Best case: 0.0180625 BTC Gh/s, or about $3 USD GH/s
Likely case: 0.0301 BTC/GH/s, or about $5 USD GH/s

Minion Wasp. (LIVE)

Black Arrow Minion Chips Available February
520 Gh/s Standard (4 chips)
Total 2080 Gh/s

Newb question, but it says they are live. Does that mean they are ready to purchase now or what? Also is there a link I can get more info on this? Specs are enticing xD

I am not aware of any of the WPC projects going "Live." Could you provide a link to what you are referring to?

Cool I will look forward to checking it out.
It really sounds like you are well on your way.

Does it use the same or less power as well as being less buggy?

Until the final specs are out, there is no way to know for certain. I will be working on a spreadsheet to provide a best guess estimate based on the currently advertised information from friedcat.

Small Update:

Considering changing the chip from the Coindesk A1 to the upcoming ASICMiner chip. There are issues with the A1 that will make it difficult to reach the full 40GH/s turbo performance.

Interested in this project.

Any ETA when we can see some pictures of the "Wasps" and "Hives"?

It's difficult to say, ETA is on the order of weeks, not months.
