Introductions
- New Shares on Sale
Is this to be an announcement of new shares available in the wild, or an availability to existing members? Will you be posting any details outside of the TS chat?- New Shares on Sale
All shares always internal to the WPC members only. We have an interest in looking for angel investors possibly but they would have to discuss what level of commitment they have etc and see if the WPC plans for open source are of interest to them. Or possibly those looking to fab their own board then resell. The design we have won't be ready for that until later in the year. The current design we are working on is the prototype for the allied control datatank form factor below using Hammer Spondoolies chips, the other variants are still months away using the Minion or Rockerbox chips which would be viable as a commercial product in the 2-phase cooling market niche or the Hornet, a larger board which is an air cooled variant.
If you want to discuss it a bit more with me then drop me a PM with your email address.

If we could keep this thread on topic please.

Let us get back to the WPC stuff. Let Marto have his 12 threads.
Good point! Was only trying to help arkintunde out a bit...As for WPC; you've been at it for almost half a year now, got a working miner yet?
Nothing but a testing board that is being used by the lead EE. Looking at June as I posted above for the prototype for cooling in the Data Tank mock up at Allied Control.
Nothing goes out the door unless we are sure someone can build it and get the firmware running on it and hashing away. So we are focused on that right now. The only clock / calendar we are concerned with at this point is one that gets us a system that is working and can demonstrate the fact it can be reworked for the more powerful 28nm chips and cooled effectively so that the chips don't melt themselves off the PCB. Two stages before we get something to the end users. Feel free to PM me if you want a sneak peek at our next meeting that way you can find out where we are at.

Good luck indeed... make sure you do investigate any fabricator before you use them and that goes DOUBLE for that one given the issues some people have had getting refunds and hardware at times.

Who's Marto Warts? I'm not so sure the chips are going to be the route I choose, unless I find someone willing to purchase 100 minion chips now, considering your advice, but I am still curious.
Edit: A bit of searching and I think I found who you mean

.I know they offer assembling chips on miners... Good luck!

You have been duly warned. Go ask Joeventura, Ben Turas and Darkfriend77 about what they had to go through with them.

this a pretty lame tactic to even get the refund delayed more ... in the hope it gets shipped ...
we allready had more then 50% of chip amounts from users of GB1 voting for a refund ...
sad that your are acting ... like that ... there where some good examples ...
from zefir, sebastianJu & bizwoo ... how to organize ... a gb refund ... you show us that ...
it can be done the otherway ...
When are you going to pay what you owe Marto74?

Seriously eh? They now sell the SP 30's for $1/GH
You can get an SP10 1.4 Th/s for just under $2 gh/s shipped today I think but go check.
I got 2 x SP30 or 12 Th/s for $0.69 gh/s free delivery for August well under $1 for the chips today. Even with chips in hand not sure I could beat $2 a board. Things need to be ramped up on a huge scale to get that sort price per unit.
The trend is down. Way down.
The SpondooliesTech are using a different pricing model I think on the chips. Instead of frontloading the costs they are spreading it out over a longer term meaning their chips are already going to be sub $1 at the 28nm possibly for sale but definitely set in the miners.

Delivery in August. The price of what you have and what you're going to have is separated by light years in this business. If it comes to unit cost AM should be able to do well with the low cost of 40nm process node until power requirements become the predominant factor.

Regarding near term and further out roadmap, did the AM BE200 design fall off the map? Looks like AM will have the most affordable pricing per GH on their chips in the near term so I would definitely be interested in hardware that supports their chips.
AM BE200 is in there. I should edit that.
Would be 3rd in the pipeline. Likely an air cooled Hornet. Yes definitely AM is an excellent option price wise. Unfortunately we will have to sell a few shares before we can push too much beyond the spondoolies as we have budgeted only up to the Hammer chips we received last week. But ya if people are still doing the DIY thing the AM I would agree is an excellent choice but you know the drop in prices between bitmain and spondoolies for full miners makes me wonder how low things will go chip wise.

It's already out and for sale through some less than trustworthy channels. As low as 1$/GH in bulk, $1.4 - $1.5GH in smaller numbers.
