I'm interested in the minion based ones, and if you have it in your pipeline, anything scrypt (like the new gridseed chips.) And of course, I'm willing to do an Asian based group buy.
nice, where can i donate?
Nope, no donations required as we are covering the costs of our all projects internally. You can purchase miners to support us when fabricators take our designs and build them.

We have locked the other threads and will be focusing our information here until we have data to share from the prototype front. While Beastly has a much deserved vacation we will continue communications for him here and we will have a website to feed the community prototype updates when and as soon as they are available. Beastly will resume the communication role in 2 weeks time. Have a great Vaca Beastly!
for updating with more information.
To start off with I am happy to announce that dzarmush is the winner of the logo design contest. His entry can be found here. For that he wins FREE entry to the collective and one FREE share valued at $350 all up.
Introduction
The WASP miner collective (WPC) is working on designing open source hardware that can be used to run multiple different asic chips off the same device. The wasp collective strive to provide high quality design that can be adapted to any asic chip that comes out. We aim to provide a great service and a great product for the community.
The Wasp Project is an open membership collective and we are committed to Open Source Hardware and Software and we are very interested in working with chip fabricators, diy'ers / hobbyists as well as miners looking to upgrade their "ageing" and "inefficient" systems.
What are wasps and hives
The Hives (Mother Planes)
Quote
* On board USB hub with a port for each blade. Upstream port connects to linux board or box. At least one extra port for potential billboard display or local display & cooling-controller.
* On board 24-pin and 6/8 pin connectors for PC power supply (650-750W) provides 3.3, 5, and 12 V.
* Last blade connector can accept a server power supply (12V only) for higher power operation, not needed when system is tuned for low-power consumption, or when it has fewer than a full load of blades.
* 8 available connection points for the Wasps.
* Any Wasp no matter the type of the chip will work with the Hives.
* All blades driven through USB hub.
* Stand-alone hive is just a small card with sockets for power and USB.
* Hot swap.
* Linux embedded system to run cgminer/bfgminer bolts right down onto big mobo.
The Wasps (Blades)
* Wasps can slot into mother plane.
* Wasps can stand alone and be stacked FPGA style.
* Wasps are made to fit the Hive form factor.
* Wasps can be independently powered and controlled without mother plane.
* On board 24-pin and 6/8 pin connectors for PC power supply (650-750W) provides 3.3, 5, and 12 V.

Currently being worked on
The Hives (Mother Planes)
- On board USB hub with a port for each blade. Upstream port connects to linux board or box. At least one extra port for potential billboard display or local display & cooling-controller.
- On board 24-pin and 6/8 pin connectors for PC power supply (650-750W) provides 3.3, 5, and 12 V.
- Last blade connector can accept a server power supply (12V only) for higher power operation, not needed when system is tuned for low-power consumption, or when it has fewer than a full load of blades.
- 8 available connection points for the Wasps.
- Any Wasp no matter the type of the chip will work with the Hives.
- All blades driven through USB hub.
- Stand-alone hive is just a small card with sockets for power and USB.
- Hot swap will be added in 2nd or 3rd iteration of the hive.
- Linux embedded system to run cgminer/bfgminer bolts right down onto big mobo.
The Wasps (Blades)
- Wasps can slot into mother plane.
- Wasps can stand alone and be stacked FPGA style.
- Wasps are made to fit the mother plane form factor.
- Wasps can be independently powered and controlled without mother plane.
- +55nm Prototypes
55nm Prototypes
Avalon V2 Wasp (LIVE)
(55nm)
- Avalon Gen 2 Chips Available
- up to 1.6 GH/s per chip
- Bitfury wasp board should require little re-engineering for this
BitFury Wasp (LIVE)
(55nm)
- BitFury Chips Available end of December
- 40 Gh/s (16 chips)
28nm Production
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
What can be expected for wasp blades?
