Let me know when these become available whole reason I've never bought any hardware miners is they are way too prohibitively expensive. At least with a GPU I can use it for gamine when I want and mine while at work.

Don't believe everything you read  Wink Bitcoin ASICs are marketing vaporware.
I doubt they will exist at all in a way that threatens the latest FPGAs,
at least not for the next 9 months or so.

This thread is not dead. It's just been hibernating.  Grin

I am very happy to announce I've been working on a full-custom ASIC project for the past 6 months.
We're estimating 1,000TH/s for around $0.14 (intro pricing), using about 20W, shipping in 4-6 weeks.
The HW/SW for that is still Top Secret, but, I do have some new PCB porn to share with you guys.
Here's the latest single-FPGA carrier, pasted and populated, but not yet skillet reflowed:

Is that a typo (1000TH/s)? I would assume yes and that you meant to say 1000 MH/s.

So that's $0.14 per Megahash? If so that would be ridiculously cool and I would love to be your first customer/beta tester, slave, lol, etc  Grin

Can we expect that you'll release this before BFL comes out with their ASIC miner?



It's not a real product. It's a picture taken from the OP in this thread.

You can buy second hand fpga units for less than $1/MH.

I got my icarus boards for $0.78/MH

Bump

Why are you bumping a thread that's already in the top 5 on the page?

Hum, sorry, "bump" wasn't the right word...
I wanted to folow...  Embarrassed

Okay so it is veiled...

Can you not see the obvious ( and famous ) 4-6 weeks line ?

Looks more like 4-6 years for real BFL product shots.

Fixed that for you... FPGA guys have nothing to worry about Smiley

Too bad it kill all the FPGA guys like rph ...

What is that thing anyway? It looks like an FPGA carrier board (the markings even say FPGA) but I'm not sure which one. Is it custom?

NVM, read the OP this time.

Hello, I am stunned by the announcement.

Don't be stunned.  The "1,000TH/s for around $0.14 (intro pricing), using about 20W" is a veiled jab at BFL.

Hello, I am stunned by the announcement.
Calculate how long now to be operational the first prototype and chopped off at the benefits of our current FPGAs?

Dibs on the first unit. I'll even prepay while you finish developing it.

To the OP: kudos on making the skillet work!  My first attempt at reflow soldering a QFP in a toaster oven ended up looking an awful lot like this...

Did you try adjusting the rheostat from the 'darker' to a 'lighter' toast setting on a subsequent attempt?
