Title: BitFury Asics?
Post by: jstefanop on April 24, 2015, 06:10:30 PM
I see bitfury just finished their 28nm chips, but there is no talk about miners or selling miners. Are they another KNC type where they no longer sell miners directly?

No!  They are the first original bastards to make that statement.  Shame on you Bitfury.  I believe they still sell to large farms though.

If you believe Bitfury, it seems like we can thank the countless noobs trying to mine in 2013-2014 who had no business doing so for their decision.

AFAIK bitfury is at the limits of funding - have heard little or nothing about their franchising over the last few months. I think their 28nm chip is not ready (by delay or failure?)

Bitfury is not going to be for individuals.  They have been for big operations.  I don't see this changing.

I don't see individual's owning them at this point with their new gear.   Some do have some of their old stuff. 

It is actually good for the small mine the longer next gen takes.  The longer it takes means our older gear can keep running.
