Just to be totally clear, you are saying that, at this point in time, there are no machines anywhere hashing with your new chip? I can't help noticing that your share of total hash power increased sharply recently too. That is correct. We have just a handful of chips right now and all are used for R&D and profiling including occasional rapid unscheduled disassembly (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/16/elon-musk-falcon-9-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly) as we look for the limits of the chip ;) . We are expecting the engineering lots in a few weeks time. Luckily our schedule was not affected by the recent Taiwan earthquake (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/08/taiwan-earthquake-death-toll-likely-to-exceed-100). Our total hash power has increased due to our Gldani immersion cooling datacenter (https://youtu.be/skdYwEciuBU?t=52s) getting to full capacity. So my information was correct 6 pages ago that you do not have a reference board built yet. ;) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1291890.msg13810862#msg13810862 I would think not having the engineering samples "for a few weeks" that an end of March product release for home miners is an aggressive (and likely impossible) task. Having said that, I think if you haven't ran a full batch of chips then you are expecting everything to go without a hitch with Batch 1 chips. I think that is also a very ambitious expectation for a new 16nm chip. I am going to go out on a limb and say end of April or beginning of May is a better bet. Will you take 1 BTC bet? :) Not sure what we are betting on but I will definitely take the bet- So I will order 50Th-100Th the first day the miners are announced, if they arrive to me before April 1 I will pay you 1 BTC but if they do not then you send me 1 BTC. How does that sound? Deal! |
