Title: 28nm ASIC technology
Post by: CanOpener on August 15, 2013, 04:20:57 AM
Does anyone have an opinion on 28nm ASIC chips? In particular, has anyone heard of HashFast's chip or Uniquify that they are working with?

Thanks.

For background context, I am trying to do due diligence on this:

I just found this via Google:

Seems like they are the real deal.

I have posted my quick analysis on the IceDrill IPO and it actually looks very attractive for some great tech.

The shareholders getting paid 0.0016/share before private investors effectively acts as a thick credit enhancement on a CDO, right? Sorry, I am just trying to wrap my head around whether this is a good investment or not.

Sorry for my bad math. If private shares is 30% , you are somewhat getting something like extra protection with 7:3 ratio (ie. for every public share, you get extra ~0.43 share that helps to pay your principal back). then instead of buying at 0.0016, it's more like 0.0016/1.43 (initially before private investors get paid). that's close to 0.0012/share? that sounds like a steal to me. or am I smoking crack?

i don't think Icedrill has miners protection program (since it was not stated anywhere) but I think this 'credit enhancement" is way better than miners protection program. What's the point of hosting more hardware if hosting cost would not operationally break even?

Anyone has comments?

28nm is the best technology available? I know there is a practical limit of how small this can go. I wish i had paid more attention during my classes haha
