Title: It's (not) time for an ASIC subforum.
Post by: Garr255 on June 24, 2012, 12:46:34 AM
Let's build a +1 pyramid until they(mos) make(s) one.

Bleh, just rename the FPGA one to FPGA/ASIC.

+1

Just rename it to BFL

Just rename it to BFL
And rename the project to BFLcoin.  ;)

It'll be time for an ASIC subforum when an ASIC miner exists.  Right now we have the promise of an ASIC [with specs/prices that scream its a scam] and nothing more.

Until the first ASIC product is verified, I do not think it's a good idea to create a sub forum.


Here's a TEM image of the Ivy bridge transistors,

Though even better would be a "speculative hardware" subforum.  Anything not available for third-party verification goes there.

Hardware forum is good place for ASIC, there's no need to create next one. GPU is an ASIC so plenty topics already there (here).

+ over 9000. Which, coincidentally, is the projected hashing power (in Gh/s) of my prototype quantum computing RNFP* device powered by patented 3HWW** technology. Can't show you the details yet, but I'm happy to accept your preorders.

I think that this would be the best idea going forward.  It would really clean up a lot of the current sub-forums.  Take all the 7990 stuff, Lancelot, almost everything BFL related and shove it all there.

Most sensible idea YET.

Go for it !

Seems if ASIC is taking off with neighborhood of 40 times (according to BFL) the hashing rate of FPGA, whenever that happens, we just have more ASIC and fewer FPGA posts here.

That's what they have to be careful about, when throwing a large load of ASIC power on the market.

or we'll have BFLcoin and OpenCoin...

Yes, but it is still not a shipping product yet.

Having no proof of said hardware to be real does not make it speculation.

The claims are real, feasibility ?, development intent, real or fake can be discussed either way.

Maybe so, but it is atleast 'real' none the less....
