Hmm, might this explain my donated old Ant45s7b6 briefly showing up on Kano last night? Someone fiddling with it and a PIC programmer?  |

Hi, 1st time poster, long time lurker for kano (2 months  ). Just saw the kanobtc twitter page and saw only a few members there. Love the community here in bitcointalk but just wondering why only 16 active in twitter...  I hope we can all be active there and share tweets from the pool, especially the 10 BTC promo to spread the word so we can increase the pool's hash rate.. that twitter account is less than a week old that's the reason. and so is the Facebook page and group. Also so few because many like me could care less about 'share your thought of the moment' social media such as Twitter, snapchat, Facebook etc. |

Well thank you for providing a better PR link on the company. p.8 lists patents involved.. In your extrapolation of what the tech is and think it may offer to crypto mining you neglect to pay attention to one very salient point that is common to all of the Patents and the PR link info. Namely this: It is targeting applications that are inherently LOW POWER applications to begin with. eg. ones that generate little heat such as displays and NV memory on materials - even low conductivity ones like plastics - that given the very low power dissipation to begin with still offer enough thermal coupling to local ambient temps to not be too concerned with the shifting switching thresholds that come into play as semiconductor junctions vary in temp. That does not translate into any device that is going to be dissipating more than around a few milliwatts/cm 2 unless very significant thermal path is provided to remove that heat, even then the die temp rise is going to be very significant. For reason explained earlier in the thread, at best only by keeping the device at a fairly narrow stabilized temp range can it work at all. |

* kano biffs Biffa (with some BTC) Many thanks And wooo my 11th block here! (last one was in July last year) Congrats on the block! Now maybe with the 2 new A821's I brought online bringing the farm to >280THs it will soon be my turn to crack another although my crystal ball seems -- Fuzzy  Mine ON!  |

Yep, Fanatic got it right. The process is called 'binning' and is the exact same thing done by Intel, AMD, etc with their CPU's. The chips for any given family are tested as they come off of the the production line and depending on how well they perform are assigned a speed rating, sometime locked, sometimes unlocked for those who want to play.

Does it help if I say these are real? I can't speak for their production targets times costs etc. but they do hash uniquely different and I've helped work with them remotely.
Yes, it does help as you are the 1st from here with rep and technical chops to say that. As I've been leaning towards, the biggest question now is more along the line of will they ship on time or put their pre-order Investomers through a BFL/Bitmine.ch/AMT 'just a few more tweaks...' hell of endless delays. |

You still thinking of doing that S1/3 upgrade kit?
@ Sidehack: and still have that heap of old s1's I sent ya long ago? Would be good for folks wanting a ready-to run solution. |

Excellent review!
Got notice yesterday from Blokforge my 2x 821's are on their way via FedEx, should arrive next Tues. Good timing on that as 1 of my old s9's (b3) decided to go off line for a few hours today...

Packing those miners without a control board seems fishy as hell, and only reason I can think of is that because I've revealed that it is a Innosilicon hardware.
Along the Halong mystery miner line, remember these pictures of AMT's miners supposedly being made that were posted by Josh from AMT? Pics of the boards and such were taken at IMET, the PCB assembly house AMT contracted with. And for the record: The majority of boards produced there either failed to power up at all or died within 1 month of running. Starts at the above and goes down several more. Those are far more credible 'proof' than what Halong has been providing. Hell, AMT even pulled out the pics of Antec cases they tried using in the beginning |

Only issue I had is that I found another one of my old uv/uc s7's hiding in a corner (thought I had sent them all to Sidehack...) and when I brought it online it had immediately failed over to my #3 pool which was the de node. Now all 3 are showing alive so it's working off of the nya node. Another 3.2THs on the pool w00t!

but they got $200 million in ICO/presales... seems some peuple believe in then and their new miner tech?
That is why P.T. Barnum long ago said 'There's a sucker born every minute'. Over all it is estimated that over 80% of un-regulated ICO/Token/ sales turn out to be Ponzies or other outright scams. |

This also applies to mixing A721 and 741's on 1 RiPi. To be specific, the A7/A8 on one controller caveat is to not flash the MM firmware (inside the miner on daughterboard) with both A7/A8 on 1 controller as it is applied to all miners at the same time. Only other thing to remember is that if you play withe voltage offset option, again, it will apply to all miners.
Sooo, just get a RiPi-3 from Amazon or whoever for $30-40, a nice case for it and flash the SD card with the latest controller firmware (which is really software....) from Canaan .

If you are wrong, you should say sorry to Halong Wink
No. Halong must blame ONLY themselves for the crap they are having being flung at them. They are the ones who chose to follow and furthermore continue to follow the Scamming for Dummies (TM) playbook for their marketing. So much they could easily do to undeniably show the world they have a miner and are capable of producing it in quantity and yet Halong is either incapable of doing that because the miner has not been able to move from prototypes/pre-production runs or for totally inexplicable reasons still just refuse to. Either way, Halong is getting exactly what they deserve here. |

<snip> 4876 people trying to simultaneously buy less than 200 units. cart just has problems on the last few, its millliseconds between stock removal and addition for the last few. It is not that it is getting pulled from your cart, the front end caching is not caught up with the backend and it was not available to begin with. If you can replicate a way to have 4000 people checkout at the same time on three different browsers, send us a resume. But for the few that emailed us saying they had problems and didnt tell us to eat a d**k we took care of them. Actually there are several companies that can do order systems front and back-end stress-testing on any scale you need. On larger scales the likes of Amazon and CC companies et al, yes that is done in-house. A friend of mine with Phd in CS used to head AMEX's on-line services QA lab in Miami where they routinely simulated 10's of thousands of simultaneous customer sessions using every imaginable browser & OS configurations to verify the on-line sessions worked before taking changes live. |

Still just pie-in-the-sky PR to raise monies via their token sales. Some recent insight re: 10nm and lower nodes. Pay attention to the parts about the cost and number of masks/steps needed when using non-EUV light sources. Current node size points and costs*can* 7nm be done without EUV? A very cautious 'yes' if cost and production rates are no object but it will NOT be happening in this year before Q4. Otherwise 2019 is still a very safe guesstimate before any production-ready processes are starting up assuming the remaining hurdles to the EUV sources can be solved. |

Lord that layout reminds me soooo much of the disastrous layout that Bitmine.ch/AMT used on their failed A1 miner. Why the frek so many bucks being used? No bypass caps seen near the chips, etc...

digging this thread, what would be the most cost efficient way of buying T/H? Lets all go in together and start a cloud mining site! I can raise some funds!
a. Cloudmining discussions are verboten in this area and thread b. Cloudmining in general sucks the sweat off of a hogs balls because a good part of the income goes to the operators and NOT the miners |

ROLF... 100k chips is NOT a 'huge order'. Certainly sizeable for need-it-now order with pricing to go with it but the systems my company make can each process interposers (fanouts for die to packaging connections) to make 3x that many chips in a week... Consider that using say 149 chips/miner 100k chips equates to only 671.1409395973 miners
