Look at 24H, 1W and 1M pool distribution here: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTCIt seems that 21 is finally deploying their 3rd gen (2nd attempt to do Intel 22nm) BitFury is more or less stable, probably decided not to deploy their 28nm and concentrate on the 16nm (just a guess). It will be interesting to see KNC over the next weeks.

hmmm ..... would make for a nice distributed transaction confirmation infrastructure .... talk about suporting the network! Still, I don't want one.
No. 1) It won't happened 2) If it will happen (it won't...), it won't amount to substantial hash-rate 3) If it will happen (it won't...) and it will amount to substantial hash-rate (it won't...) all the hash-rate will be directed to 21 pool. It's not solo mining.

Because it's a stupid idea.
Why is it a stupid idea ? Some of the reasons: 1) You'll get sub transaction fees dust 2) Certification nightmare 3) CE is very price sensitive. I don't see the incentive for a manufacturer to integrate mining ASIC 4) No incentive for the customer to buy or use such a device. If you want Bitcoin dust, go to a faucet 5) You're forced to design small ASIC (not necessarily a bad thing, but still, it might not be the best cost effective ASIC and package design) btw, BitShare / BitSplit isn't a new technology. It was done back in the FPGA era. I believe that the only home mining we'll see in the future will be in specialised heaters, like what BitFury experimented with back in the winter of 2013/2014 in Russia, before they started to fail on producing ASICs and concentrate on pre IPO publicity stunts like the bulb. It's 25 TH/s (about 10K BitFury rev1 chips): http://imgur.com/b9qlyw9.jpg

This is generally what I though about the 21 Inc announcements. They seemed best suited as a presentation for Venture Capital firms, and not geared at all towards potential customers.
I can understand why a "newcomer" to the Bitcoin mining space would want to attract investors, but I didn't seem that a firm already established (e.g. BitFury, Bitmain, yourself) in the Bitcoin mining space would care. That's part of why I am interested.
Thanks for sharing what you can.
21 Inc (previously 21e6) are not newcomers. We were incorporated more or less in the same time. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=334759.msg3594454#msg3594454OK, so then why aren't you guys going down the same path? ...

Thanks Guy! You're welcome. I wouldn't seriously wait for "IOT miners". It's a vaporware story, good only for attracting investors. This is generally what I though about the 21 Inc announcements.

You guys realize this is a joke right? Bitfury is obviously taking a stab at 21 inc and their absurd "miner in everything connected to a wall outlet" plan.
Unfortunately, it's not a joke. Well, it is, but it's not about 21 Can you folks elaborate on this? I understand the general "Internet of Things" mining premise, and don't think it really has legs. Nevertheless, I am curious. What do you actually know? I can't disclose information given to me privately. However, BitFury did discuss their CE mining plans back in January publicly. Watch here starting around 33:00 Guy

Why would that be a joke? Every company in my opinion will start to do things like that. Bitcoin chips in all device!
No.

Finally, my Mycelium Entropy is on it's way when receive new SP-100 miner,It is most important info in this part of the forum.everything else is totally irrelevant You're not interested in a mining phone or a mining light bulb ?

It's absolute horseshit, period.
I've said it before and will do so again - do the maths.

Now that your in an anwsering mode. How are the chips coming along? It was worth a shot to see if I could get a anwser Maybe if you'll change the signature You paying people for a Spondoolies tag Guy? No, we never did. We did have an affiliation program.

Back to topic, we have RockerBox ASICs to sell.
Back to topick Guy. Will you be so kind to give us a clear yes no answer to the folowing question: Were the above mentioned chips (1300 hammer) sent free of charge to WASP back then? Thanks We can't discuss customers related information publicly, unless the customer agrees.

Post the completion of our merge, we do intend to deploy our 3rd gen and later gens tech at BTCS facility in NC and evaluate expansion to other lower cost electricity facilities as well. Regarding hardware sales (miners, ASICs) and JV type deals (rev-share) it will be dependent on market conditions and will be on a selective basis.
