Mining Asic Technologies?

Not sure if this has already been posted but I think this is the official twitter for asicminer: https://twitter.com/ASICMinerANN

Interesting part:

Has a prototype been tested at 0.8w/gh?

Located near Sacramento.

Anyone else think it's time for a new round of shareholder questions?

Seems like the last one was ignored/forgotten and the conference didn't really reveal much.

Still for sale.

Lowered price.

Seems like you are trying to be intentionally misleading.

Bitfury is not spending $600m on hardware. Some fortunetellers estimate $600m will be spent based on how much btc can be mined. They also say "The cost of deploying a petahash ranges from $1.5 million to $2 million" which is way too much. A month ago Hashratios deployment costs were $800k/PH and it will only get cheaper.

I think they should be added as soon as they come out with a competitive product that is shipping in mass, not for shipping a handful of outdated miners.

If avalon was removed for not directly selling miners for a month, why should biostar make the list? I can't even find a place to purchase a biostar miner.

Is petamine having all their HW hosted by bitfury now?

What's the point of adding them to this list?

They are already a reputable and very well known hardware manufacturer.

If anything, adding it would just mislead people into thinking they have a competitive product especially because they will probably earn 10/10 on each category while having sold next to nothing.

Avalon is still selling directly: https://ehash.com/

Both work.

You've got it right.



You only need to connect the green pin to a black one.

Also found a corsair endorsed tutorial: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2011/may/testing-your-corsair-power-supply

Here are the connections you need:

2 pci-e connected from the psu (8 pin) to the miner (6 pin). Also make sure you don't put them both on the same board.

1 20pin cable (with a paperclip) plugged into the psu.

Then just plug the psu power cable into the wall outlet and when you flip the switch it should turn on.

I've got an RM750 and only the 4 pins on the right side are optional (with the latch on top)

Should be 20+4 pin.

You need 2 pci-e (6 pin) for powering the miner (should be labeled and the only ones that fit)

For starting the psu just count the pins. It's the same as colored ones.

Unlike NYSE seats, Mpex seats are nothing more than a referral/moneymaking scheme.

With NYSE you couldn't convince 5 investonomers to buy a seat and make serious money by doing so. You could only sell your own seat. You have no incentive to sell seats/recruit new members.

Unlike MPEX, when a seat is sold on the NYSE the money doesn't go directly to the exchange owners pocket.


Nope. Seats no longer exist on the NYSE and you can trade directly on the exchange with a one year license for $40,000. That is only twice as expensive as a seat on mpex and you get a bit more than twice as much for your money.

Mpex is 0.0000015% the size of the NYSE (market cap) so if the trading license was scaled evenly it would cost literally $ 0.0006 USD per seat (100 satoshis).

If NYSE had equally exorbitant trading fees as Mpex it would be $1.3 trillion per trading license or 30 million times the current price.

Let's compare MPEX to the NYSE.

Age: 2 years vs ~200 years.

Market Cap*: $240,000 vs $16,000,000,000,000

Yearly trading volume*: Less than $100,000 vs more than $20,000,000,000,000

Number of listings*: 1 vs 1875

Number of seats: ~1000 and counting vs 1366

Price for a seat: $18,000 (7% of market cap) vs ~$1,000,000 (0.000006%)

Determining seat price: arbitrary vs supply/demand

Reward for convincing someone to buy a seat: $6,000 vs $0

Requires a seat to trade directly on the exchange: Yes vs no

Brokers: Some guy who set up a website in an afternoon vs several multibillion dollar financial institutions.
