SFARDS is planning our debut miner's imminent release, we have finished tapeout of our SF3301 chip: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985400.0By mid-April we'll start opening up to outsourced development by providing details on: - Chips (datasheets, programming guide etc) - Hardware (design documents) - Software This will include the purchase of sample chips to design your own miners. If interested please contact us at sales@sfards.com. Seems interesting. Will keep watch for now |

Not large scale at the moment. Looking to get sample sizes to start evaluating designs .
Thanks a lot for the information everyone!
For avalon you can buy samples right off their website, for bitmain we bought samples from Janet (Janet.Zhao{|AT|}bitmain.com). For Spondoolies I think you can talk to Guy (guy|{AT|}spondoolies-tech.com) and sign their NDA, but they would probably sell you samples. Got a project in mind already or just looking at what you could build? -- novak Have a project in mind and now evaluating the options. You seem to be very familiar with the space ? Are you a hardware programmer ? Have you done custom designs and implementations with any of these manufactures chips before ? |

Probably if you got the cash to make them deal with you.
ASICMiner, Avalon, Bitfury, Bitmain, Spondoolies, and if your daring KNC
AM has no BE300s, potentially some old BE200 stock but it will be difficult to aquire. Bitfury aren't selling their latest gen and don't have stock of previous. Bitmain will entertain smaller developers (see BW's message above). Spondoolies also does but is between generations. KNC be KNC'ing. Thanks a lot for the suggested manufactures. Will reach out to Spondoolies and Bitmain. I will avoid KNC since they gave me a bad deal with the titans Probably if you got the cash to make them deal with you.

Bitmain seems to be willing to deal even with relatively small quantities of chip sales. I don't know that they sell chips just to random consumers but they have been quite reasonable during our talks to get chips for a miner design. Avalon also, but it appears they ask for a higher price on less efficient chips. I haven't looked into spondoolies too much but I believe they do have some Rockerbox ASICs still, though no Hammers (their older, smaller chip). I don't know of anyone else with chips for sale- at least, chips worth buying. It's possible there are a few BE200s left, I suppose, but ASICMiner appears to be mostly gone. How many chips are you looking for, and for what purpose? I know the Wasp guys have some chip samples they might be willing to unload depending on what efficiency and quantity of chips you require. -- novak Not large scale at the moment.

To the public / openly or just 'selling'?
Anyone just selling. Would like to get some chips to evaluate developing custom PCB and cooling. Probably if you got the cash to make them deal with you.

Not cash heavy at the moment but can buy sample chips to evaluate some PCB designs |

Do you ship to italy?
I will ship anywhere once the buyer is willing to pay for it. Shipping will be from the US. Are you interested ? Yes, i'm interested in 2-3 pieces if you can lower the price to 70-80 usd/pcs. Too low or still feasible? Too low. Can get it sold for $85 right now from a previous offer without the hassle of international shipping. |

Parallel computers are often used to analyze complex systems in supercomputers. It seems that blockchain analysis has similar complexity that would benefit from supercomputers. They could be used to track outputs for metacoins and optimize wallets to minimize transaction size. If SHA256 ASIC coprocessors were added to a conventional parallel computer, it could be optimized for blockchain analysis.
The ASICs on the market are already optimized and parallelized. I have a 500 core (Xeon E2600 v2) compute cluster machine at my university. If I had that at full power for a month, I reckon I'd mine a few cent. OP is not talking about using hpc [clusters]/super computers to mine BTC. He is talking about using hpc [clusters]/super computers to do analysis on the data in the blockchain. That is my understanding. OP can correct me if I am wrong. |

Why don't you quote an expected price for the domain coincreditor.com ?
It looks interesting.
Sent you PM |
