Actually GMO claims that their 7nm SHA256 boards will produce 8TH@300W. Of course it's not going to happen tommorrow, more like 1.5 year from now.
I would have to see that to believe it. The S9 went to 13.5Th/s at 1300 w from the S7 doing 4.37 Th/s at 1300 watts at the wall. The progression curve is likely flattening at this juncture instead of steepening I would guess. Less Hashing gains with less power consumption efficiency. I could be wrong but if I am not that would truly be MIRACULOUS!!! .....also...GMO has never even done this before right? Waaaay easier said than done!! Ask Innosilicon.....or Baikal.....or Panda.... or....well, you get the picture. Its a 7nm chip so purely on gains from 16nm->7nm its easily believable. What the issue is with what they are doing is they are going the KNC route...large dies with crazy hash power per chip etc (remember neptune/titan?). This is definitely bound to be a disaster especially for a new company getting into mining. They haven't learned the lesson yet that large dies just don't work for mining.

If anyone wants to sell me some of these.... I would be willing to buy up to 50 of them!!!
Keep in mind all distributors listed in the pre-order thread will have more units in stock at the beginning of Nov. I wouldn't buy second hand until all batch 1 orders are sold out, since you'll probably end up paying alot more. Obviously immediate stock wont be selling at the pre-order price, but I'm trying to keep fair prices. We did it this way to keep a few guys from buying up all the stock then selling it for twice the price when they get them.

@jstefanop i'm like a little kid right before christmas ... are some of the first (pre order) batch in production already, or still waiting for your chips to arrive? i'm happy i were able to order one first batch and 1 from eyeboot First test run of 50 units is produced...but that was mostly to check my PCBs and production process from the sample chips I had. Main chip order is scheduled to be delivered next week, and everything is ready for me to start spitting these out

Technical question: with the new BiTG = Bitcoin Gold forking to make it ASIC resistant. And given that Scrypt was once ASIC resistant, would you or your chip supplier be able to make an ASIC for Bitcoin Gold?
Just because a coin is marked ASIC resistant doesn't mean it is. I recently saw that when Scrypt first came out, it was pointed out that Scrypt was not "memory hard" enough to prevent GPU usage. And it wasn't. Was that intentional by the creator? Possibly. A lot of people think alt coins are scams. And, truly, most of them are. M Hi thanks for the clarification but back to the question: can he or can't he make an ASIC for bitcoin gold? Yea I probably can...just need about 10 million USD lol

What about radiation or stuff like that? I have 20 GPUs in my apartment.
Yes, hot air mixed in with extremely toxic chemicals, beta and alpha radiation emissions due to the ghz frequencies, as well as proton emission decays due to the unique ethereum algorithm computation that happens inside the GPU will most likely fry your brain within a week if you stay within 100ft of more than 10 GPUs. With 20 you should be dead already...

PLEASE GUYS I NEED TO BUY HUBS FOR 100 OF THESE MINERS CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE TO GET THEM FROM. cheapest please!!
Many thanks
Awesome looking product hoping to grab a few of these when they become available again in the EU. Im confused as to why anyone would spend $7000 euros on usb miners when the combined hashing power is not much more than an l3? Is there any news when the next batch of these will be available? As long as manufacturing goes smoothly at the end of this month, ill be able to place an additional chip order and probably have another batch ready within a month.
