9  Economy / Computer hardware / Looking for unfixably-broken S9s, hopefully in large quantities on: February 04, 2017, 07:35:58 AM

Hello, I'm interested in buying up broken/unusable S9 boards, mostly for the heatsinks.

I'm wondering if there are significant quantities of these floating around out there.

If your board is fixable you will get a better deal having it fixed -- I'm not trying to compete with the repair shops and not offering enough for that.  On the other hand it seems that if a single SMT land pad on the PCB is damaged even Bitmaintech's authorized warranty repair center will refuse to fix it and declare a total loss.

So it seems like there is a good chance that there are quite a few unfixable boards floating around out there, and as time goes on that pool will grow.

Still determining pricing, but probably in the ballpark of $210/miner or $70/board.  Less if the board has been lit on fire, more if I can get a large quantity in a single transaction.

Feel free to post below if you have any perspective on the market for these unfixable boards.

If you have a serious offer involving a significant number of boards, my email address is in my profile.  Please don't PM me, I don't read those.

Europractice serves only European countries plus some culturally related territories, like ex-Euro colonies or ex-USSR. PlanetCrypto is based in US, so you will only qualify for MOSIS.

That is definitely not true.  I have a chip I designed and fabbed through Europractice sitting in front of me right now and neither I nor my company have any connection to Europe.

For a while TSMC would not let them quote US customers, but that restriction was for that one fab only and it has since been removed.  The only thing Europe-only is the academic discounts.

Europractice's IMEC team in Belgium (the ones who do UMC+TSMC tapeouts, but not GF) are absolutely top-notch, outstanding people.

if Core developer community agree, it will be integrated into Bitcoin (remember, it's only software and can be updated)

Kind of like how the ownership of your coins is only data and can be updated by the "Bore developer community"?  Oh wait, it's not so simple...

Bitcoin has never accepted consensus on a breaking change opposed by more than $60k worth of entrenched interests.  Tens of millions, maybe even a hundred, have been sunk into SHA256 PoW.

If you had $9 million USD would it be crucially important to get another $9 million USD?

Maybe.

If I had $9 million I could afford to make a 22nm chip.

... and if I had $18 million I could afford to make one mistake Smiley

14  Bitcoin / Mining / Rent out your old FPGA miners! on: September 21, 2014, 11:01:28 PM
I've got a cryptography project shaping up that could benefit from renting lots of idle FPGA miners.  Specifically Spartan-6 LX150 chips (*).  If you have a lot of these, and can put them online, please contact me through the email link in my profile (do not send forum PMs).  Let me know how many chips worth you have.

Just to be clear, we're not interested in actually taking physical delivery of the miners or chips.  You'd give me a login on some junky linux box that has JTAG or similar access to the boards, I'd pay you weekly in BTC.  You pay the electric bill, but obviously we're offering more than enough to offset that.  You're free to bail out at any time.

There are still a few things that need to happen for the project to go forward, one of which is finding enough compute power.  So if you don't have a fairly large installation that's ok, let me know anyways, but I'll probably put you on the wait-list for after we get the first few big contributors going.

Thanks,

(*) It *might* make sense to add support for other FPGAs, but only if you have a truly gigantic quantity of them (like 1,000+).  If you think this might be you, let me know what you've got.

Because bitcoin.

So, it turns out that Bitcoin founded both the CIA and NSA.

Yes, it's true.

Hrm, apparently I am legendary too.

Maybe there could be an option to voluntarily elect "infamous" instead?

Very interested to know if btc-e did or did not receive a subpoena, and if so what their posture is.

I know they use Deutsche Bank for outwires so they may not be able to ignore it.

if this was a bitcoin economy then google just crashed it

No, if google crashed anything it was the "app" economy.

Stop outsourcing the administration of your computer, especially to organizations (like google) that you aren't even paying money to.
