This is one crazy farm. Never heard of these miners either. Looks like a custom setup.

Guessing they are using Gen1 Bitfury chips ?

I saw pictures of miners like that sometime in the last few weeks but I forget where. Looks to be akin to Yaizo/OneString design with a high-density backplane.

Wow that is a lot of miners to buy. Would be interesting if someone comes in and ships to very low electric costing area.
I keep thinking some day some A1 and similar gear will be pulled from network on big mines. Maybe this is showing a possible future of this happening.

Due to high power prices in Europe and low BTC price we are shutting down 4 mines located in Poland and offering the hardware for sale at $0.20 per GH. The power efficiency of the mines is 0.84 J/GH (measured at 15kV level). The power efficiency can be improved by reducing voltage or replacing PSUs with more efficient ones (the current efficiency of PSUs is approximately 80%). The mines are build using 55nm chips on string boards. A miner consists of 48 boards with 15 chips on each board and is powered with 3 separate 500Watt PSUs. Voltage is reduced to 11.4V to improve power efficiency.
0.84 J/GH is looking very dated these days, particularly with the new Bitmain S7 offering 0.25 J/GH with scope to better that with a reduced voltage. What do you estimate is the best possible with your Miners with better PSU's & a reduced Voltage?

Yeah that's it. I remember thinking that corrugated cardboard makes terrible heatsinks.

Lol please tell me thats a joke....Chips on their boards don't even have heatsinks...I don't know whats worse.

Guessing they are using Gen1 Bitfury chips ? Yes, looks like I've already seen that board.... they were made in Russia. spiccioli

Likely the cardboard was just for stability during shipping. Heatsink-less boards are not uncommon for sparse Bitfury gear like that, where the whole PCB might be pushing under 20 watts.

The setup consisted of an Rpi, a backplane, and the hashing boards, each with 16 chips that could be tuned dynamically. These miners were available to the general public before the Antminer S1 was even announced.

If anyone is looking for space to host these machines, our rates start at $60/kW, including tax, but go lower for bulk orders. james@greatnorthdata.com

These are single layer aluminium PCB, which is heatsink itself. The cardboard on one of the images was to send the whole rack ( I cannot imagine using paper to build heatsinks ).

Somewhere I find a topic offering a big place with cheap electricity but location is in Venezuela, OP says he only pay $2 a month for electricity. Why don't the OP look for this guy, maybe he could give mining a second chance.

Stable geopolitical situation would be a great benefit. It is easier to send a single miner than sending the whole mine to Venezuela

Even with cheap power 0.20 USD/Gh price is very expensive.
You cab buy S3+ which has a better efficiency with less than that.

Do you guys feel like doing small sales to individuals? I might pick one up to add to my collection, this stuff looks pretty neat.
