Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly"

[sidehack]

Probably because nobody else is talking either.

Then it should be wiser to not mention anything at all, or am i wrong?

@sidehack: How is your chip testing going on? Anything new from the big guys?

500 watts would be nice, but anything under 1 KW would be viable for home mining - if it's better designed for "moderatly quiet efficient" cooling than some recent units have been.

 Do note that the S5 wasn't much over 500 watts but still managed to be QUITE loud (my A2 Mega's are about the same noise level, despite *3 to 5* 120mm high-flow fans vs. 1).


 Delta focused flow fans (like the FFB series) are nice when you have a restricted flow path (like in the S7) but they're a lot noisier than the AFB line at the same rated CFM level - tradeoff is that the AFBs don't handle high-restriction flow paths nearly as well.

I agree, design certainly matters - I have an Avalon 6 at 1 kw in the same room and barely notice it. It's probably closer to an S3 as far as noise goes. A 7 th/s miner pulling about 1000-1050 should be fine for at-home use if designed as well as the Avalons.

AFAIK so far nothing at all to be heard from BitFury re chips/data sheets for the Community miner project nor anyone else.

Just came across this today https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/alerts/IR-ALERT-H-16-056-01 while reading up on a feed about US grid security upgrades coming up and wondered if BirFury's farm amd other operations in the Ukraine are in the blacked out regions... The hack on Ukraine's grid was very extensive and targeted If so, no fun at all for them

isnt bitfury's farm in Tbilisi, Georgia?

BAMM - a WORKING 16 nm full custom ASIC chip @TSMC ! 5x more efficient than our 28nm. Sales to public start shorlty. Decentralize @Bitcoin !

"Sales to public start shortly" turned out to be a very long wait! That message was in 16 Dec 2015. We exceeded 5 months now with no news on sales. Maybe they decided to keep them for themselves ? or Is it possible that they are waiting for some reason for the halving to take place? or maybe Bitmain ruined the game by lowering the price so much that it no longer profitable for manufacturers.

ya they have "2 million square feet" there for future builds. stated here in recent article

[Mr. Kashif]

Where can we go and meet Bitfury personally for the chips?

Do any one of you have an idea of which office of theirs to visit to talk about the chips?

I'm aware of that, bro. Can you just help me out with my query?

I don't mean a visit, I'll be business to them.

So dose anyone have any idea on the cost of the 16nm?

Seems to be the last piece of the puzzle.

Here is the demo videos of the 16nm chip in action

PS Bitfury probably  not a good idea releasing a video showing your system running as ROOT.. its a big no no..

Anyway..

$13/Chip

MOQ - $1M

You'll get Roughly around 76924 chips.

Sounds like a croudfunding project -> SIDEHACK -> can someone please get sidehack in here!!!

[sidehack]

$13 per chip is about twice what it should be.

[Mr. Kashif]

I know but I have a mail from them quoting the same. Between @Sidehack do you know where can I go meet these bitfury guys for their chips?

[ScottishSecurity]

$13 per chip is about twice what it should be.

I thought $13 sounded not too bad.  but I'll let the experts debate this one out.

and 1m in chips.. dam that's a whole load of burned fingers and solder haha!

$13 is way too much. And do not forget there's halving just around the corner.
