Eh, I'm sure there are other people also doing stuff. But let's make sure to let Bitfury know we're banking pretty heavily on their claim to support the community and decentralize and stuff.

UMC 14nm FinFET ready for production in 2Q17 October 27, 2016 http://digitimes.com/news/a20161027PD200.htmlUMC will ship 14nm chips to BitFury in small volume in the second quarter of 2017, said the sources, adding that shipments will expand in the following quarter. BitFury going for a 14nm FinFET chip next year, wow!

BitFury going for a 14nm FinFET chip next year, wow! New chips on schedule before the older ones are made available to the public. I wonder if their 16nm failed to outperform Bitmain's in real world usage and that is why they went this route. Hopefully their 14nm is competitive, unlike the 14nm chips that are currently available.

BitFury going for a 14nm FinFET chip next year, wow! Hmm. Wonder *who* UMC will use for the fab? Per-their website, they do not have either a 16 much less 14nm fab. http://www.umc.com/English/class_300/c.asp They only list in-house @ 28nm and (much) bigger nodes. I highly doubt that Samsung would be interested and that leaves Global Foundries with their fab in upstate NY. More specifically, what was the old IBM fab in Fishkill. GloFo licensed parts of Samsung's process so now offer 14nm to all comers.

I had a chance to talk with their head of sales when I was in London in early Oct. Was a bit surprised that they completely abandoned the plan of working with local integration partners and switched to focusing solely on selling thier containers. The thing costs USD 2.5 million per unit and few can afford it (I for one can't ). They are aware of the issue so they aim to target only the large miners who want to "double down". But if you compare the price and performances with Bimain's S9, it is less efficient and more expensive and requires three months of wait time. I talked to some Chinese miners and they showed little interest - as much as I'd like more players around to prevent Bitmain achieving absolute monopoly, it is going to be tough.

Already a "monopoly".....how much hashrate do the "corp" miners have??? Looks pretty close to 50% ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) That's just what we can "see"................. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

I guess so far only Sidehack (user here at the forum, check out his projects), LightningAsic ( lightningasic.com) and Hotmine ( en.hotmine.io) have been able to get hands on the chips.

Bitfury has reassured me several times that I'll have access, and they've actually shipped me sample chips twice. Punin mentioned on the forum last year that I'd get sample chips and I hadn't even asked for them yet.
Regarding a full run, if I can solve some of my manufacturing problems I'll be a lot closer. And you know I won't be self-mining up the butt because I only have 100KW of datacenter available and most of that is farmed out to hosting customers. Y'all have always been my priority.

The only miner I've paid up-front for (not counting a handful of USB BEs) was an ASICMiner Blade about August 2013. Everything since then was paid for with mining revenues or related handiwork - repairs and upgrades. I can't say all individual miners turned a profit, but mining as a whole was profitable for me until I started putting everything into buying museum stuff instead of viable gear. The only thing I've been openly burned on was a pair of BlackArrow X1 ordered from Minersource, traded up to a pair of Technobit HEX4M boards, which have yet to be delivered or refunded. Not like that's a perfect trifecta of ripoff artists or anything...
I never bought into BitFury gear back in the day, it was always way too expensive. Even before I had industrial power rates at the shop and was mining residential, my rate was below 9 cents so extreme efficiency wasn't really worth it to me - plus I kinda started with about $300. I have some boxes of Bitfury stuff on the museum shelf right now, bought a few HexFury USB miners to compare with my Compacs, got some OneString boards still new in packaging, but that's about it.
