If only their hardware could be bought at ROI-able price... They do really great ASICs, but mostly for themselves. As for this miner, with such generic information and at 5 months of halving, it's dubious IMHO and I would not risk any preorder...

So at this point in time this is just an idea. You have taken the Bitfury spec, done a small amount of maths, nocked up a graphic that bears no relationship to the final product and started a thread?
He has Bitfury's documentation, chips soon. This is a guy that has made plenty of previous miners so its not as if its just that rendering. As he said (and I said previously), its a mockup of the formfactor and nothing more.

All of that may well be true, but for those of us who are new we constantly have beaten into us by the old hands not to trust anything that does not look right, or has very little to back up claims being made. So if this is from an experienced Miner Manufacturer they should know better than to produce some useless and misleading graphics. If they have Bitfury Documentation they should be able to use that to put together specifications and drawing that are far more credible than this. Rich

You state "He has the Bitfury Documentation, chips soon", how do you know?

the other supplier miner price may be dropped to competive with us. but new asic is not like one piece of cake. so, in next coming 6 months, only this aisc can do 100W/THS .
By April, (quite a bit LESS than the 6 months you claim) I anticipate there will be more than one chip that can achieve that 100W/TH at the miner level. I am NOT counting KnC as they don't sell to the public ever. I am NOT counting 21etc, which seems to think that stupid "bitcoin computer" is worth selling. I am NOT counting BitFury lightbulbs. I am ONLY counting companies with a good history achieving their stated performance with reliable equipment and a stated intent to sell to small/home miners. I won't be entirely shocked if it's 3 companies meeting that target by April, and would bet a small sum on at least 3 making and selling miners in that range TO THE PUBLIC by 6 months from now (assuming the OP actually sells something real, not bad CAD pictures with specs that don't match the chip they claim they are using). Bitmain already has mentioned working on 14/16nm full custom, though no specific details yet (they want to push as much S7 as they can while it's still a viable product). If this machine was real and available in the next MONTH, it would probably be a ground-breaker - 3 months from now it should be playing catch-up, 6 months from now it WILL be playing catch-up.

Here is my parsing of the situation:
Bitfury has mining centers or not with 16nm tech.
If they do have mining centers with 16nm tech, they can't loan one unit from the thousands that are mining for promotion? They can't even produce promotional material from one of the thousands of units? Even if they don't like LightingASIC, Bitfury can't loan a unit to a reseller they consider reputable?
The only conclusion that I can come up with that doesn't reflect badly on Bitfury, is that the 16nm tech miner is still under development or being prototyped.

Bitfury is using immersion tech in it's new mining center(s), per at least 2 announcements I've seen from them.
NOT applicable to a home miner.

But they have also specified a lower 140GH/s v 184GH/s rating for an air cooled chip. Rich

yeah ..they just run slower if not in immersion see this link...supposedly you may get some of these chips 'someday' er so they say http://www.thebitcoinchannel.com/archives/52211note link above you get more with oil cooling then w/o ...but they still seem to work ..just not as good ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) but again will probably get these chips in a home device LONG LONG after it makes any sense to do so..with continued expected 'mad' difficulty rises due to massive data halls etc

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

The power dissipation needed to cool such a dense amount of chips is really hard to reach with air cooling unless you underclock (not profitable considering the cost of the chips). Boards made for air cooling, on the other hand, can be used in immersion, the power density won't be optimal, and you'll have a harder time to recoup the initial investment, that's all. If they wanted to demo the chips, they could simply use a smaller acrylic tank with one or two blades like the ones we use for prototyping. I'm not sure they want (need?) to advertise.

If they wanted to demo the chips, they could simply use a smaller acrylic tank with one or two blades like the ones we use for prototyping. I'm not sure they want (need?) to advertise. yeah I'm just going by the above link in the article where they imply you would lose 44gh per chip if you used it in an air cool manner....again their implication...not mine ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) quote According to the company’s announcement, for miners using a traditional air cooling setup, the ASIC will be able to reach hashing power of 140 GH/s. However, by using liquid immersion cooling, the chip can reach hashrates of up to 184 GH/s. from again this link: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitfury-to-mass-produce-new-nm-chip-and-sell-to-public-1452010171So again ..you could be right...but they leave the reader with the impression that 1) they are wonderful fellows 'decentralizing' and such for 'home miners' and you could ROI (with difficulty pump this could be iffy imho) 2) that home miner makers or themselves can make such miners in an air cooled manner and it would all be 'hunky dory' ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Anyway likely by the time they hit the market ...these same chips in their data halls and others they have sold to in bulk will make this whole 'home miner' idea moot again imho anyway where I was coming from on the info....but with KNC making another 20 kw setup and bitfury making a 50 kw setting and bitmain doing something the same and of course spondoolies also I think a 20 kw setup....difficulty for btc will get damn interesting in that they ALL seem to be gonna hit around the same month or so fun times ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I am willing to do a long write up on this site. with fair and honest photos and results.
My conditions are simple send the demo when it is ready.
I won't even keep it I would return it or ship it to a customer.
I would just do a fair 7-14 day review.
I will offer even better conditions. I'll pay for this unit, but sure only after getting it in hands and testing for a while. I like to explore something new. And to prove to the community that something is real. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

We are back with latest 16nm ASIC,supported by BITFURY. 1, 10THS/miner, 2,100W/THS, 0.25J/GH on wall 3, 4X 6pin PCI-E 4, Gross weight 5KG 5, size: 350x140x155(adjustable according the design) the price is BTC0.42/THS, fob china. miner ship at end of march or early April.
What the hell!! What is that i am reading? the miner will have 0.25J/GH on wall??? the same eficience than a S7?? ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
