Bitfury 16 nm chips and board design

[philipma1957]

I'm almost done with an Avalon A3218-based proof of concept board layout. Kilo17 is the man with the plan as far as getting chips lined up, and a demonstration of this concept board was one step of that.

will be nice to see it.

I am just hoping that BitFury gets their chip out with enough time for it to make sense.

I would be In on group buy I got at least 2,500 USD maybe more.
I got 3 S3 Antminers laying around. Make drop in boards for old miners that would cut cost.

Im interested, and if you guys need chips produced in volume then I have some connections.
Would have to be 500,000 chips or more.

[mindtrip]

I am also interested in supporting this project and may potentially be able to pool together some of my resources to come up with some substantial money to back this if we can get some preliminary ideas of cost in place I can handle the close. I am also able to assist in any support / paperwork needed by a team as I have a full staff at my disposal

[bitwhizz]

Looks like a great project, keep up the great work! when will the chips be ready?

[zoggie]

Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing a working unit. Pricing will be critical with the ever increasing difficulty that I can't see reverting any time soon.

[lewis.jr]

I'm interested too

[jelin1984]

i am in too

I have about 600 KW opening this month that I would like to fill with bitfury chips if this is still a viable option.

[Eric Mu]

Did BitFury ship the chips?

[IOTUSA]

I would be able to throw some financial weight behind a project like this in the coming months. $100k+ (most likely quite a bit more)

[bigdream]

is there still interest in this project or did it just die

i would be interested to invest

Side hack has a plan for a few BF16 sticks, pods, and also a blade that can be directly mounted onto S1/3/5 frames, and nothing further has happened on this thread so I'd assume nobody else got the chips. IIRC Sidehack was one of the only guys to even get contacted by Bitfury with a realistic pricing for chips, so I think this project is dead.

I'm working, but dev time keeps getting kicked by manufacturing time. I started the 2Pac project to raise funds for BF16 dev but ended up taking over a month longer than planned to get the first batch built. Now all the kinks are worked out and I'm flat flying, but still haven't had time to get BF16 anything working. Way way behind schedule with new product development, but it's getting there. A lot of groundwork is laid, so as soon as we get chips talking the rest will fall into place pretty fast.

But that's not really this thread's project. I don't know what's up.

You can do it mate! I'm sure I have bought stuff based on your designs in the past and genuinely look forward to seeing more.

[arruah]

I'm also interested.

[tlon19]

i am also interested.

There is a new BitFury chips, 16nm BF8162. I have contacted and confirmed that 1 chip is 7$ and minimum order amount is 500 000$. 1 chip has 100GH/s power and 0.1J/GH efficiency with conditional cooling.

Those are the same 16nm chips as they introduced originally.
My Hotminer X5 miner is equipped with those, see my review thread (link in my signature).
