PCB Schematics of Miners Available? Open-Source or Paid?

[cashintor1]

Hi community,

Are there any reliable schematics for PCB production available?

I found some schematics but they are very old and not worthy.

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks!

I would like to design a open source miner for example as a shiled for the raspberry, if only I could get some asics in small quantities.

Right now the only way to get mining asics is desoldering them from broken mining gear, or am i wrong ?

You can get some asics, for example http://www.dualminer.com/SFARDS-SF3301-40-chip-package_p_34.html

Interesting, but also a bit outdated with the new 16nm ASICs coming out now.  Do you know if there is a possibility to get or buy one sample of that chip ?

Of course. Just waves a couples of millions of USD at Bitfury or Bitmain, see if they bite.

Better yet, go read the "Community miner" thread and learn a bit about the issues an EXPERIENCED third-party miner designer (Sidehack of Gekko fame) has had with trying to get current or even near-current chips out of ANY of the manufacturers.

Yeah I already followed that thread  

Really fucked up situation.

Link? Or preferably, care to summarize what happened that was so messed up? I never knew about any of this trouble he ran in to (but didn't follow him that early on)

To summarise, Sidehack made the sidehack stick, he has had for a long time the interest in making a board type asic miner for home miners. Since BM1384 he has been trying to get any of the companies to sell him chips, but even though he has some funding, he has not been able to get anything, pretty much. BM1384 is two gen old now, so its been a while.
