sorry was away for the weekend...and yes I am under NDA so I can't say much other than what is publicly available. Chips are indeed BW's latest 1402 14nm. About 50 GH a chip @ .1 w/gh.
So don't tell us anything that is covered by the NDA, just tell us what your plans are for the chips? Rich |

You have my attention... 100-200 watts . So a stick with 1 chip would use 5 watts more or less. and do 40 to 55 gh a stick nice. |

I guess a stick is the easiest way eh, no need for cooling considerations. I would really like a "new Rbox" with these chips. I will 100% buy some sticks if they are made with this chip though. |

Thanks a lot jstefanop. Your small miners are the only option for home miners. Scrypt MLs are great. I pay electricity at 0.15 and I don't loose money with them. Even I earn something... And now an small bitcoin miner that can survive next halving. Incredible.  I will buy a few of them for sure THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SMALL MINERS. |

Nice! I'm interested too. How hard was it to get samples?
Thanks for giving us hope that there are *some* chips available for the small guys ;-p

So don't tell us anything that is covered by the NDA, just tell us what your plans are for the chips? Rich My plans involve discussing the deal with BW so thats the issue there. And the "deal" is a bit at odds with my plan for producing small affordable miners for you guys which is the problem currently. I was going to stay away from stick miners since the high end of the stick miner range (for both compaq and my moonlander) was around 10W which cause a bit of headaches for USB powered devices/hubs...since most hubs can't provide that much clean power. The good thing about this chip is the high end is 5w, which would make it a prefect stick miner. My "ideal" plan would be around a 4-5 chip "pod" miner ~200GH @ 20 watts (ridiculously small, think a 2x2x2 inch box) that could connect up to 10 of them on a single pcie power connector, and would have a separate controller box. So essentially you would buy the pcie cable connector (or make one), the controller box, then add as many pods as you would like (up to 20 chained). So you would have miner "building blocks" and its up to the user how much they want to spend and how large to make the miner. Then lets say a new chips comes out, all you would have to do is swap out the board on the mini-pods for upgrades (same controller/powersetup and you would reuse the pod box/fan). |

Ideally, controller box would be just pi, since almost everyone got at least one. |

Exactly! jstefanop: if the problem with the "deal" is a too-large-a-minimum-buy, then perhaps several of us can get together... thoughts? -a[g |

If you can convince the powers that this is a great idea and get some built, I'm definitely interested. I can contribute a couple of BTC if that will help get this off the ground. - zed |
No mining at the moment.

I could spare a bitcoin or 2 if you need it to buy chips.
a small 5 chip miner works for me. does not need to be a stick.

Even a 10-20 chip setup would be great. I'm all for chipping in. "no pun intended" |
