GekkoScience is now dabbling with 16nm ASICs for new designs

[in2tactics]

Really looking forward to the upgrade kit for S1s.... stupidly I still have one sitting around collecting dust. Is there a market for them at all other than as museum pieces hahah?

I have been holding on to all of my S1 and S3 miners just for the purpose of upgrading. I think we are getting close!

Yeah I just fired up my last S1 and even added the wifi connection. Really hoping one day to get it running again with new guts.

ME personally;  It wouldn't be bad if an early model BF with external voltage control is offered;  I'd still pick em up =)

In the whole scope of things;  I am wanting to hold out for the pods;  I am not a fan of a million smaller USB devices... Its just in the past, it seems there's too much micro managing them.

I would like a 500gb 50 -60 watt item.

Or if it fit on the s-1 a 1200gb  120-150 watt item

I want to point 2 to mmpool.org -------  if you hit the block  you get all tx fees and it also earns a piece of the block.
I want to point 1 to ck solo pool ------- if you hit the block you get it all including tx fees.

If I use say 450 watts year round cost = 500 bucks.

With a shot at blocks or tx fees and at worse some btc earned back from mmpool.org  if someone else hits a block

It looks like mmpool.org is only pushing 5 TH/s.

Some news or updates about the BF16 project ?

Yes, the auction of the prototipes

[sidehack]

That is not accurate.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

That is not accurate.

Ja. As stated in the Auction thread these are Pods using Bitmains 28nm BM1384 chips harvested from their S5's, same ones used for the Compac and 2Pac's. They do NOT use Bitfury's chips!

Oh! thanks for the clarification

Thanks for the feedback, but it still doesn´t answer my question .
So can anyone tell my please something about the current status of the BF16 project?

Thanks in advance,

oh yes an update would be nice! very interested in the BF16 project!

[sidehack]

No marked progress since the last update, hence no update.

Ah, this is a great pity , but thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, I've been eyeballs-deep in manufacturing since around February and haven't really had much time to put into new designs. Especially since the BM1384 pod took more iterations than intended to be fully functional.

[AJRGale]

its all good by me, I'm happy to wait it out.

on the other hand, tease these trolls, you know you want to

[RoadStress]

Hi. What's current status of the BF16 project?

[sidehack]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume nothing's changed in the last four days.

Or, to quote myself,

No marked progress since the last update, hence no update.

Thank you. I was just trolling

Keep up the good work!

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.
