I hate to say this, but at the rate Sidehack is going and with all the time he has wasted on the outdated BM1384 stuff, by the time he gets TO the Bitfury chips to make miners out of them THEY are going to be outdated technology.

I don't expect to be doing too much with BM1384 after January or February. Starting this week I'll have R&D time again so better stuff will be back in active development. I've already got half a layout done for the next step in BF16 testing, which should be fun, and another thing or two in the works.

Nice. I hope my Finnish comrade mr. Punin from Bitfury is still ready to sell those chips, when it is time for manufacturing.

I hadn't talked to him in a while so I emailed on Monday, haven't heard back yet. Earlier on he swore up and down that I'd have access to chips so I really hope he follows through on that, even though it's taking me forever to be ready for 'em.

Any updates on anything? chips? Products etc? Interested in upgrade boards for early Antiminers, S3 in particular. Also USB sticks.

No news currently. The last I heard from Bitfury, chips were sold out until around Halloween.
But Bitfury's not the only game in town. We might see a little magic yet.

I'm just gonna go ahead and enter few wild guesses here about the ASIC chip manufacturer BW.com? Canaan? Pangolinminer? Halong Mining (if they are real)? Ebang Communication?

I am guessing Halong Mining for the most efficient chips (if they are real). They seem open to selling their product to outside vendors.
We won't know if they are real until the first batch gets into the hands of real users in the next month or so.
Thanks for the update.

Well now, thats a small leap there.. if they are real, would like to see sidey cringe at em.. I cannot find any more info on them other then the same regurgitating spiel over "news" sites. nothing saying what fabrication size they are, no pictures of the chips, no docs of any kind.. for all we know they are 110nm fabs with BGA layout, sidehacks favourite trash. If these are real, I wonder if we could get a sample of say 10 to let ol'sidey to snap/crackle/pop/smoke/glow/plain ol' abuse.. if not, anyone else doing QNF type packaging? or MLF? or even DIP? everyone is going BGA and sidehack hates that type with a passion.

What's exciting about a stack of shrink-wrapped mailboxes?

You've inspired me for a new novelty bitcoin item.

mmm, low quality video, looking like they are stacking little aluminium cuts, into trays.. "Yah i see chips, MUST be real!" well, the looks of them, they are 50x50mm BGA chipsets. looks something like the old KnC miner chips.. none the less, still no stats on what the chips are or how they are laid out..

If these are coming through bitshopper.de then I will buy a few as well. The reduction in shipping and import VAT makes it a payable hobby again in the UK.

Wait, the miner nobody's ever seen and has been advertising its first (sold out) batch shipping in March has something in stock?
