Can you show the preformance of the device ? hash rate

Asic miner for your head OP... why not?

Not long time ago we were published a small developers report.
It contains information about the hashrate, and other things. There are some video and pictures. It can be found here https://nvminer.com/review?re=asix

Not gonna happen just yet

[khufuking]

There will be no ASIC for Ethereum because it is a memory-intensive algorithm rather than a CPU intensive one (GPUs are just many CPUs plugged together). So there will never be one for it.

I do not think so, many advanced mining rigs has already done, using GPU and memory as in video cards. I googled "ethereum asics" and found devices like this one https://www.nvminer.com , they call it an asic, but it still use NVidia GPUs. however, the hashrate and power consumption are more profitable, than graphic cards.

you mean you are the scammer that made the website nvminer.com and want to lure in suckers?  lol nice try....obvious scam is obvious

We are official represent of NVminer.
Do not make hasty conclusions, but carefully review the information on the site.

We can answer any questions.

Lol Nvminer nice try 400MH/s and only 850watt! if you want to scam at least make it a little logic . Btw if there gonna be ever a machine to mine ethereum Nvida or ATI will be the first to offer it not some useless site with zero info .

How can you be so sure?
Do you know how many power the NVidia chip requires to run stable? Do you have read a technical manual?
Why does anybody in the world can not create a simple motherboard with BGA chips on it? China make it everyday. There are many Nvidia video cards manufacturers in the world.
We also have some experience in developing such boards.
And yes, the total power consumption of 12X device can be more than 850W, we declared as 850-980. And it is only first tests, based on X8 device.

Thanks for your offer, however due to the fact that many scammers ripped off miners we are very careful with new manufacturers now.

If you are legit please offer Escrow or some other safe way of payment.

Thanks.

How about you take a picture in front of your office in Valencia, CA? Oh wait...you can't because that's a lie .

I'm still waiting for some sort of proof that this is legit....Haven't seen it yet.  Also, the claiming the product is asic then backing out of that because it is not an nvidia gpu is not an asic is huge red flags. 

Quit trying to hide behind the lab not letting you take pictures.  If you were legit and owned the design we would have pictures and proof of hashrate...look at how panda did it.  Can you provide pictures or proof of hashrate and power consumption?

I wouldn't expect it, looks like they gave up scamming on this forum.

It will be a dream, to find or to develop something like ASIC with 6 Gb up to 16 Gb Memory access, personally, I've tried to break some ASIC chip codes and are not difficulty, but Ethereum with ASIC... I don't know...

There is a nice article to understand, from the voice of the master "VIJAY PRADEEP".

https://www.vijaypradeep.com/blog/2017-04-28-ethereums-memory-hardness-explained/

Anyway, I'm really interested to change some ideas about to break some codes, specifically X11 and Memory Hard Ethash.

[erik777]

In China, they are already making an ethereum asic's. They are very shitty!

This is in position 2 because of its ASIC resistance, which means trust, which means mine and ensures the value is safe and you do not need to sell it, if ASIC is resistant then the value will be around $ 50 instead of $ 4. ASIC means only whales which can mine, its value is not distributed, whales and landfills because for them if they do not throw away then other whales will do it. ETH has a check for ASIC, if the device in question does not pass then it is not mine. there will be no ASIC for meaningful eth, you can mine or buy safely.

[OhShei8e]

ETH has a check for ASIC, if the questionable device dont pass then it will not mine. there will never be ASIC for eth which means, ...

graphics card prices will explode because the GPUs will simply become ethereum ASICs.

Brilliant plan. Gamers already love you for it.

[butch3r]

So if anything GPUs are only going to get even more expensive and harder to buy?

Great /s

[MATTX]

technically ram run on much slower speed compared to asic.
ram speeds have not changed since last 30 years, don't shock 133,233,433 mhz is not speed increase, just bandwidth increased.

slowest part speed determines the max speed of whole system.

[Turkish88]

Asic miner for ether will be more expensive then GPU cards
I dont see new GPU for selling, where manufacturers take gpu's ? I dont think what nvidia sell him it

[sam_tdam]

Sorry to revive a dead post, but, I've actually been working on this in verilog and a few other thing for several months a this point.

So we know that equihash, and ethereum, as well as neoscrypt are what we call memory hard.

In the specific case of ethereum, we currently have a 2+GB DAG file, or as I like to call it a library.

That library takes up 2 GB today and in a few more months it will be 3gb, etc etc.

So the library has to be accessible, and then the way the algorithm works is by calling a 128 byte "page" out of that 2gb library. Well it doesn't call them sequentially, it's at a seemingly random order, and it also calls it a total of 64 times, before mixing it and then comparing it to the current nonce.

64*128 bytes = 8192 bytes or 8.2Kb for the rest of us.

So now we are talking about how many times we can pull 8.2Kb per second? right because 8.2kb/s is a "hash". so we are now discussing memory bandwidth.

Each 1gb of DDR5 has approximately 24 gb/s of bandwidth, which results in a theoretical max Ethereum hash of approximately 3 Mh/s.

So I had this awesome idea for sticking a single mem controller and processor with 16gb of ddr5 ram (which is actually fairly cheap at $6-7 each) only to find out I have a LOT to learn about electrical engineering and programming.

Theoretically, you could build an FPGA with 16gb or memory on 1 RAM controller, with a single processor, and run about 50 mh/s on 1 card. However the development cost is fairly high for that, and ethereum has been fighting off the PoS Ghost transition for 12+ months now. If anyone had known 1 year ago, that casper would not go into effect in October, they would have made such a card. Hindsight is 20/20. People think Casper will again be rolled out around november/december, and it's july 1, so no one will invest 20+K to develop an FPGA/ASIC card for a coin that is going to proof of stake.

I personally consider that silly, as an FPGA card with 16gb of ram, that runs around 250W that is designed for memory hardened crypto algos is well worth the development.

I had the brilliant idea of combining 10 such 16gb cards, with not but a power supply, small ram chip for bios, and 16 gb of ram and a memory controller, all feeding into 1 FPGA "gateway" device that would send out the work, and the biggest problem I ran into there is a data transfer latency timing issue, where basically I would in theory be submitting all stale shares because, by the time I sent the signal, processed it, sent it back, then received it, then passed it on those 10+ nano seconds would cause me to end up with an effective hash rate of below 1.5 Mh/s. so for 10 cards at 16 gb at a likely cost of $750 per card, or $7500- I could end up with a whopping 240 mh/s @ 2500 watts, IE worse than a rig of Rx 480's.

Theoretically I could make a card, with 2 processors (similar to an R9 290 DUO) and stack 2 memory controllers each with 16 GB of ram on the card and end up with a near 100 MH/s (96 really) it is beyond my own ability to finish the engineering and programming of such card, and I do not possess the LARGE amount of funds it would take to generate the first card. All subsequent cards would be fairly inexpensive ($300-$400 to produce)

The other piece of the puzzle, of course, is making sure that the components are OPEN CL/CUDA device compatible, so that they interface with the current miners, and I don't also have to write my own additional miner.  All in all, if it was truly a profitable venture, you would see someone with money to blow doing just that.

So good luck, and if you ever want to borrow some of my research notes or existing in development files, drop me a line.

Hi lothar_hayner，

We are a Chinese mining chip manufacturer and interested in your idea in the post above. Please send me PM if you would like to discuss further.

Thanks
