Just trying to get an idea of how many chips we could sell, so as to convince a Major Semiconductor Company that
they need to be in the Bitcoin ASIC chip market.

Not trying to sell anything!

At $30K I can't even buy half a unit... curious to see your prices for smaller units listed on your site tough.

[ecliptic]

45nm eh?  What's your power efficiency?

based on your ship time i'd say i don't trust it, zero.  that and the website is giving me BFL deja vu

1.6TH I would buy a unit providing I could actually collect in person and then do a wire transfer or bitocin transfer to the value.

if thats 30k for 400GH unit then not a chance anyone would buy for that as BFL have their units at 1TH for 30k when they re do their design for it

BFL 2.0

[m3whiteknight]

BFL minirig was $30K for 1.5 Ths . Let say they double the price to $60K for 1.5Ths  . That will be around $40 per Ghs . Fast hand machine is 400Ghs  so 400 x $40 = $16K  .  That would be a fair deal, and a premium price around $20K will be the max that I will pay.

I also forgot that BFL rig is self contain. Fast hand rig will be rack mount so add additional cost to buy rack and setup etc.... to the final cost.

If these things have not actually been made yet, why 100nm, 45nm, and 28nm processes? Wouldn't you pick one during the design process? You're supposedly designing asics using all three according to your website, so you're designing the first gen at the same time as the second gen and third gen? Or you're designing three separate chips because you have more money and engineers than you know what to do with? A sort of competition between engineering teams to help motivate them, is that it?

Also, under Services, nothing happens when you click on Proven Designs In Our Fash-Hash Series, which I think is appropriate.

I wouldn't be critical since you're not taking pre-orders on your website for these imaginary miners yet, but you are currently attempting to sell 25 million shares on bitfunder for a service that doesn't exist without anything whatsoever backing it up and information that really doesn't make sense, which steamboat has pointed out. You're either running a scam or incredibly incompetent.

For anyone seriously thinking this is legitimate, read the "AMC Press Releases" on bitfunder: https://bitfunder.com/asset/AMC. If I am proven wrong I will gladly retract all of my comments.

If I may offer a personal opinion, I think the website needs more stock images of people in offices that have absolutely nothing to do with mining.

Sorry for the delay in answering you post.  Our estimated delivery on our Fast-Hash-XX series (20-80 GHs) is August 2013.  We are purchasing Avalon chips which they say that can be supplies from TSMC is 9-10 weeks.  We are ready have the machines designed, we just need to spin up the Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)s get the Avalon chips and have them installed on the board.  After we receive the boards we would install them in our already design rack-mountable cases.  The rest of the system is off the shelf components which are readily available.  At the same time we will start our 45nm development project.

So you're buying Avalon chips? Why not mention that here? I thought Avalon was 110nm, so now we're on our fourth different process. Then you're designing your own 45nm chips? What about the 28nm chips you have on your website? If you have designed the machines, where are the pictures? Where are pictures of the rack-mountable cases you already designed? Why is your website filled with photos of people in offices and not pictures of those? If you just put the website together I would think you would have put some effort into it before gauging the market for your $30,000 products. Every detail is going to be scrutinized when you're trying to sell something that costs that much money.

[k9quaint]

For now, I will merely eat some

[Cablez]

Depending on how it all shakes out I might be interested but I refuse to pre-order anything again.  There is no need to gauge interest around here, develop a product that can generate a 'fair' ROI without breaking the bank (or for that matter electricity costs) and you will be swimming in orders before you can upgrade your infrastructure.

Wow, you clearly haven't put any time into this if you can just reduce the cost of your asic by $15,000/50% 20 minutes after someone points out how ridiculous the price is. I thought you had already designed the machines and cases?

We are ready have the machines designed, we just need to spin up the Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)s get the Avalon chips and have them installed on the board.  After we receive the boards we would install them in our already design rack-mountable cases.  The rest of the system is off the shelf components which are readily available.  At the same time we will start our 45nm development project.

That would imply you've done some sort of cost analysis or at least opened Calculator. That one brain cell I had telling me maybe I'm wrong about this just killed itself out of embarrassment.

SPRINGFIELD, MO, – March 23, 2013 – AMC a hybrid mining and development cooperative has announced today that they are in talks with a Major Semiconductor Company which can provide ASIC's with lower up-front development cost, time, and reduced risk which are greatly reduced over other ASIC's. AMC said "With their simplified design flow, the time from RTL to device tape-out is typically only five to ten weeks for prototypes. This enables AMC's designers to bring new Bitcoin mining products on line quickly; then rapidly develop derivative products to cater to the Bitcoin's changing market requirements.

If you want to build asics, build asics. You'll have no problem selling them. But when you start selling shares and giving specs and saying how you can build them "better, cheaper, and faster than the other asics"... it reads scam. Build something, at least a prototype, and then come here and see what the demand is for it. If we have learned anything it is that building asics from scratch might be just a little bit harder than many realize.

By the way, what is "reduced risk which are greatly reduced over other ASIC's"? What risks are you referring to?

[optimator]

Be careful what you are asking.....

Easy math ( not exact, just easy): $15,000 = 150 btc. 400 gh/s = 15 btc / day. Break even = 10 days.

I'll take 10 please.

Ask me when 400 gh/s = 1.5 btc and I'll take zero.

I'll second that - if you can deliver 400ghash now (as stated in your edited original post) I'll take one unit. Deliver next month and I am less interested, deliver in July or August and I'd probably get better $/hash from dyi asics or maybe/possibly BFL in stock items...

An absurd proposition.

So is the minirig, at jally power draws, a minirig needs 9KW of power each. It's a portable fire starter and neighborhood light dimmer, and the power bill will each up a vast amount of profit.

Depending on how it all shakes out I might be interested but I refuse to pre-order anything again.  There is no need to gauge interest around here, develop a product that can generate a 'fair' ROI without breaking the bank (or for that matter electricity costs) and you will be swimming in orders before you can upgrade your infrastructure.

Show us something that works and works well and I will show you an avalanche of new business.

Yes, I know that, but a Major Semiconductor Company does not.

I think a "major semiconductor company" has better research methods than unscientific polls via an internet forum.  just sayin...

And in any case there is more than enough evidence all over bitcointalk of the popularity and interest in asics. But if i see one more "we're building new asics, better than everyone else...are you interested?"  I'm going to have to punch my screen

Truth here - All this semiconductor company would need to do is use google to know they would have instant buisiness - This whole thing smells of scam - Although I will say if a company could make a PCB and use Avalon chips by ordering 200,000 of them and assemble thier own units they could make a ton of money selling them. - If only I had the knowledge and resources to do that

Yes, but they didn't even know what Bitcoin were.

[jorgebuck]

A company called virtual mining didnt know what bitcoins were...then what were you guys mining with all this high tech computer equipment?

and how does that make you the "bitcoin mining experts"

[Gomeler]

I paid slightly less than 30K for my [upgrade] order of two BFL SC miniRigs, with an aggregate hash rate of 3 TH/s - so why would I want to pay 30K for a measly 400 GH/s?

An absurd proposition.

So is the minirig, at jally power draws, a minirig needs 9KW of power each. It's a portable fire starter and neighborhood light dimmer, and the power bill will each up a vast amount of profit.

the average household only can pull 3kw tops if you run everything you have all at once.

That's cute. The average doll house with an easybake oven?

Go check the power consumption of your oven and dryer and come back with your findings. I'd have had serious issues if I was capped at 3kW at my apartment.

Didn't. They do now, and if they were serious about manufacturing chips they would do their own research.

How many units would you buy?

If we could deliver the units NOW.

Specifications:

• Fast-Hash-400's @ 400 GH/s each
• 45nm 6 GH/s chips
• 75 chips per board
• 1 board per unit
• expandable to 4 boards
• expandable to 1.6 TH/s
• Rack Mountable
• Low Power
• ~$15,000

Just trying to get an idea of how many chips we could sell, so as to convince a Major Semiconductor Company that
they need to be in the Bitcoin ASIC chip market.

How do you propose to do this as the company you are working with has just recently heard about bitcoin, and is using a forum poll for research?

Fast-Hash machines keep you up with the Joneses.

Would you be referring to These Joneses?

[firefop]

Assuming that sales was done through a pre-existing company who grows own silicon and they could ship *now*...

I'd take between 8 and 24 units @ 15k each

but the window is closing on this- because soooner or later BFL is going to re-open sales on rigs... and then that money's committed.

Did you put the 24 in the poll?  If not please do.

An absurd proposition.

Yes, you are right, if BFL continues to sell their now 1 TH/s rigs at $30,000, so if that is the case would you buy
at $15,000?

Just trying to see what the interest is here.

I'm not going to buy at a HIGHER price per TH/s than I already have.
I paid $10000 per TH/s.

Thus, I'd be interested in ASIC miners at or below, say, $8000 per TH/s, especially if they draw significantly less power than the BFL ones.

It is good to know that your price point is at $8,000 per TH/s

[rammy2k2]

your site looks like its made for 10$ by a indian .... it sure dosent look like a company who asks 15k for a product ...

[johnyj]

See our Web Site:  http://www.virtualminingcorp.com

Guy on the website looks nowhere near average Bitcoin miner. My usual response upon meeting people looking like him is "No, thanks, bye!"  

Exactly, once I sent a coin to a girl who looks like that woman on their website, and guess what? She lost her mywallet password  

[dust]

• 1 board per unit
• expandable to 4 boards
• expandable to 1.6 TH/s
• Rack Mountable
• Low Power
• ~$15,000

If you could deliver NOW, I would buy as many as I could afford.  However, you aren't delivering NOW, so I am interested in buying exactly zero.

Thus, I'd be interested in ASIC miners at or below, say, $8000 per TH/s, especially if they draw significantly less power than the BFL ones.

Delivery time is much more important than Th/$ or Th/W in the current mining market.

OP, why are you asking what we would pay now if these 45nm products will only be available a year from now?


The "Virtual Mining Corp" site, as well as another site you own, axs.net (can2it), are pretty shady and are not what I would expect from competent engineers and businessmen.

From my observations:

• Optimistic case, you are a BitcoinINV type who has good intentions but is woefully unprepared for the businesses he runs.
  
• Worst case, you are a scammer.

Either way, I find it hard to believe that you will develop your own 45nm ASICs within a year.

You claim the miner is AM3+ compatible, and contains an AMD 8350. Why?

2GB ram, upgradeable to 32GB. Why?

USB 3.0. Why?

To impress newbies?

You are right about the issues with running a minirig off of household power, but it is ridiculous to assert that the power costs of a 9kW 1.5Th/s rig would "eat up a vast amount of profit".  At current difficulty, price, and the average US electricity price ($0.12), power costs would be 0.29% of revenue.  At 76x the current difficulty, it would be 22%, similar to the efficiency of a dual 5970 rig today.
