Yet another case of a failed asic company. Nobody knows how to make asics - all that digital junk ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Analog electronic is the only thing that works properly, someone should make a analog miner ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) "Please put down the crack pipe and step away from the microphone, sir!" +1 Indeed! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Aside from some pricing and delivery tricks (but who doesn't want to extract the most $ per chip) - they've been one of the better ASIC companies! Let's see if the rumors about a new Bitfury chip turn out to be true! what rumors? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) my bitfury gear is still hashing, btw.

It came out the wrong way, I think that retro is good and better that all that modern things. Those old record players you can buy, still work after 30 years. But those digital miners. only after 6 month people complaint that they are worthless. Stick to good old stuff, and stay away from the modern scrap.

It's a point of view, it's true and false at the same time.

It's a point of view, it's true and false at the same time. That is because you still only think digital like all those other young kids, 0's and 1's, true and false, same thing. In analog you can have 0-to-1 whit many steps and opinions in between.

It's a point of view, it's true and false at the same time. Analog? Too much newfangled stuff in that too. I say forget solid state and go with thermionic emission in good hard vacuum, with glass bulbs and decent, God-fearin' octal bases. And none of that crazy printed circuit malarkey--make mine point-to-point wired. With EI core transformers you could anchor a boat to. Kids don't even know what 6.3V means anymore ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

I like your idea, all that modern stuff, it breaks down all the time and the miners cannot get roi because their gear is outdated. Back to the good old stuff, mechanics, steam and hydraulic. Also all those tablets, computers and Iphones and what it is called, you should calculate things with a paper and pen instead of all that modern rubbish.

I have a tray of chips and other bitfury gear left over for sale : I have a tray of 260 BitFury chips from the second revision (that's still Gen-1) for sale. Those are the same ones which had reported over 4GH/s. For the sake of perfectionism I'd say you should expect to achieve over 3.5GH with those when pushed, and when running on "power saving mode" should do easily below 0.3-0.4W/GH I am selling it as a full unopened tray. I am not interested in breaking it apart and will not be selling individual chips. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FjJw4uFwm.jpg&t=665&c=2henjqT15R1_IQ) I have a BitFury M-card v3.0 + H-Board PCI v2.2 with heatsink for sale. If that matters to anyone - they're brand new, never used, never powered, still in their original packaging from punin (from bitfurystrikesback.com). Those are leftovers from a previous project that never took off and I don't see any point of keeping them around to collect dust. I also have the Raspberry PI with the original SD card as preloaded by BFSB (which is also in its original box and has never been powered). I don't insist on selling the RasPI as I can still use it for other purposes, but if you want it - it's yours. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FMz25AKpm.jpg&t=665&c=sPL5rWe_A4vDUA) This is just the essential piece. Please see the full posts for more pictures and details.

We want to buy new bitfury ASIC's. Not the old ones!

Under development Modular UPGRADEABLE Miner (MUM). Looking for investors. Changing one PCB with screwdriver and you have brand new miner in hand... Plug&Play, scalable from one module to thousands.

Talk about resurrecting a dead thread. Just let them happily mine with their chips in private as this seems to be the route they've decided to take. You are not going to get their 28nm chips even if they had them. They already paid for the NRE costs with your money and they do not need you anymore.

Oh I dunno, if they're giving them away, I'd be happy to take them - even come pick them up (well, if it's the Amsterdam offices anyway - Estonia is a bit of a drive, even from Berlin, San Francisco..I don't think the Bering Strait is frozen over this time off year, DC.. maybe come October).

+1 What would you have done, being in their spot? Would you have sold Gold-Ass? Furthermore, probably everyone who bought their stuff made the investment back, and in most cases notably more. So no need for bad feelings. But miners with the new chip would indeed be a nice thing ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Name your price, seeing bitmain are in the doldrums and sfards are aiming for your mantle.
