Bitfury Begins Shipping 400 GH/s Bitcoin Miners to US and EU Customers
Bitfury’s resellers have begun shipping their 400 GH/s “Full Kits” to customers. After initial accounts of prototypes successfully mining on August 2nd, full production units are now ready. Over the last year Bitfury, a Russian ASIC bitcoin mining manufacturer, has been quietly developing a 55nm ASIC chip that runs around 3 GH/s. Bitfury sold bulk quantities of chips to US and EU distributors who partnered with “100 TH/s”, a publicly traded mining company, to develop fully functional units. The ASIC chips must be set in printed circuit boards (PCB) and are controlled using a Raspberry Pi.

The first batch of sales were initially projected to arrive at the end of August and commanded a significant premium over October deliveries. Full kits consist of a master board (“M board”) and 16 hashing boards (“H boards”) that plug into the master board. Additionally, the controlling Raspberry Pi and an ATX power supply are included in the Full Kit. Starter Kits include everything listed above but only 1 “H board”.
The boards and chips were manufactured in China before being distributed to Bitfury who resells through Metabank in Russia, MegaBigPower for the US region, or Bifury Strikes Back for the EU region. Russia was the first to receive chips and begin mining, and have gradually adding hashing power before passing 130 TH/s this weekend in the Bifury mining pool GHash.io.
Russian chips used their own proprietary boards, while the US/EU customers received boards developed in conjunction with 100 TH/s (which has now become 200 TH/s). This public company has a deal to receive 200 TH/s of the early production Bitfury chips, and has already begun receiving dividends from test units. Dave Carlson, in charge of US region sales, reported that around 200 Full Kits were sold for both the August and October deliveries, with August representing about 50 units or 20 TH/s.
Bitfury will clearly have a large impact on the network, but the full amount has not been disclosed. Over 400 TH/s are likely from their pre-assembled units over the next two months, but it is likely that any large-scale orders would be through their bulk chip orders. Bitfury sold lots of 3,000 chips (around 9 TH/s total) for $330,000 on August deliveries and $60,000 on October deliveries. Amid Avalon’s two-month delays with few pre-orders arriving out of the 800,000 chip backlog, Bitfury could emerge as the dominant ASIC mining chip manufacturer until companies like KNC, HashFast and CoinTerra release their 28nm at the end of this year.

Bitfury的经销商开始发货单台算力400G的矿机给他们的客户，在8月2日Bitfury的样机成功后，现在所有产品都准备好了，可以开始发货。在过去的一年时间里Bitfury一家俄罗斯ASIC比特币矿机生产商开发出了一种55nm的ASIC芯片，单片算力能够达到3GH/S,Bitfury向美国和欧洲出售了大约100T算力的芯片，这些芯片被安装在PCB板上通过树莓派控制。
第一批订单预计在8月底发货，承诺超过10月交付的客户将得到可观的赔偿，400G矿机的全部套件由一个主控板和16个运算板插在底座上组成，树莓派和电源模块也包涵在发货的全套件中，入门级的产品包括了上述的全部部件，但只有一个运算板。
(Bitfruy400G矿机和蝴蝶25G矿机放在一起）
在发送给Bitfury前，电路板和芯片都是在中国制造，然后再在俄罗斯通过Metabank经销，在美国通过MegaBigPower销售，在欧洲通过 Bifury Strikes Back销售，俄罗斯订购者近水楼台先得月首先开始挖掘，他们已经在这周末之前向全网贡献了130T的算力通过Bitfury的矿池 GHash.io.
俄罗斯芯片用他们自己设计的运算板，然后欧洲和美国将会用他们自己的电路板，厂商已经为100T算力准备好了电路板（现在已经变成200T），这些公司已经在之前定了Bitfury200T算力的芯片，甚至有些已经开始发放用测试机挖掘出的股息，Dave Carlson美国经销商的负责人说：大约200套400G的全套件已经售出包括8月和10月发货的订单，其中8月发货的订单有50套约20T
毫无疑问Bitfury产品的发货将给比特币网络带来巨大的影响，但订单总数他们仍然没有公布，估计有超过400T算力的的设备将在接下来的2个月内陆续交付，很有可能大额订单占据了其中的大部分。Bitfury已经卖出了3000片8月交货的芯片（约9T算力）约合33万美元，和6万美元10月交货的芯片。avalon已经有80万片芯片推迟交货两个月，Bitfury可能将占具ASIC的采矿芯片制造商的主导地位，直到像KNC公司，HashFast和CoinTerra在今年年底释放他们的28nm产品。
