Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip

[ktzhan]

2) In your specs (page 7), I see the absolute max rating for core voltage is 1.2V. It made me wonder if it's safe to push to 1.2V for higher GH/s rating with proper cooling in place

3) Will your controller be able to allow for additional blades, such as 8 blades chained together to one controller? (8 blades x 90GH/s would give us 720GH/s hashing output.)

2): maybe, but we can't guarantee it.
3): We are not sure so far, since there is no more time to do further testing. more detailed information will be updated.

When will you post some prices?

Everyone is asking for the prices info for AntMiner blades/kits.

Bitman/AntMiner: Before you post the price, please study the competitor's miners:

Hope you will have good prices for us when you make the price announcement.

Sorry, if I might be blind, but: do you guys mentioned a url for your website? didn't find any when reading all 5 pages...
anyway: looks interesting.

FAQ updated

Is AntMiner a stand alone miner or does it need a computer for running?

Standalone.

Do you ship the power supply with the AntMiner or do I need to buy one for it?

We do NOT ship the power supply, and you need to buy one.

Can I use one power supply for two or more of the AntMiner units or each AntMiner needs one power supply unit to run?

Yes, you can use one power suplly for two or more, but make sure the PSU is not overloaded.

A url for you website?

The online shop is still under construction, It will be bitmaintech.com.

Friendly Bump:

Out of curiosity, how big is your first batch, and what kind of production volume do you hope to achieve?

We hope your price is reasonable and we need to pay by paypal or credit cards and  only sell when you have stocks.

I think everyone is waiting for a company with fair pricing and available stock. 

From our experience, if you don't sell these chips under production costs, there will be a lot of people complaining of unfair pricing.

"Overpriced" = Default setting currently.

Yes, but I can't really blame most of the companies at this point.  33.58% difficulty for the last two months makes it hard on them.

Professional company, and so great communication with the community.

Looking forward to the ants.

Yes, is none other than the AntsMiner for many Ants doing the mining or AntMiner for single or solo Ant mining. Interesting name.

When will we get a gnat miner?

[BITMAIN]

In the last three days, we were debuging our software to make it work at the multiple chain mode properly. At first, we find that every the chip on the board is working at 350MH/s, but the total speed just cannot add up. 32chip*2.8GH/s should be 90GH/s, but in the pool our miner only reads 60~64GH/s. So I don't need to mention the hard work our engineers have had.

In the last hour, we located the big bug in the software, as well as other small bugs. At minutes ago, our miner reads 100.79GH/s. (Theoretically should be 89.6GH/s)

So please expect in stock miners very soon. Now we are going out to have some beers

Not to rain on your parade, but that small a sample of shares doesn't show the "real" hashrate, for it can still fluctuate more than 20% or so in either direction. Post the stats again after 24 hours to get a more accurate estimate.

Anyway, congrats on beers well deserved. This looks promising.

[BenTuras]

... Now we are going out to have some beers  

Enjoy! and congrats on the results till now!

[RoadStress]

... Now we are going out to have some beers  

Before starting sales could you please post prices and payment options and delivery times?

[dan99]

They work hard and deserve our thanks, please add in some videos to youtube  hope you could get consistent results after 24 hour.. The Ants doing great

Yeah,

congrats and btw, tell us how much electricity it is using at 100 GHs...

looking good, nice work.

Congrat!

I think this company will be the KnC of the East!  Working round the clock to produce the profitable miners in-stock.

As I mentioned in the earlier thread, I will meet with them today!  I'm so excited and can;t sleep

I made it to Hong Kong, now I think I have to go get the Chinese VISA to enter the real china!

Busuness stand point, not like other companies, they are very responsive and it appeared they are trying to please the customers with the good working unit!

I will update what I see!

[BadAss.Sx]

Waiting for your update!!
