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

[andrey82]

I dunno, couldn't even return a Whois on it.

On the UK news they were saying Microsoft and Google were going to filtering out child porn in the UK today.

Once a government starts censoring information it never just stops at the intended target.

Maybe it's got caught up in the great firewall of Britain they're building. It's getting more like China here every day!    

try to ping without the www.

OK, so the domain has been registered, but no DNS A record has yet been created for the "www" host.

That doesn't mean they can't set one up at a moment's notice.

@Bitmain When are you planing to launch your webshop ?
 Will the boards be stackable ?
 Around what time frame do you plan to launch your sale ?

They have delayed grand opening and decided to self mine with all the units they can get assembled. Those will be available for sale when difficulty reaches 1000 MM providing that btc stays under 1000$!

The first batch of USB hopefully will be available in the next 10 days. I will start a group buy when I receive the miners since I am their official reseller for USB.

That is probably even true  but I am sure they won't ship before difficulty reaches 1000 MM...as this will be very soon.

Interesting you already have an idea of pricing ?

Not sure about the actual pricing yet, and I don't want to spread any false informations/pricing about it. However I will be accepting Paypal. I will keep you guys updated when I get any more information

Where are you going to ship out of?

[reactor]

Do we yet have any verification on this hardware from senior/hero members or the folks maintaining our software?

I care about that more than pricing or a web store right now.

I am in the UK and for now I will be serving EU orders only, however for overseas you can pm me for custom quotes (shipping blablabla...) I will be going back to Hong Kong and hopefully meet up with the company and get some stock if i sold out my 1st batch.

Hopefully I can test those products before shipping and give you guys a sneak-peak, maybe make a youtube video about it.

Guys!  Go get your BTCBTCBTC!!!  This company is VERY REAL and the 1st batch sale is imminent. (This is NOT a pre-sale but the miners in stock!!!)

Priced to Profit from Bitcoin Mining.  I can't disclose the actual price yet...  

After a long journey, I met with “BITMAIN”, “Ktzhan” and others at Bitmain’s Office.  (11-17-2013 Chinese Time)

I was privileged to see their operations. Due to the security concerns, No face photos at the office and little blurred PCB boards photos.  Here you go!

FYI: I couldn't get their address ahead of time.  They came and got me and took me there...  A bit scary at that time, not knowing where they were taking me.  But, I couldn't believe what I saw in there!!!

I will return to their office and factory tomorrow for more update.

Now, the machine is mining at 141.49 GH/S with the prototype unit at the lab.  There are few software bugs that they are working on to increase the speed a bit more. (This is under dual blades configuration.)





The temperature of the actual unit was 45.6 degree Celsius (114.08 degree Fahrenheit) while in operation.



I found the room and the work bench they took all the photos here as well!  Same equipment, same tables and the same green mat with cuts on them at their lab!

Here are a few photos to show you I’m not a Chinese national or Hong Kong Citizen (Resident) or who lives and works in these countries. (I did black out personal identifying info from the photos.








BITCOIN DONATION IS APPRICIATED to COVER THE TRAVEL EXPENSE.

MORE MYTH BUSTER VISITS ARE ON THE WAY FOR THE PROMISSING MINERS!


This trip costed 4.3 Bitcoins in airfair, hotel and local transportaions...  (not including the food, the times and painfull butt on the seat for many hours and lovely sensual forplay TOUCH by the USA Airport Security called TSA during the transit through USA.  blue uniform people!  They know how to touch people in the right spot in public!)

 So ... any updates from day #2 visit to the factory ...? You promised some news 2 days before. I didnt saw anything, maybe I am wrong?

Hi guys,

Thank you for the support.  Here you go!

Congrad to the hard working Bitmain Team for bringing this miner to a realty.  For the past 48 hours, they were working non-stop & slept may be 3 hours a day or less.  I saw the engineers crashed and passed out on the factory hallway or some were working and discussing the business but  just faded out and passed out for a while. (those guys had high spirits the whole time with a great team work!!! 

In China, Youtube is not accessible.  I had the VPN set up thinking thats how I was going to bypass that issue, the internet I had access to was blocked from the VPN use.  Now worked around the issues.

Their website is purposely off-line until the day they will take orders for the packaged up & ready to ship miners.  They now do have those units and I saw them and saw the units fresh out of the production lines went to the quality control and the burn-in tests.

Let me sort the photos and videos to make sure none of them have any personal identifying info or sensitive business info on them.

Just hang in there!  They are doing thing the right way.  Trying to push out a high quality miners.  

Since, we decided to run the myth buster role playing, we decided to brand the videos with the domain name.

If this helped you in any way, please consider donations for the future myth buster (early scam/loss prevention) measure we are trying to do.  2013 was a brutal year for the miner investment with the pre-orders.

Wow dude, that was cool hahahaha. Still doesn't proof anything though

That's a waste of 1 full minute...Please post only relevant videos. Thank you.

[sushi]

In a few days, I will post video, photos and the screenshots of the miner in action.  Actually I have one of the unit in my hand.  I will run the test far far away from China to show you they did delivered the working unit!

If you are still in denial, place the order, then give me the right to take over your units. (I will reimburse you for that!    NOT!
I would love to do that but that would be unethical as I know what their miners can do!)

Stay tuned, they will blow your mind in the future as well!

PS: Please pay close attention of the chis and the PCBs.  They have the logo ad some with printed date on them. 

I snapped the photo of a mountain consists of the packaging boxes but that will be the off limit as it will show too much info related to their business operations.  They will make the official announcement in the coming days. 

The machines are hashing as high as in 190's range.  One photo shows 179GH/S.


tell me what you need to see to believe it! 

PMs are welcome!

Put up the raw photos and videos that you used to compose that Youtube vid, that's a good start.

No need to PM you; if you're serious about doing a good service to the community, do it all out in the open.

Totally. Please refund the one minute of my life I wasted watching your video, Sushi. If Bitmain are real you honestly just did them a massive disservice by making a shady video of them. Why would you upload that junk but be unable to post the originals?  You really don't have a clue do you?
