The picture posted above is an evaluation board or development board for developers, not for end user.

There was a press conference last week in Beijing, where participants can buy those boards and chips.
And those boards are delivered to developers in other part of China this week.

There is no detail information of miners for end user by now. The only info for USB miner is that one USB miner is equipped with 4 or 5 chips, depending on the temperature and cooling design. And USB miner is powered externally with an additional power cable.

That's all the info I know by now. I will let all of you know when new info is published.
I'm Chinese, and I'll do the translator job for all of you don't understand Chinese. Hope my translation is better than Google's. Cheesy

BTW, I brought two development boards and they should be delivered to me in one or two days. I'll post my experience after some testing.
Super!

Can you share with us what was the cost of dev boards?

Thank you

At the press conference, the dev board is 500CNY each, and 400CNY for one chip only.
It's ~82USD each dev board, and ~65USD each chip.

You can check chip's datasheet here: https://github.com/gridseed/gc3355-doc and calculate its $/GHash

Personally, I hope the miner's price will be much lower than $65/chip. But there are still many people think the price will remain the same.

Unfortunately 65 USD/chip for mass production is not a deal for me. Let us hope that they will lower the price when time comes.

Do you think you could ask them if they're using 512Kbit or 256Kbit of memory per core? I'm curious if they're using "lookup gap" 2 or 3.

Very cool stuff.

Definitely interested in LTC and BTC as well.

Hybrid approach is very creative.


It would be, if it was produced one year ago. They missed BTC train, and additional scrypt power will not be enough to catch up. I would bet on solo scrypt ASIC, not on hybrid...

The chips only cost a few dollars each to produce, so there's a big margin for profit there...  It'll come down to be competitive, same as before with ASICMINER.

Shure they will do, but they will become of no interest for us even if they are free, because just money and time spent to make them mine will never pay out. I am not talking about profit at all

Sorry to inform you all. Still no updates on their products.

But they were looking for some resellers in China a couple of weeks ago. International resellers will be open for application later on (hopefully...)

I would like to apply to be an International reseller later on.

Check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397831.0 and jump onboard while difficulty is still low. Or at least get fully synced
wallet (it helps the network so thanks in advance!) and some MED for free over https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=398948.0

theres nothing here. message me if you want to put something here.

Hi,

Can somebody please PM me that has contacts with these people. We are very interested. Currently we have a pilot running with 80 GPU servers. We want to expand bigtime.

Thanks.

Pilot is 1.2TH Scrypt mining lab. Maybe 50000 of these chips with 1/40 of the GPU powertake.
This Scrypt Hashpower would translate to around what 2000 AMD GPU cards.. with powertake +300kwh..
Just rough numbers i could assume wrong. but hey i would wanna see that 2000 GPU farm  Grin

7 watts for 360kh/s scrypt mining isn't bad ... compared to my GPUs lol

Takes a nose dive when doing BTC at the same time though, 60 watts.

Time to start hoarding LTC?

That page says shipping in May, doesn't it? Hard to read. Those are beautiful little miners though, if they make them in mass quantity and start shipping quickly, they will be a hot seller.
