[OPEN] BM1380 Worldwide Chip Groupbuy

[anykeywhy]

Just to pin my interest in 100-300 chips, so many variables as of now but I'm definitely interested!

Cheers & Best Wishes!

Put me down for 128 for now please, I may add more to the order later depending on logistics.

Put my nickname in for
150 chips ( 1.8 BTC ) // 0.012BTC Per chip

As every chip can hash 2.8GH/s @ 1.1v,
total 420 Giga for 150 chips.

@Beastlymac - any updates for this GB?

Currently no Christmas holidays are causing issues with getting quotes.

ok, Merry Christmas guys.

Hi
May be interested in a finished device.

USB 1 chip or 2 chip

similar design to icefury or nanofury (ultra cheap version with usb as part of pcb, if it reduces the cost)

Currently we can't design our own device as we don't have the chip protocol. I would recommend just buying a U1 for now.

I've ordered a U1 from another group buy.  Will sniff out the protocol, if I can.

Any update with these chips? Hands down great chip IF all tech info is made available

No the chip protocol has not been released so we can't replicate the device.

Hi there,

I'd like to purcahse a few hundred ASICs to build a prototype. Has the group buy gotten any traction?

Beastlymac, do you sell prototype lots?

[Cheshyr]

I think this groupbuy is dead without some reverse engineering.  After speaking with Bitmain, they made it apparent they they never intend to release the protocol.  If we want to use the BM1380, we must buy their control board.

Our options at this point are to buy their proprietary equipment, sniff the BM1380 protocol...  or just buy Bitfury's now that they're back in production.  I know which direction I'm going to choose.

Has this gb ever moved? The order is still 1000/10000. (Not being harsh)

Why is your tag "Authorised Bitmain Reseller", did he confirm it? Saw it lol

Thanks

I don't feel like using or even worse reselling someone's black box either.

If they want other people to develop miners using their chips - they must release the entire documentation.

If they just want to keep the monopoly on their chip's usage - they may as well just continue making their own stuff.

I'm perfectly happy with bitfury and A1 for now.

Such a shame you guys didn't get the info you require to move on with projects using this chip.

Its a rock solid alternative to a bitfury. I would even go as far as to say better Quality and stability
