[ANN]ASICMiner Publicly Looking for Potential Customers/Partners for New Chips

[Kaega]

Just you wait

... perhaps BitFury purchases in non-US work out better.  From miners to miners is a bad tagline based on current pricing.

I heard a rumor Bitfury 2 would be here by March, sample chips end of February. I cannot wait to see what Punin brings to this fight!  It's on!

Just let AM supply the canary  with tons of 7gh usb sticks at a good price.  I will be a happy camper.

7Gh/s - how do you figure that?  shouldn't they be 10-12 Gh/s?  I can't remember if I did my math right...

next usb miner coming yay

yeah if a 5gh bitfury chip hashes at 2.6gh in an ice fury or red fury    these should hash at 5gh-6gh

Out of curiosity - what makes you think that the bitfury chip should hash at 5-6GH?

First post in bitfury thread     
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228677.0

Preliminary specs - each chip would give roughly 5 GH/s performance.

There is not important "how many Ghas", if you will be able to buy chips and use open projects "to do it self", it save more than 50% from USB or Miner price

Preliminary specs - each chip would give roughly 5 GH/s performance.

The post you're referring to was made while they were waiting for the first chips from the fab and actually didn't know for sure how were they going to perform.

This is what Bitfury said about the design of the chip:

Finally die dimensions chosen: 3.8x3.8mm
Package: QFN48
Performance: 3.3 GH/s _rated performance_, about 7 GH/s maximum
Power consumption: 1 W at _rated_ performance @ 0.6 V, 6 W _maximum_ performance @ 1.0 V.
Thermal characteristics of package: 2 K / W junction-to-pcb and 34 K / W junction-to-ambient.

and I'll have to look for the other post where he said that there was a bug on the die and because of that they couldn't get the double performance (7GH).

Also, there are very few people that have actually achieved even the 3.3GH as that requires very very precise conditions, and even reaching 3GH is quite a challenge. Most chips perform fine and start hitting the limits in the 2.5-2.7GH range.

I just wanted to set the record straight so that people don't have the wrong expectations.

We are very interested in a partnership going forward.  We run an institutional mine and have quite a bit of capital to invest into a wholesale relationship for chips.

Please consider us. Thanks.

To repeat again:

"FC asked for PMs or emails, not questions in this thread"

And people who can't even read simple instructions, won't likely be good partners for anything.

I've done both, as I would prefer not to fall through the cracks on this.

Good idea. Emails can get eaten by spam folders ...... caused some 'missed' emails to FC recently it seems.

Just let AM supply the canary  with tons of 7gh usb sticks at a good price.  I will be a happy camper.

7Gh/s - how do you figure that?  shouldn't they be 10-12 Gh/s?  I can't remember if I did my math right...

Note all my estimates are rough not exact!

I am thinking they will undervolt to keep a stick in the 2.5 watt range.

this was done with the antminer u-1 chip vs the the antminer s-1 chip.  same chip lower volts and lower freq settings for the chip in the sticks.

same chip the usb stick is undervolted a bit and the the freq is set lower.


the antminer  usb stick gets 2 gh pretty easy after that it is too hard on most hubs .



same is true with the cubes vs the be sticks  the am cube pull more gh per chip due to more power and better cooling.

Still a usb stick in the 6-9gh  range vs the 1.6- 2.0 range is a big boost.

You don't think they will design usb sticks for more than 2.5 watts? USB 3.0 is becoming pretty standard now and hubs are able to supply closer to the standard of 900 mA per port (4-4.5 watt). I wouldn't be surprised if asicminer provided adequet hubs for additional cost either.

I'm not sure AM will be focusing on the USB stick market anymore.

Maybe not, but a third party will probably will make one with AM chips. I'm interested in a dual chip miner though, like the bifury or twin fury usb's. A 15-20 gh/s Usb miner would sell.

unlike USB 2.0, USB3.0 hubs/ports/devices are not all adhering to the max power output per port.

If you want to do it do it right and get a blade of some sort. USB sticks are a waste of time and energy figuratively and literally.

Replacement boards for the ASICminer Cube?

How cool would that be!?  

That would be too good to be true  

+1 That would be awesome!

At the risk of repeating myself, FriedCat asked for enquiries via PM or email. If you just post in this thread, chances are he won't see it.

[Gator-hex]

Are these power estimations for real??  Ridic!  I Think ill grab me a reel or two.

The A1 chips you're selling were quoted as "0.35J/20GHash" too. Look how that turned out!  

[Bicknellski]

Anyone actually contact FriedCat? Seems like 100's of PMs and emails and no one got a reply.

No answer I insist, probably he found a big investor and don't need us anymore.
