Hi everyone,
It’s been a crazy 48 hours. On Tuesday March 18th, we officially announced the launch of our Neon series of Scrypt-based currency miners. At the time, we spec’ed our systems to outperform the miners from Alpha Technology with twice the amount of hashing power at 50% the energy consumption per kH, which was the best offering on the market.
Yesterday, we learned that KnC was launching Titan, a Scrypt miner with aggressive performance at an attractive price point. Although Titan cannot mine Scrypt-N currencies such Vertcoin and other ‘ASIC resistant’ coins nor optimize which currency is being mined at the hardware level as with our Neon miners, we were impressed nonetheless. The KnC team comprise of very talented guys with a respected track record. Thus, we went back to the whiteboard with a big pot of coffee and thought hard about how we could further improve our product offering.
We figured it out.
With some changes to our PCB boards (full-length vs. half-length cards) and stuffing more boards into the existing chassis, we effectively doubled the hashing power of each model. We decided rename the models to avoid confusion and all the while, keeping prices the same! Everyone who purchased our miners in the past couple days has been automatically upgraded to the larger models.
We are really excited to share more details about Neon, as we plan to be more active in the cryptocurrency community so you should start seeing us more at tradeshows, meetups, and very soon hosting Google Hangout sessions.
