ROCKMINER - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips

[Anotheranonlol]

We noticed that there is already an asset named of ROCKMINER at Counter Market (http://www.blockscan.com/assetinfo.aspx?q=ROCKMINER) when doing some testing,it is not issued by us,please be aware of it.

It seems that everyone can issue any name of assets in Counter Market.We worry that this would confuse shareholders if we issue shares through this way.

Of course anybody can register any asset name. This is the nature of a decentralized protocol.It was registered few hours after you mention you are considering XCP without reserving it, so somebody decide to take opportunity to squat. Seems it was brought by this user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=245197;sa=showPosts . maybe he will transfer ownership to you.

You would be free to register any other asset name you like, and as long as you mention it is the official address (you can make a signed message with the key, or post announcement) no users need to be confused.
users do not need to be confused about difference between AM1 and AM100 on havelock for instance.

I will be looking forward to buying shares of rockminer via counterparty distributed exchange in future.

Testing Results Of BE200

We've got the results of one good testing board,it seems not  good,but sill can be accepted.We will receive more chips at next weekend if things are going well .

Results:

Board:one chip testing board
Frequency:360Mhz
Volt:0.72V
Hashrate per chip:11.52Ghash
Power consumption:6.375W per chip
Power consumption per Ghash:6.375/11.52=0.5539W/Ghash
After power supply changeover:0.5539/81% = 0.684W/Ghash（at blade）
Power consumption on wall:0.684/0.8 = 0.855W/G
Adding other components loss about 1KW/Thash
Tips:this result is not very accurate just for reference.

good to see that, waiting for the result of final testing.

What do you mean with "it seems not good"?

[rockxie]

I mean it's not as good as we are expecting.

For those wondering comparisons with the competition:

Note: "Efficiency" is comparing the the ROCKMiner test blade with all other hardware. Data was obtained from The Genesis Block. ROCKMiner blade is only after very few, unoptimized tests. It is subject to change.

EDIT: Here are the updated numbers, please let me know of any more issues. Sorry for the confusion all.

EDIT2: I've taken down the chart. I'll repost it again when they have the final specifications. I apologize for any issues.

That list contains hardware that doesn't even exist.

It's from The Genesis Block and I'm aware that all other numbers are purely hypothetical. The only solid numbers from that chart are the ROCKMiner blade, based off of initial tests.

So 11.52 GH for 0.855W? Really? Useless chart is useless.

The Virtual Mining hardware listed are based on the 28nm eASIC design which got cancelled ages ago.

uhm,  how do you get 0.0742 w/gh?    that would be amazing but isn't at all true..  Might want to put the right data in that list.. if i'm not mistaken the real data would put us middle of the pack at best..... 0.855W/G as the rest of this stuff is "at the wall" i think?  Hopefully this is just because of a crude test bench setup..

Franktank thanks for putting things into context, but I think you did not enter the numbers properly: 0.855W is per GH, not for the whole chip.

Yea, I've corrected it but then I've taken down the chart. In my enthusiasm, I hastily plugged in numbers in an excel sheet incorrectly. I'll wait until they have final specs up.

Please keep us updated on additional tests. Do you reckon you're able to improve the consumption? When are you able to perform new tests? Will the new chips be exactly the same as the old ones you tested? How did you cool the chips?

yeah,more info ,more better

Hi all,
   We registered a twitter account to update the small progress and news of RM,if you want get the latest news,please follow https://twitter.com/RockMinerInc.

We've got R-box test PCB now.

got it, move on.

any better numbers?

following this thread to see how this plays out

[mikemikemike]

guys, im really interested in this project. it would be great if you could list it on havelock. they are the most secure of the securities exchanges, are a registered company with visible owners, and the only failing is their servers need upgrading, but im sure this is something that can be sorted out.
