A picture of your upcoming products surely would do some good right about now. 

They sign in a lot on their username.  But all news seems pretty quiet.  I would love to know specs or see pictures.

It maybe at these low (imho) BTC and LTC prices they are simply not ready to jump in the pool yet..not worth it....especially if they plan to

use the miners to mine their own farm...it just may not be worth doing yet at the current prices for BTC and alts

(heck I'd stall too at these prices especially if I had investors)

not that I know zip...just saying we are hearing nothing from anyone on new equip and that includes KNC's private chip 16nm taped out feb 2nd
supposedly...me thinks a lot of folk may have some stuff ready to at least kinda sorta 'pop' but are sitting on their hands

seems prudent imho


Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Well if you build asics and you see how the alt coin market was crushed last year by a flood of cheap mining gear you would be very likely to just mine some of you gear for 2 months in a place like Washington State (5 cent power)
I suspect more then one company has figured to add some gear and mine it till it pays itself off. Watching for not overgrowing the market.  Ie add 1-5 ph not 100 ph

Is that even possible if you've already put in chip orders? You'd be saving in chip -> miner costs but likely lose overall.

Companies call it testing for a couple weeks.... ie product may have dust on it.  Who knows maybe they're recouping some cost before they sell it dirt cheap to us.  One can hope.

They made a fortune off of them and the blades.  I still can remember some amazing setups with ton's of those circle gridseeds.  Was pretty amazing to see.

I still have hope for Sfards but I don't thing the product is on a rush to make it.  Why we an guess but no one really knows.

Well it doesn't need to rush now does it? Mining isn't changing at the speed it was once before.

If you read what I said I don't think they are on a rush.  With btc prices I'm guessing they are trying to do R/D as cheap as possible.  And in the end get as much profit as possible.

But it's sad they started out so good, looked promising about being open.  Now we hear nothing.

Doesn't make you feel to welcomed, could be a sign of the new joint ownership merge.  Unpleasant it is, yes unpleasant.

Yeah I wish we had a bit more information on what was going on.

prices are poor so

A) they are waiting to build
B) they built and are mining hoping to get some money back before they sell it
C) an unknown

Pick your choice.  It is not that complicated.


This is what most of us long term miners are thinking.

I will buy 1 or two and hope for prices to jump. I hope the day I get it prices jump and this gear doubles in price. I will mine for a while then sell it.

At this point we can see we will not be getting information.  I think they announced when they were exited about merger thinking it would get some good PR for them.   I don't think they planned it out as far as what they would do next.

They would have been better off not saying anything and working in quiet.  In my opinion at least.

Ive never understood this miner mentality...why are you wasting your money on miners if you think the price will jump? Your barely going to ROI if you buy hardware now as it is if ever, so why are you not buying the coin and holding it?

Thats the problem with this community...everyone is in for profit...if half the miners actually stopped mining and bought coin with the thousands they would spend on miners then the price would start going up. More buyers instead of miners = upward price pressure and less dumping to fiat from miners = win/win.

Stop feeding the chines trolls and actually support crypto.

There are tax benefits for purchasing machines over purchasing the coin outright.

Are most of the benefits if you lose capital?   If you hit ROI I would think you would not have much tax benefit, unless you had some weird depredation scheme being used.

Yup.

Unless you got literally millions you are not going to be making anything in mining.

Hobby or education sure that is a valid reason to buy miners on the smaller economy of scale say 1 to 30 units let us say.

Update 30/4/15:

SFARDS is now opening up the ASIC SF3301's datasheet for developers and anyone interested in the technology. One of our main goals is to allow numerous developers to test our new technology in a variety of environments, allowing for a truer test of the SF3301's boundaries and possibly finding an even more optimal running condition that we have yet discovered.

In addition to this we have made a number of sample chips available, more details including pricing to be released on 4th May.
