ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[eb3full]

thanks for the update, friedcat. it is well appreciated. awesome work!

eb3full or some other board memeber: would you care to share some details?

Like friedcat said, full deployment will take place in the first week or two. I think we'll have a better idea in a few days how long it'll take to deploy all of the boards.

The exchange is still slated to happen after the first dividend.

thanks!
wasn't it before the first dividend?

Sorry! The plan is after deployment, but before the first dividend.

BFL is going to be last to the game.  Just fantastic.

Well, there's 64 chips on that board. If 30GH/s per 95 chips is right, 800 hashing units would be 16.2TH/s

It gets even better. The chips may in fact be able to be clocked much higher than they planned for. So we could be looking at doubling the current hashrate overnight if we're lucky (pre-Avalon, anyways).

[eb3full]

I believe the 800 boards are the full 12TH from the first batch, which will come online gradually.

[Transisto]

I propose a vote for brigning shareholder with 2500+ on the board.

I vote Yay !  

[Dhomochevsky]

Are the 800 boards more or less 12TH/s?

It would seem like it... 12TH/s and 800 boards means about 15GH/s per board; judging by the looks of those boards it's quite likely.

[SebastianJu]

12TH... how much is the hashrate in total that avalon shipped?

[creativex]

156Gh confirmed. 20+Th(68-88Gh*300) in batch 1, though nobody seems to have an accurate count on how much of that capacity has shipped.

[smracer]

Is ASICMiner going to run all these boards in one warehouse? How much power just for the 800 boards? 200-400KW?
They will also need some pretty impressive AC units to keep it cool.

[keystroke]

Looks like the network speed is back down to 22.53 Thash. Might we be the first to get all capacity online?

They better hope not, or they're nowhere near their 4.2J/GH mark. Even if they put out 20TH/s, that would be 10-20J/GH.

Personally, I -- and you -- should be far more interested in the transparency of the mining rules.  This is a lot of hashpower concentrated into one operator's hands.

What bitcoind version will be used to generate blocks?

What patches will be applied, if any?

Further up in the thread friedcat said hes going to be mining on multiple pools to sidestep the issue. IMO, he should just deploy p2pool and just mine on that, 100%.

That refers to avalon right? Doesnt sound good when avalon already shipped, and will run, 20+TH in the next days. While asicminer, if it is running fully, only will have 12TH, which is slightly the half. Competition will eat a good chunk away.
Whatever... dividends will still be good enough...

AValon haven't actually shipped anywhere near 20 TH.  Their annoucement may have said that they'd shipped - but if you read it more carefully you'll find they only actually confirmed shipping 2 boxes, with the rest supposedly trickling out over the next month.  The topic title led me to expect a picture inside of them rolling up to customs/DHL with a trcuk-load of boxed ASICs - the reality was rather different (they seem confused about the diference between "have shipped" and "have started shipping").

Good to hear if thats true. I couldnt help me, after all the experiences in bitcoin world, to think that it would be an opportunity to build up something that looks like an asicbox, ship it to a friend and he claims that he get the first boxes. This would probably jumpstart the sales in the next time. If you want to scam... I mean avalon started after asicminer started as far as i remember and they still are first? Its a bit strange.

guys I know alot of false talks aboit asics is allover the place. But can anyone ask Slush if this guy is legit? He claims an Avalon asic with 67ghps+ mining on slush pool! For pics or didnt happen giys, he did post some pics that dont really show anything.
