ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[ning]

Do we actually know the (probable) foundry AM is using for gen 3 or has been using for gen 1?

According to this [1] document, gen1 was produced by a fab in Shanghai, China.

And gen3 is produced by TSMC [2].

A timer doesn't necessarily mean anything, this one above had been reset a few hours ago to allow one more day.

spec of size: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B11fvFT7Sd5bUV90cFN4cEhTNEk/edit?usp=sharing

The package is based on the engineering batch of 9mmx9mm. Part of our chips might be changed to 8mmx8mm or 7mmx7mm in mass production batches.

For some reason the post disappeared. Maybe it was an intentional leak?

Here is a mirror:

Yes, looks like a phishing link

[szmarco]

Maybe he is preparing a more detailed release.

[bitcoin.newsfeed]

Code:

The typical hash power is ~12GH/s in rated mode.

looks ok to me !

but other specs are spanish village for me, maybe someone with required knowledge in chip design can confirm if 0.72V, 0.35J/GHash are met?

Havelock will be out for a wile , untill DDoS'ers will get their cheap shares. Popcorn and waiting for the next update form Grilled Cat.

[minerpumpkin]

This is, again, surreal. There's the anticipated (again removed) update and everyone's like "Yeah... Looks good. This is it." Even Havelock is rather quiet.

I'm curious, did Friedcat happen to post a response on bitcointalk and bitcointa.lk? Very odd that the post is only up on bitcointa.lk

It was on Bitcointalk. He must have deleted it.

ok now any speculation as to where all the coins have come from? Last I checked there were roughly 70BTC yesterday..
