Re: [GUIDE] B's The Least Biased & Opinionated Miner Sellers Trustworthiness Guide
Asicminer chips on hold rumor has it.As little information seems to be officially coming out on the ASICMINER / FriedCat front we all are left wondering about the companies future.
Mystery in Bitcoinland . the disappearance of FriedCat

Can anyone confirm/deny?
I can verify I heard this too from an inside source...the project is on hold until FC reappears
Someone should check if the coins that were moved from the various AM wallets ended up in known exchanges addresses.
TO cost + initial wafer ordering will be anything between $2.5M and $10M
Again, disclaimer: Un-based speculation, no source behind it, just me thinking.
Did you just hint big time?
Also doing this as a smoke screen to hide a new chips development could be news.
Seems like BITMAIN thinks he didn't order up anything according to their spies.
Certainly something to work through for those with a BLOODHOUND and some sparetime.
Chip hype...
I would like offer a best ever miner design in exchange for such chip. What I mean of 'ideal miner'. Manufacturing costs for miner will be only around 1/5 of overall price. 4/5 of price will be net cost of chips.
Miner will run at high voltage with great efficiency ~95%.
I have prototypes for different current chip manufacturers, so I can provide proof if needed. Also I have a farm for personal use that employ such technology.
But if i can design working 14-16 nm chip i sale patent right in first year 100$ by chip and colect 20-30 bilion $ second year by apple,samsung,AMD,Intel and all other smartphone company.

you must contact http://www.tsmc.com/english/default.htm tsmc produce chip You must have only $ in advance cuple year.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying bitcoin chip designers should be working toward a FinFET 14-16 nm chip. I've read that there are two companies getting close.... and one company has reached tapeout saying the chip is 0.07 W/GHS???:

Maybe we won't see these 2 manufacturers with the super efficient mining rigs using the FinFET16 chip for a few or several months?:

All in all, it looks like a new "chip efficiency race" is ready to begin??
or
Is it all hype???
Bottomline:
Most miners love what Bitmain has done for the industry. If these new super efficient chips are close to becoming a reality, then Bitmain is likely exploring/developing them too.... so that they can maintain their share of the market.
