Very interesting, kept the easy and simplicity of the older chip. Voltage around the edges, ground belly pad and a few comm pins.
What happens if a chip fails on the voltage side of the string? The older chip would fail and raise the voltage on the rest of the sting until they reached their melting point.
On the other hand I like this design, it seems that this way if a chip fails you only lose comm to only that chip. Unlike most miners if 1 chip drops you lose comm to the remaining chips in the chain, drastically rendering your miners hash power by 1/3 or 1/2.
I cant wait to see more chips/miners maybe even purchasing a miner down the road depending on what happens. I know I loved my older bitfury gear, quiet and simple not to mention if a board or chip failed you didn't lose a good amount of hashing power. I know a lot of guys would love to play and test with the new 16nm chip, I would too but hell I would still tinker with the 28nm one.
Sad as the gear I purchased from your company (bitfury chips were in it) was good gear just came along too late.
Please let us know who was the integrator that used our chips and delivered late? What website did you purchase from?
I purchased a few 55nm rev 2 chips from bitfurystrikesback when they were hot and they got shipped to someone 2 states over and they opened the package. By the time they returned it to the shipper and I received it, the chips were out of their packaging loose in the cardboard package and I was never able to use them, I sent them an email they replied back
IT WOULD BE OK........ no chips or btc, not even a real sentence to my issue.
