Guys I'm super excited about this personally and want to help as much as I can!
I'll discuss internally if and how BitFury could contribute to this project. Our reference design PCB for 16nm is almost done and could be used as a starting point should BitFury's chip be selected.
Again nice words, but zero acting. What would be the minimum amount of $ required in order to sell chips to the forum hardware manufacturers?
Bitfury wants $1m upfront for a batch of their chips if that's what you are asking
Well that is already known information. But judging from what punin said I thought that he might lower that huge amount of money for the forum buyers/integrators. That would be really helpful instead of free empty words.
Yeah. And at the same time, it would give Bitfury some good publicity. So everybody wins.
I think it would be a win for sure. I think this project needs Bitfury to be a homerun. If it get's Bitfury and beats out others on shipping date and efficiency.... this would be one really nice miner. Also gives us little guys chance at miners which is ultimately what we all want.
It would be great to see it. I think Bitfury will win the big data center's over on gear unless Bitmain pulls something amazing out of their hat on a chip. SP50.... already beat before even out. It will be interesting to see where this ranks on their to-do list.
