Re: KnCMiner declares bankruptcy due to increased competition, upcoming halving
Anybody with inside knowledge?
Just curious, what went wrong with the 0.06 J/GH 16nm Solar ASIC?
They claimed to have it since when? Beginning of 2015?
How can a company with this piece of alien hardware loose the mining competition?
Even if Bitfury delivers its 16nm ASIC in about 2 weeks
, the Solar ASIC would still be more efficient!
And even including Swedish energy taxes they should have <$0.06/kWh power costs in northern Sweden!
Was this Solar ASIC just FUD?
Was KNC not able to create a working miner based on it?
Or is the ASIC too expensive caused by low 16nm yield?

Very good question. Is there any proof that they really have 16nm-chips? Their share of the hashrate is/was small...
