Who is Bitfury?

Bitfury is an individual based in russia who popped on the bitcoin Scene in May of 2012. He created a FPGA miner with 360 Spartan 6 processors producing 110-135Gh/s using 10Kw of power. Since he has appeared on the scene one thing can be said of his posts; they are highly technical and he knows what he’s talking about. In April of 2013 he announced the creation of a 65nm asic (There is evidence he was working on the design prior to the announcement). Since then he has been working to perfect the creation of the 65nm bitcoin asic device targeting a fully optimized design with impressive power figures.

Who is Metabank.ru?

Metabank is a Bitcoin exchange based in russia. They have been in business for several years providing bitcoin financial services in russia. They are currently the primary investor for the Bitfury 65nm asic project. Metabank has started accepting pre-orders for devices but has said they will not ship outside of russia. As a result, a proxy service is necessary to collect and send out your device. You can view the metabank ASIC sales page at the following URL: https://metabank.ru/asic


Who is BitCentury?

BitCentury is a group of 3 individuals working together toward creation of various cryptocoin related products and services. You can speak to us in #bitcentury on freenode IRC.

What are the specifications of the Bitfury Asic?

Technical Details (Translated from various Bitfury Posts)

• The design is built on the 65nm UMC Process (http://www.umc.com/English/process/a.asp)
• Bitcoin Engines: 756 Rolled cores (65 Cycles per Hash)
• Expected operational frequency: 250Mhz-900Mhz
• Packaging: QFN48
• Conservative design, could be 40% smaller
• Risk interconnect and transistor variations +/- 20%
• Core implemented using full custom design process (some global place & route)
• Number of transistors per "core": 55,000
• Power estimate obtained from hspice simulation
• Design optimised for low power and minimum size rather than high clock rate

Each chip is capable of 2.8-10.4Gh/s using a 756 core design
Estimated Chip Power Consumption: 1.96-7.26W (0.7W per 1Gh/s)
Estimated Power Consumption at Wall: 1.4W per 1Gh/s (<200W per 120Gh/s Device)


What are the specifications of the Bitfury PCB/Board?

The reference design is not yet completed; but it is likely to be a standalone unit. The PCB design will be similar to the avalon with a controller containing a FTDI USB to Serial chip providing access to any mining hardware you may wish to connect (TP-Link, PI, Odroid, etc).


What Are You Offering?

We are acting as a proxy for orders from Metabank.ru for 120Gh/s devices which they are offering at 2160$USD per unit.

All units will be picked up from Metabank and taken to our office in downtown moscow. The units will be unboxed, tested, reboxed and shipped out via DHL to your shipping address. Testing will be carried out to ensure every device is operating correctly and that no one receives a DOA unit. Testing will be performed on the eligius pool server and will be done under the bitcoin address from which you paid (you will be able to see when your unit is tested and receive full rewards during the testing). Once testing is complete your unit will be packaged and shipped out to your address directly from moscow.


What is your price?

We are charging 32BTC to cover shipping, handling, and our onsite incidentals (employees, office space, etc) as well as to generate a small profit. The 30BTC includes shipping charges to your location (aside from any customs fees which may be applied by your country). All units will be sent out via DHL.

Only send funds from a full wallet that you can prove you are the owner of. If you ever wish to modify your order a signed message will be requested verifying your ownership over the address which sent the coins.

Bulk Pricing is as follows:
** PRE ORDER COMPLETE **

Note: Pricing is subject to change, depending primarily on Metabank's price changes which are directly related to BTC USD value; however, we will honour orders submitted with our latest posted prices.


When will units be shipped?

Metabank has announced release of devices in Aug-Oct 2013. Once we start receiving the devices; They will be quickly tested and sent on their way toward your location.


What if I want a refund?

Metabank is currently offering a 30 day no questions asked refund guarantee. We will be extending that to you in the form of a 29 day no questions asked refund guarantee. We have removed one day from the refund time to ensure that we can forward your request to metabank and that you receive all of your funds back.

We will refund your full bitcoin order amount and not based upon it’s USD value.
