New Siacoin ASIC again

But an interesting information coming from SiaTeam in response of this announcement

"The specs are in line with our most optimistic simulations for the SC1. If we can get the chips to run at 0.5V, we'd be seeing around 3.3 TH/s per 1000w" from Taek42 Developer

The fight begins


From my reading of Taek42's posts (sia dev)

Obelisk is unstable at 0.5V and stability is found at 0.6V delivering a 2.25 GH/w (833 GH total +/- 5%)

Yes, I'm agree with you but Taek42 said in a thread about the DragonMint B52:

I recall you mentioning that there were certain voltages that would make the chip unstable. When chips deliver will this be tested on or has it been ruled out that our SC1 chips cannot run at 0.5v?

We will know in about 60 days if the chips run at 0.5V.

So... is my Obelisk going to turn into an expensive paperweight?

No, the Obelisk unit should still be relevent. The specs are much better than the A3 specs, and if we are able to clock the chips down all the way, they are also competitive with the Dragonmint specs. We will know more in about 60 days.

Wait & see again  Wink
