Source for the UI is up on my github, backend firmware is all proprietary and built from the ground up for these ASICs (ie does not use open source cgminer/bfgminer).

Kudos for that, at least Kano can't argue about that aspect Wink

So have they verified that these things can actually find blocks?

That's the other typical issue with people who hack cgminer or write or plagiarizer one.
They leave it up to the people who pay them to test it, and usually no one ever finds out ... which of course can mean the obvious, it doesn't work.

Since they've supposedly written a new miner (yeah I've checked it is definitely not a straight cgminer code copy), clearly it is up to them to verify this before selling something that effectively doesn't work.

Well If I point this to a solo btc pool the math says it will take a long time at 2th to hit a block.

This section is for btc not alt sha-256 coins which have lower difficulty.

If it hit a block in BHA it only proves that it can do a difficulty of 13.82gh
if it hit a block in BSV it only proves that it can do a difficulty of 109.70gh
if it hit a block in BCH it only proves that it can do a difficulty of 370.34gh
if it hit a block in BTC Kano's issue is done. as it would be over 21050.00gh or 21.05th

since 1 unit does 2th on eco or 46 cents

and 1,000 units or 2,000th on eco is 460 usd a day it is very likely we won't see a block ever be hit.

10,000 units or 20,000 on eco is 4600usd a day

a block is about 230,000 usd or roughly 500 days if there are 10000 of these mining at ckpool or kano solopool

frankly this is better suited to be pointed at viabtc with a payout set to 0.01 btc

just mine and hold for a few years.

let someone else try to find a block with it.
