CEX.io? Really... have we not all agreed to not use that as it consolidates way too much hashing power in a single groups hands?
Isn't this about nTek and not promotion of CEX.io as that is WIDLY off topic?
Sorry, wasn't intending it that way. I was just using it as a well recognized example.
You are correct this is about nTek. I guess what i was really saying but in a non-efficient and roundabout way is that i think these units are too expensive and there are better, less expensive and more cost effective solutions out there.
I will agree though that the design of the blades is really cool though...
Just wanted to chime in and say that the current price listed for the 2.4Th/s nTek miner is set high right now because we are currently working out some details for the production cost. We are getting the latest prototype PCB's back this week and will be able to better test the cooling system. Worst case scenario we will need to use liquid cooling on the top of each A1 chip.
Based on further testing we may likely find that liquid cooling is not needed on the top of each A1 chip. Also our engineering team is working on a new design based on liquid cooled copper heat pipes and aluminum heatsinks adapted to the top of each A1 chip. Over the next week we will have a much better idea of the price to add the liquid cooling to our current modular heatsink design.
Please PM me if you are interested in purchasing one of the 1.2Th/s or the 2.4Th/s miners. We do offer special pricing on units of four or more.
Lastly it is important to state that the Q3 delivery date is being conservative. The 2.4Th/s miner is based on the 1.2Th/s design and the only difference is additional power supplies and possibly liquid cooling on the top of each A1 chip. This means there is a good chance that we will be able to ship the 2.4Th/s miners much sooner.
