Integration with cgminer would be really great, since it already supports the BFL Single and the Icarus, and it also supports RPC for frontend/easy remote management, if required.

No need to reinvent the wheel, I'd say! Grin

Compatibility and integration with existing systems are a great idea, we want this to be as versatile and easy to use as possible. There will need to be a dedicated GUI/toolkit for Nanominer, if only for configuration and use of features unique to this system. As he's mentioned, Azelphur is my man handling the software side. He does good work and I'm lucky to be working with him. He's the one to talk to with ideas on how to make the user experience better

As far as 28nm technology goes, Nanominer's first iteration will not be on a 28nm chip, it wouldn't be economically feasible. However, to answer your question, in the future when it's within a reasonable price range, we'll be more than capable of delivering miners on whatever technology is available, 28nm or otherwise. That is, unless my research, work experience, ECE degree (in progress), and hobbies all go to waste, which I doubt they will

.

And no, as to the Nano running at 75 MH/s that figure was a well meant but frankly uneducated estimate on my part. Maybe I should say here that I'd like to apologize for promising the moon in the earlier stages of this project. I know that people offering more than they can deliver is not something you all want to hear. That's why, with this project, I'm offering nothing more than what I know is possible. If you'd like to know how I came to a decision about a feature, or have a question about how I intend to achieve what I promise, please do ask. It's all being planned out with the help of others with various areas of expertise, and always conservative estimates. I'll be happy to release something that outperforms what I promise, but in engineering there are always unforeseen hurdles, so I'm trying to be realistic, and even a little pessimistic.

More to come...
