Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

Hashrate in middle of July was roughly 100,000,000 GH/s, today it is closer to 140,000,000. Obviously that is not all Friedcat, but we can reasonably assume he has maybe half or so of that increase.
Below is quick math, someone please check.
Friedcat had roughly 30,000 TH/s deployed with each blade doing ~10 GH/s in the middle of 2013.
That is roughly 3,000,000 blades with 32 chips per blade or 96,000,000 chips (not sure if thats right, seems high).
Someone check that math (its gotta be wrong) before we look at the hashrate of deploying that many chips with current gen chips.

It was 30-50 TH/s, not 30,000 TH/s :-)
I think that comma isn't a decimal comma, but rather indicating that it is 30 point zero TH/s. Screw the differences between those notations!!!
nope, he is right, that is where I was off. Blah, messing up my TH to GH conversion ratio
So, 30 TH/s or 30,000 GH/s which would be 3,000 blade and 96,000 chips.
So if he deployed another 96,000 chips he would be close to 100 TH/s or about 7% of the market. Perhaps there is a new datacenter he is acquiring/opening?
100T is around 0.07% of the total BTC network.
Btw 96,000 BE200 chips are around 1000T which would be around 0.7% of the total BTC network.
Please leave the calculations to others...
