Can AlcheMiner clarify the relationship with Mining-asic-technologies?

It's kind of awkward when both companies are claiming to have designed the chip/hardware themselves.

Hi jimmothy,
AlcheMiner definitely designed its chips in house; we did the chip design and taped out to TSMC through GUC (Global Unichip). If anyone here has contacts at either of these companies, they're welcome to verify that independently.

Regarding the case design, it's becoming somewhat of a 'generic' design, so that's the reason for the similarity.

Personally, I'm happy with the quality of the case design - and I think it looks a bit sharper than the boxy Titans  Grin

That doesn't really answer my question.

What is Alcheminers relationship with Mining-asic-technologies?

The cases are not "similar" they are exactly the same and so are the hashing boards. Is MAT a reseller?

Sidenote: that's an incredibly lazy/wasteful design for the 96 mh/s miner. I'm sure you guys could slim it down to the size of a Bitmain S3.
