X1 manufacturing in testing
We have stopped manufacturing X1 and we will be shipping all remaining customers X1.5 which contains 2 chips and hashes at 160-180 Ghash in an attempt to clear the compensation sooner.
Certification for Prospero X1.5 is in progress.
Does this mean that I will get a X1.5 aswell? for my 2x X-1 order compensation?
14nm Bitcoin ASIC
We are still heavily involved in the 14nm ASIC project.
We are happy to report that after bringing on board more talent we have exceeded our initial 0.3W/Ghash target by 4.3 times by employing all techniques possible in ASIC and algorithm design. Our current design efficiency is now 70mW/Ghash (0.07W/Ghash) which allows us to build a 1 Terrahash chip in a single die while using 70 Watts at chip level. This will allow development of a 20Thash machine while using 1.5kw.
We intend to make this chip available for sale only from stock (No pre-orders)
Sounds good, but lets see the end result.. Im sure if you ever do produce 14nm you'll be sub 0.1w.. or well, i hope.
Good? It would be crazy to still consider buying anything from Blackarrow after these delays, bad customer service and miners breaking down.
