I hope this project gets to the exchanges, I'll mine a little

Sold, please delete my thread.

Are there folks that happen to know more about this elaborate on this further? Other than just being a little more efficient than BE200, it doesn't seem like that great of an improvement for a die shrink (40nm -> 28nm). Please excuse my ignorance, I'm more of a biochemist and not familiar with the specifics of chip R&D.

This exactly. Many who still remain (directly or indirectly) are tied to the end, for better or worse.

Even the Wall Street Journal is considering this rumor:

http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/09/19/bitbeat-more-pain-for-bitcoin-prices-are-chinese-miners-to-blame/


Excerpt: "Still, it is the China theory– and it is only a theory — that is most intriguing, in part because it explains a striking anomaly in the bitcoin system: That the summer-long price fall  has coincided with an explosion in bitcoin mining. Over the same three-month period in which the price dropped from above $600 to below $400, there has been a doubling  in the “hashrate,” a measure  of the network-wide computational power with which bitcoin miners compete to solve a mathematical puzzle and win the right to a fresh issuance of 25 new coins at 10-minute intervals. There’s an arms race going on in bitcoin mining. But that begs the question: why would anyone rush to buy mining rigs and pay for ever-greater electricity consumption when both the proportional share and value of the bitcoins you can earn are plummeting?"

Something else to keep in mind: http://cointelegraph.com/news/112520/bitfury-announces-02-jgh-energy-efficiency-plans-sub-01-jgh-by-mid-2015

Gen 4 will be competing with that.

Is that info allowed for public release?

The battery life has been debated for a long time but it's likely the improvements were sacrificed for the larger screen (which the market demanded more of). Curious how many folks with Galaxy Notes will switch over to 6/6+, screen size was what drew many to the Galaxy Note. The Watch announcement was lackluster but as with all new "product categories," it's best to wait a generation or two before getting one.

Miner Tested, Friedcat Approved?

I do not believe it is a sick joke (not insider info either imo), due to the following reasons:

1) If you look carefully at a few of the transactions from that address, it has received BTC from (directly or indirectly) from F2Pool. F2Pool is also known as Discus Fish, which is located in China (citation needed) and is rumored to be one of the few pools where AM is mining. Check the wallet link and click "Related Tags"

2) Looking at F2Pool/Discus Fish's mining user list, the largest miner in their pool (via 20 min avg) appears to only have started to receive payments from only several days ago. This is similar to age of the mentioned wallet address as it too is also a very new address of being a few days old.

3) The mentioned address is has also sent & received BTC from a wallet address rumored to have received BTC from AM sales. Again, there have been no references other than the quote below (and I've spent quite a bit of time looking too) -


Now these three examples can only be considered speculation at best (perhaps even grasping at straws) but it does make one wonder...

It happens but yes, the user 67117 is (or should be) AM. That was their account on BTCGuild before they went solo, way back when.

I'm not certain but I posted this back in July:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg7875245#msg7875245

That's HashRatio, one of AM's largest chip buyers.

Very true, their hardware (both 28nm, I believe?) are more efficient than AM's current offerings; there's no doubt about that. However, the S3 isn't available for shipping until Sept 20th and SP30/31 are in September "Batch 2." AM hardware can be obtained within a week and will have roughly a 2-3 week head start.

Does it not link to the hardware sales thread? The second to the last line?

Edit: I've edited it so the link is below the "Round 2 Sales"

Edit 2: The reason why it's not coming up because it's been "Removal_Rover"-ed, meaning I've posted about AM there multiple times and that isn't allowed (and promptly removed). If AM wants to advertise on Reddit, they'd have to use Reddit's ad system (http://www.reddit.com/advertising)

A bit of a shameless plug but I would ask those who have a Reddit account to upvote this post:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2emwsg/asicminer_hardware_sales_round_2_inhand_hardware/

Everyone here is welcome to do the same thing and encouraged to post on other social media platforms for a larger AM awareness.

More Awareness -> More Interested Parties -> Larger Sales Volume -> Better for Shareholders

Now is the time to let every other subforum on Bitcointalk know (preferably in a non-annoying way) that AM has the hardware to ship if they're interested.
