Updated news folks there’s a new sale for the 2PAC 2xBM1384 USB stick miners. Got some cool projects lined up too, like the 20xBM1384 Pod and a couple of BF16 USB sticks.

Awesome news for sure! Don’t hold back on promoting those auctions, I’m eyeing one of those 100ghs sticks.
Totally! Glad to see BitFury is letting third-party miners use their chips. Seems like a good sign for stability.
Yeah, I’m guessing you mean BW’s chip. Not shocked they’re keeping it close to the chest, considering Bitmain's struggles with their 16nm stuff.
You’re right about that. The new boards will be made for the Amita pod miner controls. No reusing old controls, gotta keep it flexible.
I was just thinking about salvaging parts from the old miners. It’s not too hard to take them off without damage.
Gotcha, you meant the cores. I probably won’t reuse those, but I’ll grab some TPS chips.
Sounds awesome! Just curious, how many chips can BitFury actually sell you?
Still waiting for those answers myself. Punin reached out to me recently about samples, which is encouraging.
Agree completely. It’s better to keep things quiet for now with so many uncertainties.

BitFury missed their deadlines big time, but it might work in their favor. They can learn from Bitmain's issues with the 16nm tech.
I’ve noticed delays in getting datasheets too. But if it means they’re making upgrades, that’s a positive.

So nice! Would love to see more hardware from people who are really into mining.
For sure! BitFury has the perfect private testing ground, so I bet they’ve been sorting out any issues with those chips.

This is exciting news! Can’t wait to see how development goes and what the finished products will look like.
Pods are coming first, and then... miners!
