Build Your Own ASIC Miner



Again, welcome, welcome, and welcome! Glad you’re here! There’s so much to do around these parts that it’s really hard to know exactly where to start… … so, I’ve made a bit of a guide for you so that you can feel the most comfortable digging in, learning about bitcoin, blockchain, and the many different cryptocurrencies, and getting to know the folks!

Also, here are some helpful suggestions on what to share in your introduction:

Who are you?

Where are you located?

What was the first cryptocurrency that you invested in and why?

What are you “TO THE MOON” goals?

What are you the most excited about in terms of our growing community?


Build Your Own ASIC Miner
 
 I would like to compile a list of resources on how to build our own ASIC miners. I think that this is important for the decentralization of mining power with the current centralization of miners in China and uncertainty of legality in that jurisdiction. Also, with recent controversial discussions of Bitcoin Cash.

According to some of the links below, creating your own ASIC miner is impossible. This will be a real challenge, but I think that it is possible based on information in other forums. We have a lot of brain power here. Sourcing the ASIC chips will be a challenge. If we have any electrical engineers here, I would appreciate your insight. I am setting up my first D3 ASIC miners next week so I will be looking forward to studying the design more closely. If you have any ideas, additional resources, or know anybody who has successfully crafted their own ASIC miner please share your knowledge below. Thanks for your interest

I think it is clear that we will not be able to manufacture our own silicon ASIC chips at home because that requires some million dollar equipment but I do hope to find a source of affordable ASIC’s to experiment with. I hope to learn along the way, without it being too costly. 


China: “Mining is illegal operation”

TL;DR 71% of mining is in China. Cheap electricity in China makes mining attractive. Chinese government may be locking down the miners as locals reported apparently(not confirmed yet).

” I know one of the principles at a company that IS designing their own Bitcoin ASIC – and the were talking MILLIONS to get it designed and into production.
THEN they get to add on the cost of the actual chips once they’re IN production.

I think the reason they went that route was the extreme shortage of “commercial” miners and “commercial” ASIC chips, even when you have enough money to wave under Innosilicon’s or Bitfury’s noses (Bitmain doesn’t sell chips at ALL afaik) to get the pre-existing chips – and for the quantity they wanted long-term it might actually cost them LESS to roll their own despite the up-front costs.”

I am definitely dreaming but the dream gives me steam, hehe.

“Good luck finding:


a.People very well-versed in laying out bleeding-edge IC design.

b.Said people also knowing how to route by-hand the SHA256 logic cores inside the chips. Foundry-supplied IP blocks will be useless aside from memory and coms.

c.Then convincing TSMC, GloFo or Samsung to sell you time to make some test wafers. IF they will even talk/work with you Foundry cost per test run will be several 100k$ up-front.

d. rinse and repeat ‘c’ several times until the chips works reasonably ‘close to specs’. Redesign costs/time for each test run – massive.

e. And this one is a doozy – gathering KNOWLEDGABLE investors willing to put up several 10’s of millions USD to do all of this. Given the horrific past history of companies ‘making’ ASIC-based miners using their own chips and then for various reasons – mostly pure and simple nefarious greed followed closely by them frankly totally blowing the chip and power design – all failing miserably, good luck with that…

f. Convincing your Foundry to allot production time for you to produce enough chips per-run to make all this worth while. That may be as hard as ‘e’…”

All of this to say, I will do my best to incorporate my interest in cryptocurrencies and building ASIC miners into my studies, research projects, and interdisciplinary relationships at whichever university I am accepted and choose to attend. UC Riverside may be the most promising for ASICs research considering proximity to San Bernandino and materials research at UCR.

A run of chips is around 2.5 million to start. Selling them commercially in the US opens you up to a lot of liabilities too. Chinese companies don’t have to worry about someone getting hurt by one of their machines.

That said. I’d still like to do it. A silent $20-30 plug and play 1 TH/s machine is along the lines of what I’m thinking.Getting something simple like that in homes would make a huge difference.

CoinMarketCap.com is LYING to everyone while profiting from it

CoinMarketCap.com is LYING to everyone while profiting from it

CoinMarketCap.com, the Number 1 website in the crypto-currency industry, is showing immensely fraudulent and scam information (on purpose) to its users. As a site that is used frequently for reference points by many news organisations, trading outlets, companies, informational sites and individuals, it would be in the best interest of the community to write about what has been really going on with this “trusted resource”.

The research indicates that multiple attempts to fix information by many coins on CoinMarketCap.com through contacting them through their support requests or online social media sites such as BitcoinTalk.org, reddit.com and other places has gone unanswered, ignored and/or explicitly overlooked/denied. By explicitly overlooked/denied, after contacting their support with up-to date and obviously correct information, they refuse to update the data. Many hundreds of coins on CMC are affected very negatively (or positively) by this. A lot of them have given up trying to get CMC to put correct data on their site, and have made sticky posts in their own respective forums as to this issue instead.

It is believed that there is massive insider trading going on with the employees, owners and others involved with CoinMarketCap. The research, including talking to multiple coin creators, shows anomalous buying of coins between times that the coin creators asked CMC to list their coin (through their google form) and between when it actually gets listed on the site. This could mean that CMC insiders know that certain coins will pump, and go on a buying spree to front-run the listing of the coin and the public market sentiment. This can be seen over and over again when analysing the action on coins when being listed.

Pump and dumps are also being actively allowed and managed by the team at CMC without the knowledge of the coin creators or coin communities themselves. This can be seen by the direct manipulation of the circulating supply of some coins. CMC puts the circulating supply as very high at certain points (increasing the market cap), then drops it down to a much lower number later (lowering the market cap). This moves these coins up or down their numbered list causing massive buys and sell offs at the whim of CMC. Luckily this fraud can only be made to happen once or twice with each coin as the public outcry from the coin communities (sometimes) usually puts an end to it one way or other.

There is also evidence of CoinMarketCap effectively “killing” off coins as it sees fit. How does it “kill” a coin? Well it removes it’s circulating supply to “?” or a very low number arbitrarily, and keeps it there for a prolonged period. As the coin goes lower and lower in the rankings, daily volume on the coin dies off until such a time that it is zero (even though the teams behind the coins are still active and growing their ecosystems). This leads to exchanges delisting the coin, and the ecosystem being entirely dead after a period of time. There is plenty of evidence of coin communities complaining and coin creators “begging” CMC to update their information with no luck. CMC literally decides which coin lives or dies with it’s own agendas. In defence of CMC, some coins do lose their circulating supply due to faults of the coins (the data end-points for circulating supply stop working on the servers provided initially by the coins), but many are brought down even with the objections and outcry of the coin creators and communities behind them.

Also of concern is the possible bribery of CMC officials and other nefarious behaviors that could very obviously be extrapolated from their current actions. What if one coin paid a handsome sum to CMC to make sure a “competitor” would have lower market cap? How do you make them have a lower market cap? Easy, refuse to update the circulating supply to what the real numbers are and instead show an arbitrary number of their choosing. This can also be seen on many of the coins listed on CMC. There is ample evidence of coins complaining publicly on many forums yet CMC taking it’s own numbers without any explanation or acknowledgement.

Another area of concern is the outdated/incorrect information of many of the coins listed on CMC. Official coin links being broken or unresponsive, including the main websites, wrong daily volumes (not updated in days or weeks), and hugely different circulating supplies (from those you can officially see on the respective blockchains of the coins themselves) are just some of the additional problems that ring alarm bells with us.

Because of these issues, (and many others including the pseudonymousnature of the founders and team members) we believe it is in the best interest of the entire community to get behind this initiative and make big noise until such a time that CoinMarketCap updates their site to show correct information, or another resource is created/promoted that shows correct and up-to date data on their website. Number 1 can go down to Number 0 very quickly in the space with the right community backlash.

Some may say that these issues may be due to incompetence of the team at CMC or them having limited resources. One of the parts of our analysis will take a much closer look at what kind of income CoinMarketCap really makes. You would be surprised. CMC is one of the most profitable businesses in the entire industry. The user is the product. The ads are the money maker. There are backroom deals, and much more happening beyond the scenes that the public does not know.

Most people here are concerned about centralised mining cartels, hardware producers, banks, governments, regulators and/or core developers being points of issues in this industry. We strongly believe that none of those come even close to comparing to the obvious fraud that has been going on at CoinMarketCap for many years.

The volume of money that is traded on information taken from CMC alone pales every other issue into oblivion. If traders are making buys and sells according to falsified data on CoinMarketCap.com, then they are being manipulated and lied to in one of the biggest frauds in the entire crypto-currency space.

You will be shocked at the level of incompetence, negligence, fraud, and outright lying that CMC perpetuates, but at the lack of information about this so far in this industry. For a community that prides itself on self-regulation through transparency and openness, it should be ashamed at not having blown this massive fraud into the public eye much sooner.

We owe it to the community to make sure resources (especially the Number 1 site in the industry) are not being placed in positions to freely commit fraudon this scale ever again.

This has been a very intense effort in data gathering, reporting and analysis.

Mining Profitability Formula

Yes the profitability changes second to second with the price of bitcoin and  you cant use this information to forecast…

Reward = ((HashRate * Block_Reward) / Current_Difficulty) * (1 – Pool_Fee) * 3600

BTC total daily payout is 6.25 BTC * 6 times per hour * 24hours…on average = 900 BTC mined every day. 

That has to be spread out, on average, evenly across then ENTIRE network.  Granted, luck is involved, so it isn’t exactly even, but on average, it should be.

If network is running at 17,608,758 TH/s, and every TH gets an even share of the reward, then that would be 1800BTC / 17,608,758 TH/s = .00010222 BTC/(TH/s).


You then take that figure and multiply by number of TH for miner, and then you get daily BTC revenue ; )
