BitShare BCT Introduced: 2015-Nov-16 Needs more information (see notes for details) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Technical specifications |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Notes: Introduction date is "21 Bitcoin Computer" availability date.[1] 21, formerly 21e6, is believed to use their own developed chip given their staff. Little public information about the hardware used is known. On the 18th of May, 2015, 21 Inc. announced that they will be providing development kits of a BitShare chip to interested parties with the intent of their chip to be used in embedded applications. |
ASICMiner
ASICMiner Facilitators: BitQuan,BitFountain | Top Bottom Die (optical) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
BE100 BCT Introduced: 2012-Dec-28 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Technical specifications Package: Sawn QFN40 6x6mm Markings: BE100 Die:4.66x4.66mm@130nm |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Notes: The letters 'BE' in the component name/markings stands for "Block Erupter". ASICMiner considers the BE100 their 'Gen1' product. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Used on: Block Erupter USB, Block Erupter Cube, Block Erupter Blade |
ASICMiner unknown BCT Facilitators: BitQuan,BitFountain Planned: 2012-Nov | No pictures available Die:65nm |
Canceled (see notes for details) | |
Notes: This chip would formally have been ASICMiner's 'Gen2' product. Development appears to have been canceled prior to production. |

BE200www BCT Introduced: 2014-Mar-28 Datasheet: package dimensions,pins/protocol, pinout | |||||||||||||||||||
Technical specifications Package: Sawn QFN64 8x8mm Markings: BE200 / [lot] Known codes: lot:8P01N,9C01H,9P02A,9P02H Die:40nm |
| ||||||||||||||||||
Notes: ASICMiner considers this their 'Gen3' product. Was made available in 8x8mm and 9x9mm packages. | |||||||||||||||||||
Used on: ASICMiner Tube, ASICMiner Prisma |
ASICMiner Facilitators: BitQuan,BitFountain | Top Layout | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
BE300S prototype BCT Introduced: 2014-Sep-16 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Technical specifications Package: Sawn QFN40* Markings: BE300S Die:28nm Foundry: TSMC |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Notes: This was a prototype manufactured on an MPW. The package appears to be soldered on only 2 sides, which may imply that internally there are also only bond wires to those two sides. |
ASICMiner BE300(S) BCT Facilitators: BitQuan,BitFountain Planned: 2015-Feb | No pictures available Package: FCLGA 5x5mm Die:28nm Foundry: TSMC |
May not actually exist (see notes for details) | Mining: 8Gh/s 0.038J/Gh, 12Gh/s 0.038J/Gh, 6Gh/s 0.033J/Gh, 9Gh/s 0.022J/Gh |
Notes: ASICMiner would consider this their 'Gen4' product. The expected hashing performance and package size is preliminary. The BE300(S) is understood not to be in production at this time. |
ASICMiner Unknown a 2015 16nm chip co-developed with BitQuan,BitFountain. The planned node size would be 16nm or 14nmThis chip is planned to be introduced in the future. |
ASICrising GmbH
ASICrising Wolfblood XEwww BCT Facilitators: RacyICs Planned: 2014-Aug | No pictures available Die:8.45x8.45mm@28nm (custom+cell) Foundry: Global Foundries |
May not actually exist (see notes for details) | Mining: 100Gh/s 0.19J/Gh, 125Gh/s 0.29J/Gh, 150Gh/s 0.29J/Gh |
Notes: Third hash rate listed is based on Gh/mm² numbers using the 100Gh as the base value. This was also used to derive the die size for further calculations. As of 1 April 2015 the ASICrising website states that the design is "Tapeout-ready", implying that it has not yet been manufactured. |
ASICrising Wolfblood x14 a 14nm 200Gh/s 0.08J/Gh chip . As of 1 April 2015 no further information on this potential chip has become available beyond the Coinbau investment brochure. |
