LOL, again some bathroom\kitchen asic pics xD

this might be a compact gpu rig NOT an asic anyways

This is just a personal theory, and I don't know if it's technically possible - but I think someone has worked out how to bundle a bunch of AMDs polaris cores together on one board. Like maybe 8 of them.

Doesn't appear to be much value added compared to building you own GPU rigs. Slightly lower power consumption but more expensive than building 2x RX470 rigs with 8 total cards (get about the same hashrate with 7-8x RX 470s).

Might be a scam, primarily because:

Website says:
"Copyright © 2013-2016 EastShore"
But whois (on eastshore.xyz) says "Created on 2016-05-10", seen here:

Although their AliExpress page says founded in 2013 (tallying with the .xyz domain)

Guys, that's not an ASIC!
check the POWERtoPERFORMANCE ratio... no, ASICs are much more efficient than that!
by the looks of it.... maybe Polaris GPUs (470/480)... packed in some way... if you add the power of 7 undervolted 470s @27-29MH/s|100W ... it would add up to both the power draw and the Hash power of this ASIC....
this is prolly a SCAM or just GPUs sold as ASICs (again a SCAM by my standards ...)

Bottom line:

NOT WORTH IT.... at least YET... (and with PoS so close to kick in.... prolly not going to be ever!)

I just bought 10 of them YOLO
