Stoxwhizz, is a desperate troll with many many many ID who opened an account 4 days ago to troll with.

He is either

1 a paid mm rent boy

2 a trader who is out of position

3 a shorter who needs to burn

4 a nut job

Take your pick, nobody is ramping as the Company is progressing as per Fridays RNS and vox media interviews 💪

Shane,
I want to be honest and realistic, £1-£2-£3-£4 is possible as we progress in 2022-23.

I appreciate the enthusiasm.
I’ve seen crazy things in crypto.
We won’t see £5-£10 in months.
That would be insane.

No of shares in issue being taken into account.
Say market cap = £3billion = £4 sp

Lets break past 5-10p-20p first...?

Stoxwhizz trying every angle here to troll with. Best way is to read his history and see why he has a 100 trolling posts on an account set up 3 days ago, pmsl

As always never listen to BB and DYOR with the info provided via RNS or media interviews!

The top 5 industry suppliers (TSMC, SMIC, Intel, Huwaei, Samsung, GlobalFoundries) as mentioned by FG in interview, these become QBT competitors, they manufacture the chips we would like to manufacture. I digested this part.

The difference is QBT CEO: ‘Ultimate goal is to produce an “enhanced̶1; 7 nanometers (nm) ASIC chip”

The top5 chip manufacturers are massive “multi $billion corporations” all producing 7 nanometers (nm) ASIC chip, which is what QBT Expert cryptographer and the design team are all working towards. An ASIC -7nm. An enhanced version.

To date: P_1 “enhanced̶1; ASIC ULTRABOOST chip by 24% improvement in performance, plus an P_2 an ASIC (+24%) plus “additional energy saving consumption” still to be applied. Much more data to come ...

QBT: £27m market capitalisation
Growing Circ. BTC market size =£110bn @$62,000
Rising prices of bitminer as BTC surges towards $100,000
£m’s to be saved in expensive miner equipment and capital outlay.

Having digested last rns and new interviews I’m now comfortable to say, QBT likely to go on to become a UK unicorn+ as ASIC ULTRABOOST latest news from 2RNS, hits home and “one of the best crytographers in the world” (source:CEO interview) quietly on-board at QBT, if anyone was in any doubt, realisation now starting (to sink in....) as patents filed and ASIC chip development has rapidly progressed over past 4months. Investors caught off gaurd.

This was no fake news....

Quantum Blockchain Technologies Plc

(“QBTâ€� or “the Companyâ€ʏ33;)

Update on FPGA and ASIC Development

The board of Quantum Blockchain Technologies (AIM: QBT) is pleased to announce that its first phase of the FPGA development has now been completed.

HIGHLIGHTS

Disruptive Bitcoin mining technology development is well under way

QBT researching multiple routes to faster Bitcoin mining

Bitcoin algorithm core architecture for an FPGA chip has been selected and modification completed

To keep costs low, initial testing performed on an FPGA chip

Architecture design work for ASIC prototype to commence before year end

Testing will commence on the final design of the more expensive / faster ASIC prototype chip by end of Q1 2022

Ultimate goal is to produce an enhanced 7 nanometers (nm) ASIC chip

Early internal calculations show a final chip that could perform 24% quicker than current best available ASIC

OVERVIEW

The goal of the Company is to develop disruptive Bitcoin mining technology, to mine both faster and with less overall energy consumption than current practices. A number of advanced technologies are being used by QBT to achieve this goal; namely, quantum computing, AI Neural Networks - Deep Learning, Algebraic-Boolean reductions, Very Big Data, Cryptography and custom chip programming and design - using GPU, FPGA and ASIC chips.

The current technique used by producers of Bitcoin mining technology on dedicated computers to achieve the fastest performance, is by manufacturing single purpose, customised ASIC chips, which can perform only one wired function, i.e, the computation of the double hashing; the SHA26 cryptographic algorithm used to extract Bitcoins. The simple reality is that the faster the algorithms are computed and the more ASIC chips deployed, the more chances a miner has to extract Bitcoins.

Before manufacturing an ASIC chip, which is an expensive operation, there are usually two initial steps; firstly, to develop the logic gates architecture which will be used by the final ASIC chip – this is performed on a cheaper but slower chip, called an FPGA, which already contains some pre-defined functions - and secondly, by customising the design to take advantage of the greater freedom offered by ASIC technology, initially by manufacturing a prototype in a small batch, to keep costs low. The final stage, manufacturing the completed ASIC chip, is an expensive process, but the end result is a very small scale (currently up to 5nm) processing chip, which is significantly quicker, leading to greater results when mining Bitcoin.

QBT has now completed the FPGA development phase and is moving to develop its ASIC protype.

Initial estimates derived from the FPGA performance obtained from our internal testing, would indicate that when the final industrial ASIC prototype design is completed it could outperform the fastest ASIC chip, currently being used to mine Bitcoin by at least 24%.

Moreover, early experimental evidence, using AI techniques to multiply by several factors the speed of an FGPA for computing the Bitcoin mining algorithm, would make even an FPGA a competitive Bitcoin mining tool. This same principal would apply to ASIC and other existing commercial mining tools. Tests on this innovative approach, will continue over the next three months.

DETAILED VIEW

Following testing of a variety of design options, an unrolled SHA-256 architecture has now been implemented, with a number of existing optimisations coded, for QBT’s FPGA chip prototype.

The Companyâ€͐2;s patented ASIC ULTRA Boost improvements (patent under application) will be added in the next few weeks, as a result of the close cooperation between the in-house cryptography expert and the Companyâ€͐2;s FPGA designer.

Current performance of the Bitcoin mining architecture developed by QBT on the FPGA (based on 16nm technology, at 600MHz basic cycle and the average general purpose available coding area) is 2.8 Giga Hash per second (GH/s) with an estimated 50W energy consumption. The ASIC ULTRA Boost optimisation should improve the above performance by 7% as previously reported.

To put things into context, our in-house expert has calculated that, as of today, a top of the range FPGA (using QBT’s architecture of the implementation of the algorithm, to make it run at approximately 15 times faster than the standard FPGA), is still approximately 23.4 times slower than the best-in-class existing 7nm ASIC Bitcoin mining chip and much less energy efficient.

It was never the Companyâ€͐2;s intention to compete on speed and energy efficiency against an ASIC chip, using an FPGA chip but, in order to keep testing costs significantly lower, it has been a necessary step for QBT to take in this phase of its development. As a result, the Company is now in a much better position to assess the performance projection of its SHA256 Bitcoin mining architecture, and therefore the team is confident that it can now transfer this solution over to an ASIC chip.

Preliminary approximate calculations indicate that on a 12nm ASIC chip, extrapolated by comparing it to a commercial mid-range 16nm ASIC Bitcoin mining chip (with circa 300 million gates), our ASIC could achieve a double hash rate of 392 GH/s, with the ASIC ULTRA Boost optimisation adding an extra 7% as previously announced, reaching 419 GH/s, which would still be 2.26 times slower than the fastest ASIC commercially available.

However, the Company strongly believes that when compared with the best commercial 7nm ASIC chip for Bitcoin mining available on the market today, an industrial production of QBT’s ASIC at 7nm, would indicate a double hash rate of 1.19TH/s, hence 24% faster.

This performance of QBT’s architecture on the 7nm ASIC, doesn’t yet include the 7% efficiency achieved by the optimisation of the patent application filed in September, which is still to be implemented. The current work on a second patent by the Companyâ€͐2;s cryptography expert will hopefully lead to further material optimisations.

Detailed simulations on energy consumption will be run as soon as our ASIC gate design layout is completed.

ASIC programming will start this month, and we estimate that by the end of Q1 2022 we will be able to announce when the first batch of prototype chips will be available for in-house testing. Following the completion of testing, the Company envisages that chip production, for QBT’s own use, will commence by the end of 2022.

Concurrently, QBT’s R&D team is also considering an alternative SHA256 computing approach (which is categorised as the basic Bitcoin mining algorithm), and this will be tested within the next three months. The joint effort by the members of our AI team and the Companyâ€͐2;s FPGA expert, could improve the current FPGA hash rate of 2.8GH/s by a highly material multiple factor, making mining by the slower FPGA chip potentially competitive against the best-in-class ASIC chip. Should this route be successful, mining via this method could commence as early as Q2 2022.

These AI techniques, if successful, could also improve the performance of current commercial ASIC Bitcoin miners.

The Companyâ€͐2;s new R&D IT infrastructure, which will also allow for Bitcoin mining tests to be carried out, will be operational in five weeks’ time. The wait has been due to the serious worldwide shortage of silicon chips, which is delaying the expected delivery of the hardware. However, the Company has adopted the heavy use of cloud resources in order to avoid any interruption in the R&D activities to the various groups.

The Company remains very confident on the R&D strategy it has adopted which it believes could result in disruptive Bitcoin mining. It is worth noting that the Companyâ€͐2;s R&D programme is fully funded until the end of 2022.

Francesco Gardin, CEO and Chairman of QBT, commented, “Our R&D has delivered some very impressive results in a very short time: In only four months since the programme commenced, we have filed a patent application where we believe the ASIC ULTRA Boost has improved the standard mining algorithm, after five years of little or no progress following the publication in 2016 of the ASIC Boost paper.

“We will soon be ready to start the design of our ASIC Bitcoin mining chip which, on paper, already outperforms, in speed, the current best in class ASIC Bitcoin mining commercial solution. This significant improvement is before the implementation of the new optimisation from ASIC ULTRA Boost and we are confident that our second patent application, which is under development by our cryptography expert, will add a further radical improvement to the process, including also a reduction in energy consumption.

“All our other teams are working extremely hard on the other R&D fronts: Quantum computing and AI Neural Networks-Deep Learning and algebraic-Boolean optimisation. Meanwhile an AI accelerator will be tested within the next three months, which we believe could radically improve the performance of existing commercial miners, as well as our GPU, FPGA and, in the near future, our AISC chip. We consider that the R&D activity undertaken by our group of 15 experts is unbelievably exciting and, if successful, could potentially be radically innovative for the industry.â€5533;

24% increase in speed than the fastest commercial miner and then they have the 7% increase Ultraboost to add to that.

No I’m not ramping, it’s in the RNS!!

Only pointing out to drive the dirty troll mad

Keep going freak and get us to the top chat position

Been here 5 years so how am I a paid ramper

New troll ID is a paid troll
