Who are we?
We are a group of engineers who work in four different cities (Shanghai, Wuxi, Shenzhen, Chicago) across U.S.A and China. In the past two years, we've been working on developing ASIC for X11 coins. And in the past few months, we have some breakthroughs on miners. Obviously, we have huge confidence on Dash which leads us to develop ASIC miner, even though the market isn't mature back then.
Why announcing the news now?
A few months ago, we announced we have an explorer version of X11 Miner. And we made a small batch of miners test the water of the market but we didn't deliver. The whole teams were split since then. Hearing about recent development on ASIC miner in Dash community, I contacted my past teammate to see how's everything going with them. It turned out that one of our engineers who is working with another vendor had a breakthrough, and performance is good enough for us to announce the news. PinIdea will be the only distributor for the Shooter Chip X11 Miners.
When and how will the new models be shipped?
50 devices would be available next month. Estimated to be shipped by the April 8th, 2016 via UPS, SF-Express from Mainland China. Update: April 15th is the latest shipping date now because of heat sinks replacement
Is it legit?
If you're living in Chicago, I'd be willing to demo it for you in person. In the past few days, we've been trying to arrange tests for someone trusted in Dash community. For anyone who is concerned about the legitimacy of the miners, we strongly recommend waiting for the test run report before buying.
Mining Software?
Support Linux (Tested only on Ubuntu), Windows
Also, support running with Raspberry PI

Weight: 4.5kg
Single ASIC Chip Performance
Package Type: QFN64 8mm*8mm
Interface: SPI
Hash Rate: 8.5Mhash/s @400Mhz
Power Consumption: 4.3W @400Mhz
Payment Methods?
Dash and BitCoin
Price?
500 Dash or equivalent amount in BTC per device. Shipping cost is included if it is less than 250 USD. Dash is the preferred payment method for us.
Note
Each buyer can only purchase one device at most.
USB version miner video (screencast of 12 hours test)
Final Product Testing Video
Product Front And Back
More Info?
More Video demos will be uploaded in next week. Dash MasterNode Wallet(Handheld device) is going to be released later this year. At the same time, we'll arrange group conversations with our Chinese Engineer in Tencent QQ to make full disclosure about our development on ASCI x11 Miners.
