Be polite, gentlemen.

Many people don't think the BTC miner can be made so small. Haha, but we did it.

This is a evaluating report on CYBTC.COM, which is one of the most famous BTC website in China.

We are a techinical team in China, and we like make electronic products nice and smart.
BTC is the most amazing invension in the world in this century. We think BTC miners should not be cumbersome and ugly.

This Apail, we will present our new miners with our second generation chips, which would be very nice and cute and with powerful hashrates.

Nope.  Details to follow - heading out at the moment.  Just thought I'd go ahead and say 'Nope' for now.

Right, details then.

Quick teardown of the iCointech iMiner

Product link: http://www.icointech.com/product1_en.php

A friend of mine ordered some (one of those BTC 'rich kids' who mined way back when) and threw one my way to dissect before he was going to plug them in, himself.  I'm all set up for USB peripheral shenanigans, he is not.

I have to admit that I was skeptical as well well.  Who wouldn't be?  It's a super tiny miner, supposedly, in a package not unlike that of a USB stick.  Like these:

I did remark earlier in the thread that these are pretty standard husks that you could fill with whatever if you really wanted to:

Note that there are some slight variations, mostly in the cap and endcap, but also in whether there's any grooves and, if so, where (thin sides vs broad sides)  I believe this is closer to what the iMiner's husk actually is:

I actually have a USB stick quite like it, and I took a comparison picture.
