I thought I made this clear - it's useless for communication on certain issues because of people like you.

Maybe if you didn't engage in a dialogue with him and instead provided an update on how BFL's location move went, etc.

Seriously... why would I not provide and update if I had one? Gah, I am just baffled by the constant requests for the same thing over and over. I have repeatedly stated that when I have more information on Topic X that I can provide, I will provide it. I have no desire to keep things secret and the things that I do keep secret are for competitive reasons. If something appears to be secret and has no obvious competitive advantage for being secret, then it's probably not really secret, I just have nothing further to contribute on that subject than I have already contributed.

If I ignore your request for information X, its' because I've already answered it elsewhere and your request is the nth identical request I have received.

Has this been answered elsewhere?:

No, we are waiting on our ASIC chips right now, as I've stated in a number of other places, though it's understandable if you have missed the posts, since they are spread out everywhere.

So basically for the bitcoin magazine post (here: http://bitcoinmagazine.net/butterfly-labs-releases-more-asic-photos/) you guys soldered some random QFN components to the board to you would have something to show....?

Inaba, please explain.

Indeed, just what are the chips shown here that are called ASICs if you have no ASICs yet?

For clarity, the question is: Are the chips pictured in the article actual functioning BFL ASICs, or are they something else?
