BAMM - a WORKING 16 nm full custom ASIC chip @TSMC ! 5x more efficient than our 28nm. Sales to public start shorlty. Decentralize @Bitcoin !

This will raise the difficulty even more, that will promote more centralization unless they limit orders sizes, which I find highly unlikely.   We are at a point that centralization will not be stopped, the only thing that could slow this process, is if the chip makers stopped self-mining and raising the difficulty.   Bitcoin mining is a zero-sum game so what one person does, affects all miners.

I totally agree ... greediness on both sides (seller and mass-commercial buyer) will prevent distribution and only force even more centralization of hash farms.

I  wonder how much such a BitFury container will cost!???
