This thread is really interesting for me, not being a tech head but willing to learn.

But back to the actual title of the thread "Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly"....

I was listening to this https://soundcloud.com/heryptohow/roger-ver-vs-joby-weeks-sasha-daygame-juan-galt-jeff-berwick

BitClub Network are an MLM funded mining operation, they have a pool with currently just under 40 PH/s, somewhere around 4% of the total.
The conversation on the audio came about because BCN promoters were using Roger Ver's name in their material, and he got a bit pissed about that.

A person called Joby Weeks represents BitClub Network, altho a formal position in the operation is unclear.
In it, he makes several claims of relevance to this thread.
I wonder what your thoughts are, especially punin's, as Weeks' claims flatly contradict what he has been saying.

What say, punin?

Some of Weeks' claims (transcribed by me, 99% word for word, check them yourselves)
