I think the market is crying out for a bite-sized product. Maybe 10 chips making ~2.8GHps.
If you could license the submodule PCB design too you'd be most of the way there.
I think you are dreaming... with that sort of hashing power it is not going to be worth mining, by the time it hits the market the ROI is going to be way out there....
Even in the last two weeks, there has been a significant increase in difficulty and I'm beginning to think that BFL is not going to ship any time soon, because they have the cash and the server farm Idea they are floating , seems to beg that they will be mining with the product people have paid for.
At over $70 a BTC it is well worth it, then all they have to do is gradually release the product to the market once they have 'mined' with it , after all what can anyone do about it?
Did they already not state that there is going to be a 'phased' delivery and not a FIFO order book?
It all sounds like bullshit to hide exactly what they are shipping and the quantities they are self mining with.
