Is cloudhashing.com added to the list?

EDIT
====

Also add http://www.cedartec.net/ as under review.

Enterpoint.co.uk and ztex.de should be marked as cleared.

New entries added.

ztex and enterpoint are both ASIC/FPGA design specialists, but not Bitcoin specific vendors, addition has been excluded

BLUE status added for companies that show more signs than not they are legitimate, but still awaiting confirmation that someone has an actual product in their hands to verify their integrity.

They still sell for the bitcoin market which is why I mentioned them to be included. BFL also are "ASIC/FPGA design specialists" for other markets so I think with this premise, the aforementioned companies should be added.

On BFL website, it says - "Butterfly Labs manufactures a line of high speed encryption processors for use in bitcoin mining, research, telecommunication and security applications."

Besides, it makes it easier for noobs to make an informed decision of "who" sells "what" and if they are reliable.

I don't get your logic. ZTEX and Enterpoint are not Bitcoin ASIC specific vendors, just generic FPGA/ASIC producers. These are the companies that Bitcoin ASIC vendors would work with to produce their chips, they don't sell Bitcoin ASIC units directly. This is just focusing on Bitcoin ASIC hardware vendors for scam/legit viability as so many new ones are emerging.
