Depending on how it all shakes out I might be interested but I refuse to pre-order anything again. There is no need to gauge interest around here, develop a product that can generate a 'fair' ROI without breaking the bank (or for that matter electricity costs) and you will be swimming in orders before you can upgrade your infrastructure.

Show us something that works and works well and I will show you an avalanche of new business.

Yes, I know that, but a Major Semiconductor Company does not.

I think a "major semiconductor company" has better research methods than unscientific polls via an internet forum. just sayin...

And in any case there is more than enough evidence all over bitcointalk of the popularity and interest in asics. But if i see one more "we're building new asics, better than everyone else...are you interested?" I'm going to have to punch my screen

Truth here - All this semiconductor company would need to do is use google to know they would have instant buisiness - This whole thing smells of scam - Although I will say if a company could make a PCB and use Avalon chips by ordering 200,000 of them and assemble thier own units they could make a ton of money selling them. - If only I had the knowledge and resources to do that Grin

They could google Bitcoins if they knew about Bitcoins which they didn't. Because you know about Bitcoin doesn't mean everyone does. They did not know about them until I started talking to them about Bitcoins. Management is starting to talk about them. So this poll is trying to show them that this market is big, if you can deliver the goods fast.

Didn't. They do now, and if they were serious about manufacturing chips they would do their own research.

How many units would you buy?

If we could deliver the units NOW.

Specifications:

Fast-Hash-400's @ 400 GH/s each
45nm 6 GH/s chips
75 chips per board
1 board per unit
expandable to 4 boards
expandable to 1.6 TH/s
Rack Mountable
Low Power
~$15,000

Just trying to get an idea of how many chips we could sell, so as to convince a Major Semiconductor Company that
they need to be in the Bitcoin ASIC chip market.

How do you propose to do this as the company you are working with has just recently heard about bitcoin, and is using a forum poll for research?

Would you be referring to These Joneses?
