Well I can't afford to make mistakes, I'm not quite in the same standing as some appear to be on this board. Having strong academic qualifications has not crossed my path with gold or worthwhile employment opportunities for that matter. I'm yet to find anywhere I have confidence of investing w.r.t. mining hardware and I'd like to make go at this if possible, but that's means limiting risk. In any case I'm being as thorough as I can with due diligence and this offers the best fit for me. The fact they are in Europe and open to personal and independant verification is a big personal plus.

I'm weary of US, Asian and other continents (Cedartec - Lebanon - Middle East lol) and call out blatant scams when I see them. For the most part i'm weary as I'm no where near there physically and can't see for myself. I don't see BFL as a scam, just responsible for making a massive clusterfuck of assumptions and overpromising which is why I don't want to see a repeat of promising what appears to be too good to be true. Rather see under promising and over delivering any day! Welcome surprises are always...err...welcome.

I believe KNC and ORSoC can manage an FPGA, I want to see evidence they can manage next gen 28nm ASICs though.
