I dunno, if anyone is capable then it is Bitfury, from my conversations they are straight shooters and really really know their onions.
If V reckons that they can do that, then it would be a brave man to bet against bitfury. imho.
I know butfury are not that active on this board, but they are a real company with some of the finest minds i have had the pleasure to talk with.
edit lol @
Personally, I think that this scam because bitfury admitted in a public conversation that he has no higher (university) education but it is going to make the chips.
I know I laughed but seriously that is actually a bit harsh, do you have the skills to judge whether bitfury can complete this or not? you are more or less admitting that you dont, so therefore they are scammers??
I have no idea if they are scammers or not, what I do know is that they have at least 2 members of their team that are really really good with electronics and chip design. - superhuman good... I have been waiting for them to make an announcement about asics since last year

they have the talent to pull this off.
