I was going to buy a bunch of them (a few thousand) but did not for this very reason. The OP may know something about producing an ASIC but the OP and his advisors know nothing about marketing and selling product. I suggested using distributors months ago and they've only now come to see the value fo that tried and true model.

Their pricing makes them a non-competitive product and their price dropping makes them a horrible potential partner.

They should, like most manufacturers, set a single unit MSRP (price) and then offer serious discounts for volume purchases (on the order of 30%+). The first company to adopt that distribution model will gain immediate market share.
