The original design work on this chip started in 2011. The architecture work started then. The current version of the RTL code started in May 2013. The team have been working non stop 18 hour days, 7 days a week since then. We understand the importance of schedule. The chip design is almost complete.

Hi Simon,

Can you confirm that you are still on track for an August tapeout ?
https://www.hashfast.com/uniquifystatemen/

Can you confirm that you have chosen and signed with a fab ?
Can you tell us what your fab time estimate is ? Do you have a rocket priority run ?
Have you chosen and signed with bumping, dicing and packaging partners and what is your timeline for these ?
Have you already finalised your PCB design, contracted partners and started manufacturing ?
Have you finalised your rig design, cooling, PSU and contracted a manufacturer ?

If you ship in December - your customers will take a bath on this.
