If the Uniquify/Hashfast Official Press Release isn't a big deal and merely confirmation of known info, why is the ACTM Boy's Choir salivating in anticipation of, and howling with impatience for, eASIC to Officially announce their ACTM partnership?
Because they are all in the same building, it was already obvious that they were going to be working together and the press release was largely symbolic. ActiveMining and eASIC are not intrinsically related, so showing the deal is complete would be far more than a symbolic gesture. Are Hashfast and Uniquify really in the same building? I only ask for confirmation because Vbs said

Neither of us knows the concrete details.
But seriously, we already have seen signed documentation confirming an ACTM/eASIC agreement.
A press release may strongly imply the NRE has been paid, but wouldn't confirm anything we don't already know.
IDC if 1/200 Uniquify employees had a sad and 1/100 eASIC employees had a warm feels on Glassdoor.
That kind of corporate phrenology, plus $5, will get you an organic chai maté lattè at the Peet's in San Jose.
Spread all the FUD WRT cooling a big hot chip you like, if it makes you feel better about getting married to the wrong stock.
I've run overclocked 7970s for over a year and know it isn't that hard to dial in a good heat/performance sweet spot. And that's (mostly) with stock air cooling! Hashfast/ice.drill are using liquid cooling, which is far more effective even if they don't know about Vbs' top sekrit phase-changing xenomorphic transdimentional cavitating hypercritical autocalibrating mildly psychic chip goo.
