and now asxproject.com no work anymore.

Please understand that we do not wish to spread FUD. But do not continue on ignoring this equation.

+1 on the "highly questionable" vote.

Giles (evilscoop) and I watch the new ASIC companies with great care so we can appropriately invest CipherMine's funds, but even then we're not immune to being caught out (eg. Avalon's ASICs, though we're hopefully getting a refund). We are getting a lot better at spotting the dodgy ones though!

Both of us are highly skeptical of CoinTerra. By contrast, we have had good dealings with both HashFast and BitFury. I have spoken to several people at the former and the CEO is a friend of a friend, and I've spoken to Punin himself from BitFuryStrikesBack and Giles has taken delivery of one of their units. Both are organisations are responsive to inquiries (albeit after a delay in BitFuryStrikesBack's case); that is the hallmark of a genuine operation.

I fear for KNC as well, I must admit... but we shall see.

I think the guys at CoinTerra just think they're the shit and so much better at chip design that they can be way late and it won't matter because they're just so awesome. I think their new prices are waking up to the reality of how overpriced they actually were. I think people are actually coming to their senses and realizing they need to see where the difficulty is going to be before buying new hardware.
