Still cointerra is ranked better than a BFL Klondike and BFL never delivers anything so my opinion on cointerra is dead bearish.

... what

BFL Monarch and just look at the image lol BFL Klondike Tongue

No, I mean - how on earth are you making any inference about Cointerra based on the "BFL Klondike"?

Both are hot air atm

Or simply we have no evidence of it working I'll leave the burden of proof on you if you can refute that

We also have no evidence of AM Gen 2 working. We assume it will happen because FC has a reputation for delivering.

Similarly, the guys at Cointerra have real industry reputations. I knew about Open Silicon before I'd ever heard of Cointerra (I'm in the semi industry) - Dr. Sherwani is the president of Open Silicon, and he is on Cointerra's advisory board. Plus, Cointerra recieved 1.5M in private equity. That typically implies they've got more than a plan to scam nerds.

These guys have almost certainly done business with GloFo before. We're up a couple quality leagues from BFL and Avalon in terms of talent.

They could be late (NB: AM could be late), but there's a buttload of competition that will fill their place if they are. Cointerra just happens to be my favorite horse in this race.

Fair point, I still am waiting on that buttload to get off their arses for now Wink

We do not have Gen 2 proven to be hashing either so valid point we are still waiting on the timeline schedule for now, but personally I did like cointerras video and do agree with your point that they have industry reputation.
The question still remains if they will do it in time to be profitable and outpace the increases in difficulty.

As for the other buttload of competition time tells no lies but AM is still the only one that pay's Cool

It will be interesting how they will add to the storyboard

Some unknown point in the future
Quantum

The future of Bitcoin mining must be either oblivion or reversible computing. I shudder to think of the electricity wasted otherwise.

Quantum computing is many, many years off.
