Sam Cole, co-founder of KnCMiner, said the fabrication process of the chips has been completed and they are now on their way to an assembly house in Asia, before being shipped to KnCMiners offices in Sweden in around six days time

The more important bit of info from this is that, as believed by some of us here to begin with, KNC is having folks physically transport the chips during these transits, in order to bypass customs delays.

I'm sure someone will come up with new fears now. "These folks will take the chips and run!!!"

Not a bad idea! Wink

-> 25 wafer from a rocket lot
-> about 500 working chips @ 100 GH/s per wafer
-> market price today? $5 per GH/s?

$6M in small box somewhere in Asia! Wink

$5/Gh/s for a late october pre-order maybe. For raw chips, in hand, today they could go for $20-30 million. Assuming you could get PCBs made. And the correct software.
