Re: CoinTerra announces its first ASIC - Hash-Rate greater than 500 GH/s
We are indeed on track for our delivery times. Mock tape-out was performed and our tape out is very near. The community can expect more information soon as we get closer to production.
Mock tape-out was weeks ago, and still no real one? Hashfast went from mock to actual tape-out in about 9 days.
Something went wrong with Cointerra's mock tape-out. Probably because they can't code RTL for shit.
This is where amateur Cointerra's lack of experience with designing a new chip from scratch shows. Maybe they'll get it right In Two Weekstm.
Building a huge Bitcoin ASIC from the ground up is completely different than buying some IP from ARM, etc. and slapping it onto a SOC for Samsung phones.
Let's remember Cointerra made claims about its chip's physical performance in GH/W/sec before getting remotely close to physical simulation.
There is no way in Hell Cointerra can make its promised December delivery date on time, any more than they met their "first week of Oct" tape-out target.
