This means the first chip will be here last week of November (Look at Kens post date)
So I was actually wrong, the prototype will be online in 4 weeks minimum.
NRE was paid way before that post was made; how many times does this need to be explained? Ken said miners are shipping out by the end of November, so your conjecture that there won't be a prototype until then is incorrect. Why are you invested in this security if you are so ignorant of the fundamentals?
