HashFast why couldn't you post pictures of the PCBs and now you promise pictures with the chip. You have an NDA for posting PCB pictures, but you don't have for the chips?
They don't have such an NDA, come one! They said that such (non-existent) NDA, is covered by an NDA itself that denies them from showing the points of the NDA to the public.
If this is not tragicomic, i don't know what it is.
