How many chips are on a wafer? What should a wafer cost?
What supporting components do the chips need? How hard are they to get? What do they cost?
How hard is it to design something where all the parts play well together?
Do places exist where you can outsource the design and assembly of these supporting components?
Can we reasonably expect that Ken has both the funds and competency to place the calls and get this shit contracted?
I sort of worked how many chips would be need to gain 3% of the network. 3% of the network is my happy figure because it would bring in 0.0039 btc per share/year and on an open market the shares would be valued around 0.0025 - 0.006 if this was the case (And inside that margin exists my break even point)
To gain 3% of the network I assume we need 19,000 chips hashing at 16GH/s per chip. This results in 300TH/s which will for a short time be 3% of the network. If Ken can reinvest 50% and eASIC allows for a quick turnaround for new chips I see no reason 3% cannot be maintained.
What does everyone think about this?
