Re: CoinTerra announces its first ASIC - Hash-Rate greater than 500 GH/s

There is no evidence of Cointerra's tape-out, and even if it were the truth, it is by no means their only challenge whilst trying to complete this project. All sorts of other problems can cause delays, and there is no real way to know which of these problems are real and which are concealing embarrassing oversight of something simple. BFL played that exact same game with their customers; anytime a delay was announced it was attributed to somehting highly technical, and never to something as prosaic as bad contingency planning in their material requirements.

Correct, Cointerra tape-out press release was a lie, and they lie about other things too

No. There is no actual evidence of either a lie or the truth. Just people making statements.

i have placed a big order with cointerra (amongst other big orders with others) and i keep in touch with them regularly and they have definitely taped out when they said they did. and they wrote an exceedingly large cheque. it was later than hoped, but it was done on nov 8th as announced. I've seen enough additional information to know this is a fact so please stop implying they might be not be telling the truth... thats silly FUD.

Who are you? You seem to be somewhat emotionally invested in this organisation aside from your financial investment with them. How are you privy to all this insider info from Cointerra? It would be silly FUD if there were actual evidence, as opposed to just yourself constantly insisting that we should take yours and their word for it.
