Update: no news


Hello folks,

been away for a week and flooded with PMs about the status of A1 chips. I really have no news to share, but want at least to forward Bitmine's information that everything is still on track. So please be patient some more days. We are almost in December, so news are due soon.

I know that some of you already started their design and are eager to test it. All I can tell is that you are in the same position as Bitmine - lots of all-but-chips ready stuff waiting to mine. Generally, I can only promise what I get promised from Bitmine (and what they get promised from Innosilicon and what Innosilicon get promised from GF) - and therefore prefer to stick to the facts only.

Needless to say (but since people are asking, given the exchange rate change and the related self-mine aspect), I assure that I will keep what I offered and provide up to 5k chips from the first run to the DIY scene. Mid-term, what I need from you is some realistic feedback on demand for the following wafer runs (February / March 2014). I'd like to prevent the situation we currently have with lots of demand but all chips out of stock - at the same time I can't carry all the risk of buying chips for stock alone. Therefore, if you are working on own designs and have some feeling what your demand will be in March, please let me know. I understand that forecasting 3 months in bitcoin land is pure gamble, but I do not want to gamble alone


That's for now, I'll keep you updated.


Cheers,
