We received an offer from some chinese entrepreneurs. The fact that we manufacture in Guangzhou is not safe for us. Trade secret in China is non-existent, as well as respect for intellectual property. We will not reveal further details about the offers we receive. We did not expect orders to flood in but at least we did expect that the community would take this seriously.

The irony is that, if you really have the machine, by being so secretive about it, it would take you longer to find buyers. The longer it takes, the higher the chance that the Chinese factories you're working with, would start selling copies of the ASIC/machine if they believe there is a demand for it.

Like others have said, if an established member with the right knowledge can verify your claims, you will sell those 500 machines really really fast. There won't therefore be time for anybody to clone it.
