Scheduled to ship the first mining rigs in mid-December, CoinTerra®‎ showed that their project is on target by announcing tapeout scheduled for the first week of October and chip delivery by early December. The video notes that significant payments were made to Global Foundries to secure these dates.

Next time you indulge the lazy temptation to assume I'm confused, first check your own facts.   Wink

They sold systems with a 'december 2013' deadline - they never supplied a date, and it is usual to expect the end of the month when given a month - so we naturally assumed late december (it'd be foolish to assume anything else).

I'll make the big red "mid-December" taken directly from Cointerra's own press release even bigger and underline the "mid" so you don't miss it again.

Whats your point?  are you saying that cointerra won't make their originally planned mid-december date (that they announced before tape-out) ?  i think we can all agree thats probably true.  Can they make late December?  Maybe.  i personally think they've a chance of it.  Maybe even a good chance.  Thats what they're saying, at least.   And yet again, being even handed n all.  Did hashfast make their mid october date for their chips?  no... they didn't.   Are you in the slightest bit worried that its december already and they are (hopefully) about to show working silicon, more than 2 months later than planned.   And yet you're quibbling over mid or late december for cointerra's intended chip delivery dates.   I really don't understand why you come on here and bitch about cointerra.  Haven't you got better things to worry about that are closer to home ?   i really hope you get your hashfast systems by mid december like they've promised.  i really hope i do too.. since I've got a big order with them.   i just don't get why you see the need to trash a competitor.   it serves no purpose at all.

Whats your problem?
