You're quoting an interview in a foreign language, when you claimed friedcat's "Own words":
The content is known to have been misinterpreted, and claims within are obviously off (3rd gen already developed? right...)
As far as you requesting quotes, you should try a taste of your own medicine and provide them yourself instead of "As far as I know / 99% sure / probably"
An interview in friedcats native language. Nobody including board members from the chinese forums or these have claimed the interview is false. FC has not said anything regarding the interviews illegitimacy and what Friedcat has confirmed goes with exactly what the interview says which is gen3 coming 1st quarter of 2014. 3rd gen may very well have been developed who knows. I am sure BFL "developed" their asics 2 years ago.
So again has any other competitor besides KNC stopped shipping to provide better profits?
And where is the official statement from cointerra stating they are hashing? I couldn't find it and surely this would be huge news. But I did find that they missed nearly every deadline by a huge margin. Looking like first shipments are going to be jan at the earliest. Wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a BFL and took 6 months and refuse to refund preorders.
