You missed the first ASIC company to bring a product to market - ASICMiner. Sells overpriced outdated technology at prices where the only one seeing ROI is ASICMiner.
Well, I didnt forget them, but they dont seem to selling (directly) to end users anymore in so far they are still selling anything at all, so Im not sure its that relevant for this thread.
I did add VMC, I somehow seemed to have forgotten them, and Im surprised no one thought of pointing that out.

Question From VinceSamios:
Update Requests:
When and Where will we be able to trade shares?
Crypto-Trade and ChromaWallet (colored Coins). As soon as we get time to finish the
verification interface; however, our core business comes first and working on Intellihash.
When is the first batch of chips/boards supposed to arrive at VMC Assembly?
Our engineers are still designing our board. We had to change our engineering firm, and
learn a few lessons about hiring an engineer firm. We don't have a date at this time.
What do you estimate the ActM hashrate be at the end of January, February and March?
Due to our inexperience with design, we have had a few set backs; however, we have hired
the most competent RTL design team to make sure that when we spin up our chip it will work. They are
very competent at Low-Power and getting the most speed from the chip.
Do you have any more accurate energy efficiency figures yet? w/GH?
Not at this time.
Comment From The CEOHow I see us going forward is we will get our chip and boards into production as soon as possible. Active Mining is in one of the best positions to take advantage of the Bitcoin network. Once we have our chips and boards in production this year we will be one of only two companies in the world which manufactures Bitcoin mining hardware and also mines. With this combination we have unlimited availability to bitcoin mining hardware only limited by our resources. What I see in the future is bitcoin's exchange rate for USD going to over $10,000 in the next year. If this happens Active Mining with its own chip, our current resources which will be increasing with the exchange rate, and eASIC as our partner will put us in an excellent position to dominate our market. Intellihash will just be an added boost should it turn out to be a game changer.
