Weekly Update 1/15/2013
Here in San Jose working with our partners to move our projects down the line. The RTL problem has been solved and I will be releasing more information about this over the next month. I will also over the next month be releasing the timeline on our chips as the information becomes available to us.

Another update stating you will update your updates on the next update. And people think this is exciting?
The only piece of actual news is that the RTL still wasnt done. Thats pretty much step 1 in asic development and there is no reason this couldnt have been done 6 months ago. Development started when, back in May?
For those curious how this impacts timing, let me quote Ken from 10 months ago:
VMC is in talks with a Major Semiconductor Company which can deliver prototype/Low Volume chips to VMC in a 5-10 week time frame after the RTL code for the ASIC chip is ported to their chip and the timing on the chip has been closed.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158806.0No, I have no idea what the last part of that Kentalk sentence means either, but it does seem we are looking at least at 5-10 weeks for a handful of expensive ebeam samples. For single mask fabrication you can probably add ~2 months to that. And thats just for the chips. Remember, HF has had chips for 6 weeks now.
