Zum don't forget the predictions on CryptoTrade. VMC expects to sell 40Mill USD of chips in 2014. That is just chips, not machines or miners, just straight out of the Fab chips. They might be shipped direct to customers? Or maybe first to VMC before being sent onwards. But if the speed of production is in terms of days or a few weeks we could become a serious chip supplier to the industry.
Does anyone know if the chips can be put on any board or will the chip buyers also need to buy our custom boards too?
People were amazed when Avalon (first ASICs chips sold in large numbers when nobody else was doing it) managed to sell chips worth of ~8 mil USD. Throwing the 40 mil USD now with the huge increase in difficulty just makes me wonder how do people believe this. This is even worse than Labcoin posting naked PCBs.
