I can't keep up with this thread. The reading I've been doing has been disappointing. I'd appreciate it if everyone could cut the trolling and flaming and just speak about the issues at hand. Telling each other to F-off looks bad and the off topic conversations causes those with actual questions to get drowned out.
I have no updates at the moment.
Tell us this: which country are you based in? What is your relationship to BA? How come you didn't know the tapeout target was missed? Who made the decision to go ahead with the chip? What was the date of that? Why weren't we told about that decision before it happened?
I didn't know about the tapeout target because I'm not an engineer and I just deal with troubleshooting tickets and trying to answer questions. I am not one of the two or so people who have access to bank accounts or bitcoin wallets. I do not know who made the decision to go ahead with the chip. I'd guess it was the highest level of BA since I wasn't a part of the decision. I don't know the date either.
Ok. Then you have nothing and cannot help. I am sorry, but those are the facts. BA still has not levelled with us.
