But the recent ETC 51% attack may be initiated by them. ?
No. We had nothing to do with the 51% attack. We don't have actual silicon yet. One of our goals with the Hyperminer technology is to help prevent 51% attacks by getting the right tools into as many hands as possible so that ASIC manufacturers have fewer attack vectors. In fact how to distribute our equipment without risking 51% attacks on smaller coins is very much one of our concerns. We are very interested in engaging the community on how to manage the transition away from GPUs.
Destroying the industry through 51% attacks serves nobody's interests in the long run.
