i personally believe those designs should be open source anyways. After what many mining companies have done to maximize their profits at the expense of the miner.. i dont really see it as stealing. Did they make their own actual boards? The case appears to be yes.. and this is likely to be the same company/families sharing the plans and making a new company. Its not exactly secret technology by any means.

it is not the same people - the guy who developed them is the one that originally stated they stole his programming, his design and basically copy/pasted his sale thread - the original poster was banned from the forums because of the plagiarism even.

This is all very interesting.. so they stole the method to fabricate the chips? Or they actually stole the microchips? Im very confused about how they went about doing that.

they took one of his units, tore it apart and reverse engineered it basically - it is all explained if you read this thread from the start.

Excuse my ignorance but dont asic chips have to be fabricated in big factories?

the chip yes - but the rest of it - because there is more than just an asic chip here - has to also be engineered/fabricated/made/put together - they did a copy of it --- did not create/make their own in other words. then their for sale post was just a straight copy/paste of his.
