'tape out' completed 
this was totally unexpected, now I'm excited
Joeventura and his insider information has been wrong with his predictions that there wasn't going to be a physical miner, and I was actually starting to beleive him.
So how long does it take to slice and package wafers? Anyone?
ok ok you can come back Orama... this is good news and we can all be friends again

Not long. The time consuming parts still ahead are validation and building the mask set. Time to package, if I remember correctly, is around 49 days from tape out.
