With sufficient funding, how long would it take to roll out usable ASICs based on a multi algo concept?
I know people who work with VHDL, but nothing about ASIC manufacturing prices Smiley Numbers out of thin air for FPGA route  - I'd expect 300 MH/s X11 algo board with 6 Spartan 6 LX150 chips to be developed in half of year with 50000 USD development cost, production price would be something like 2000 USD per board. (Anyone with actual field knowledge is welcome to correct me!)

Do you think you can hold up to AMD and nVidia? They are not gonna miss that boat for very much longer.
Not only for crypto hashing, but for any kind of a custom instruction set for scientific applications.
They are not sleeping on trees.
Err... Implementing bit matrix rotation instruction would give AMD a huge advantage in crypto world... and possibly an export ban Smiley And for most scientific calculation NVidia is already the best choice.

no offense smolen was just stating the facts.. you did what you did before Wink
No offense noticed Smiley
