50/50 that they taped it out already. The IP is valuable, but do you want to talk about a 16nm chip already taped out? Now, that would save the ship.

Let me dream.

That's what I'm saying.  The value may be in the new chip design (IP), if they learned enough about "substrates" to get it right the second time around.

I imagine Eddie has been careful to create companies with an alleged arms-length distance from Hashfast to own that IP, and that it will be argued that those holdings shouldn't be part of the proceeding.  Just a thought.



EDIT:  Actually, I suppose what they learned about substrates isn't relevant to the future, because nobody would put them in charge of the PCB again.  What matters is that there'd be somebody that could do that job competently.
