In order of size of company, i suspect a more realistic list would be: BitFury is 1st, KnCMiner 2nd, Bitmain 3rd, Cointerra 4th, etc.. this size rating probably works regardless of whether you measure by petahash or revenue. I doubt asicminer is even relevant at this time. They're no longer Huge. They were HUGE when the network was less than 1 Petahash - now they're a minnow - and got left behind when the others designed better chips.

Are you forgetting that asicminer had 60PH worth of wafers to sell as of ~2 months ago? That's probably more than bitfury has ever produced.

Anyways it's pointless to speculate because nobody knows the exact (or even approximate) size of every company.

we have no evidence asicminer ordered 60 PH of chips. thats a huge amount, and they don't seem to be in evidence anywhere. And anyway, where'd they get the cash to buy such a large order? that would cost tens of millions of dollars. Also, their chip isn't the world beater they thought it was going to be and ended up pretty uncompetitive... if they had any sense they'd not order too many as it'd be unprofitable to run it this late in the game. when they were originally planning to make such big orders it was going to be the best chip by a huge margin and much lower power consumption than it ended up. Its a common problem that has befallen almost every asic company - of the chips not performing quite as good as they expected (yes, even bitfury whose chips were rated at 5 GH and ended up at 2.5 GH... same with Cointerra shipping a 1.6 TH instead of a 2 TH system, initially).

Why do you ridicule yourself by claiming there are no proof, when you clearly haven't done your homework?
