I'm friends with jasinlee, have been for some time. No idea who Steamboat is
Steamboat did an ASIC buy, appeared to start out OK, and Mr JasinLee posted
I vouch for Steamboat, he has lent and borrowed small fortunes to and from me over the past couple months.
But unfortunately it turned out bad for a number of people, especially those who paid for chips, assembly, hosting fees up front, and they got SQUAT - no unit, no refund, no earnings.
Now XC has a scandal, and blocknet also controversy. Looks like the great unravelling.
