BitFury has become a well run business. It has emerged as the only company that went from "amateur hour" to professional business. Look at the C-Level team; look at their Board; look at their investors! the new chip coming out any time will be game changer and thats on 28 nm (!!!) Can you imagine what they ll do on 16 Huh

GAME OVER.. Question how do others keep BitFury contain so there is no great deal of centralization ?

Bitfury are hoping for 0.2 J/Gh for their next gen ASICs, AM already have 0.2 J/Gh ASIC samples and are expecting mass production to begin in February. Do you have a source for when Bitfury's next gen ASICs be will available? I've heard nothing about that. At the moment though, BitFury are a joke. Look at their new cloudmining offering - Bit-x:

Compare that to AMHash's last dividend of 0.00000788 BTC.

Bitfury is MASSIVE, they went the private route but have been excellently successful. Thier first-gen design was terrific, and they very quickly (with gen1 chips) discovered the benefits of running 15(?) chips in series on a 12V capacitated source, eliminating all the efficiency looses of a DC/DC regulator component. They then redesigned a 2nd-gen 55nm chip that was about 15% more powerful at the same power draw, to achieve better that 1w/Gh. They deployed over 50MW/50PH of hashrate already, in larger private entities.

Their next chip can easily achieve 0.2-0.3w/GH is moving to the 28nm node realises the potential 4x efficiency gains, if not more if they further develop the chip.
