You claim that Zeushash has no endorsement from asic vendor, but they owned by Zeus miner and they are a asic miner vendor. Zeus miner's website has a direct link to Zeushash on top navigation in their website: https://zeusminer.com/

Also Cointellect uses Zeus miners as their very first pictures from their datacenter shows:

Additionally they also mentioned that they are using LKETC and Zeus in their news which was published on 18th of September: https://cointellect.com/news/view/?id=14

Even http://dc.cointellect.com broadcasts from LKETC's datacenter as they broadcasts their servers which hosts A1 hosted contracts.

So I think number 2 should be dropped for Cointellect and Zeushash.
