Connected to Luis via LinkedIn, this mean nothing, but it's still something.
I think the problem will be in Metabank & Bitfury, they have the chip only on paper. First test chips will be ready in August. By the words of its developer he will be surprised if it works from first time, and gives at least 2.5-3 months for testing&fixing. After that they have to create, test and fix boards, firmware, assembly everything, etc. I don't see this to be ready before January.
