Is just me thinking it is about FriedCat?
In the grand scheme of things, why not.
However, as SFARDS spawned from GridSeed (+ WiiBox + etc.), and GridSeed's chip was largely a Gridchip design - who made a chip design independently a while back and also was involved in the first Avalon (A3256) design - it's not like they'd need him. Plus, can you imagine the sh*tstorm if it turned out they had done so, not to mention potential legal ramifications
Well if they picked ScamCat to help with that chip then it will probably be a flop/off spec/fire hazard. I hope SFARDS will deliver a quality product and sell to us small miners. We all know that Bitmain will just keep raising prices on us due to no competition.
