Incredibly frustrating when someone spoofs your business name. I suppose I should have bought every possible combination of our name in order to keep these trollers from making us seem like a scam only days after we launch.

Just wanted to dispel this spammer. Apparently only moments after we went live on our site, www.asictechnologies.com, a fake/spam company bought asic-technologies.com, and put up some mini-ITX case as well as some auctions mentioned here. We are not affiliated with them, their site and descriptions are clearly a scam. Unfortunately, even people working to start a legitimate products firm are facing nearly unlimited onslaught of scammers these days. Unfortunately, it does not seem there is anything we can do about it other than ignore their trash. |

Agreed, this was a concern, it's actually a non-compete agreement. Fortunately, a Bitcoin mining product doesn't compete with anything we currently work on. Yes, our design team all have day jobs in the defense industry, just as we advertise. So, while we have been working this in our personal time for months, we aren't quite ready to all abandon our day jobs until we learn what the market interest & reaction will be. Some of us have families, etc, and it will be a little time before we are ready to make the jump. I hope this is understandable. It's quite possible that we will need to pursue VC funding in order to get this done, if there are few orders, it all depends on interest, though we've had quite a few interested folks so far. While it may sound extraordinary to some that we've been working on a full custom design, honestly we do this for a living and it isn't all that extraordinary to us. Hence we have been pursuing this for some time. In any case, we only accept Paypal as of now, and I hope this offers a level of buyer protection and security for you!
I can warm up to this. What bothers me, and should be bothering you, is that all job contracts I've seen in the States specifically prevent employees from running a related business in their free time. Government employer was no exception. |

Certainly fair and not unexpected comments. To answer a few of these, we have filed with SDSOS, but it will probably take up to 10 days to complete. We're in process of setting up an office, since our small team is in several locations around the US, it hasn't been worthwhile to set up a physical address just yet. We registered the domain by proxy because, understandably, I dont like my personal information all over the internet - I'm sure any of you would do the same at first.
We are currently in a 28nm design flow, and as for shipping date, we are scheduling into a run, but essentially it hinges entirely on the success of our offering. If we get enough orders, we'll be delivering in 2-3 months. If not, we'll have to refund what orders we have taken so far and pursue venture capital, which is much more expensive and will impact our prices. I figure the peace of mind offered with Paypal should help in making the case that we are legitimate. @warzor still working on those 1nm chips...

Hi All, I would like to introduce you to ASIC Technologies, www.asictechnologies.com. ASIC Technologies started in late 2012 as an exploratory project by a small team of ASIC and FPGA chip designers working at defense OEMs and a fab who were interested in the potential of Bitcoin and pleased by the success of the first advanced mining systems. Since development of these chips was our speciality at work, we decided to investigate our ability to develop a custom chip for hashing Bitcoin. As our design matured in early 2013, we grew confident our products will meet target specifications and compete with others in the expanding marketplace, improving competition in a currently somewhat-monopolized space. It seems that most of the major vendors (BFL, kncminer, etc) have promising designs but are, as of yet, slow to get their supply chains going and products shipping. Our team has relationships with many custom ASIC chip developers for defense applications, and I believe these relationships and our experience delivering these chips to defense clients will assist us in meeting our deadlines better than prior firms. Please feel free to check out www.asictechnologies.com and post feedback here. I'm a new registrant to this forum, but not new to reading about complaints about the current companies, so i anticipate this post will be moved to the custom mining hardware thread. Thanks! |
