I figured I would create a central thread to track progress of ASIC-based mining devices as we get closer. Post any new and relevant updates you find about any of the ASICs being developed.

It seems there are several devices that are on an almost even playing field for who may ship first. First shipments are incredibly important to the other companies because these will be much more profitable devices especially if other companies aren't far behind. There are also a lot of orders at stake.

Poll info: Users are allowed to change their vote as we get new information. This makes it more likely to reflect the most recent confidence in a product.

[1.443 THash/s]

Is it just me or is this address (mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR) producing block very quickly on the test net. I'm not 100% with these calculations, but I'm sure someone will correct me soon enough  (please do)

According to: https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/q/hashestowin
it takes an average of 866076851417 hashes to win

According to: https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR
this address is producing a block about every 10 minutes (this is complete estimation, by all means run the timestamps for me if you desire).

(866076851417 hashes/block) / [(10 minutes/block)*(60 seconds/minute)] = 1443461419.03 hashes/second

= 1.443 THash/s

Anyone have the news on why Tradehill has halted trades? I see the Mt.Gox exchange has taken a nosedive. Is this from all of the Bitscalper sell offs or is there something else going on that the exchanges need to correct for.

Post your thoughts or any news you may have found regarding this.
