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.

There is a good chance none will ship at all.

Graet you'll get over it.
I have to mention that BFL out started at the bottom of the line with now all of the sudden jumping on top.

I was certain it would be BFL, but not so sure anymore.
I think bASIC or BFL will ship, then whoever lost the race will ship whatever they have the same day to whoever they can.

I think that BLF and bASIC will ship in less than one week within the other.
This topic has a huge potential.

Do you want to bet on that? On topic: I think bASIC will ship first and BFL will ship more efficient devices.

Do you want to bet on that? On topic: I think bASIC will ship first and BFL will ship more efficient devices. Why am I always asked out to bet when I am stating the mere possibility of something? I mean BFL is run by a convicted felon, and the rest of them announced them afterwards, with almost identical specs. What is so hard to grasp that given the circumstances, even if this weren't bitcoin there would be the strong possibility of fraud. Could it all turn out to be genuine? Or even based on false accusations? Who the frack knows. But until something else has been established you guys have to at least acknowledge that doing business with BFL and their imitators is significantly more risky than lets say buying socks.

Dear lord someone with some sense lol I have not seen reason to believe ill practices by any of company's but BFL thus far.
