impressive specs, if they are actual, but every time i hear anything about any ASIC chip manufacturer, especially selling to the consumer market, and doing pre-sales at that, I can only think of all the other failures and scams that have come before. I wonder if Fried Cat took his old IPs over to them and is covertly working there now?

The catch --> "However, there is a minimum order quantity of 333, bringing the total cost to 289.7 BTC ($68,000)." Add to that the import cost and duty fee's and by the time

you get them, they will be outdated and you will never see a ROI. The pre-order thing will not work, with all the pending court cases going on, where people are still trying to get

refunds from previous orders that got cancelled.
