Now, back on topic. I am still talking to an ASIC supplier twice per week waiting on updates. Still nothing on the Bitfury front. I have also been reaching out to BW (I will have a hell of a phone bill this month I am sure) but that is in its infancy and I will update if anything comes of it.
I make this prophecy:
You will get nothing out of BW and you will keep getting nothing out of Bitfury and you have no fortune with Bitmain absolutely! Not a strange and exciting enough prophecy?
not a fault of me, the poor ordinary prophet!
The Almighty assigns simple jobs to me
I love being the ASSHOLE so here we go - after reading your comment above, where in HELL do you expect to get ASICS if other seasoned forum members cannot get them. Is the Majestical Fucking ASIC Fairy going to sprinkle her fairy dust on some corn flakes for you?
ps- if you say you are going to design and produce them, please lock this thread and let it go away gracefully
first: I think you don't understand what ASIC is, and how much it costs us to develop an open-to-market ASIC chip, so you just, 'guess' it is very complicated and 'too advanced' while it is not.
second: A properly organised community can negotiate and control far more better than a single person.
third: You better understand one single important point: We have no choice other than fighting together to the last minute, no other choice and there is hope.
WOW - I like the insult but I am aware of what an ASIC is, but I think you are the one that is delusional. What type of money do you think it will take to design and fab an ASIC that can compete with the current generation? Secondly, how soon do you think you could get it done with the current backlog of chips being produced? Do you think your long speeches will get Global Foundaries to let you go ahead of the billion dollar companies?
Please elaborate on the budget and timeframe you are looking at because the only person on this thread without a clue seems to be the OP.
No you are not aware, I bet.
As for your budget inquiry of the project:
Ethereum community is far behind Bitcoin's and its market cap is nothing compared to Bitcoin,
DAO initiative was immature and full of flaws (A Turing complete enabled smart contract is the most error prone approach proposed to a problem of this class ever ) and everybody knew it,
Nobody has ever discovered a use case for smart contracts in mainstream business, Bitcoin is already a part of it,
Ethereum itself is not under ASIC attack and not in an emergency (Bitcoin is)
And guess what? they raised 200 or so million dollars for what? Investing in
hypothetical Ethereum and smart contract related startups!
It is a shame! Shame on this Bitcoin Foundation ...
I mean who are this guys and WTF are they doing? Fighting Bitcoin Classic guys and doing snake business with Gavin?
The whole technology is under ASIC attack, community mining is obsolete and centralization is out there and they are playing 'I'm the most clever teenager ever' game with their SegWit (an obvious software bloat, an 'I am very clever' piece of programming trick, so ordinary, so dirty, so worthless) ...
What the hell are they doing?
