What is this 1% thing? Emilia Cole told me in the afternoon, face to face, that the chips were already hashing above 400 GH/s (she even gave another value that I was told not to relay so I won't). Didn't even talk very much. Very straightforward!
That contradicts the recent statement made by the person that Bitcoinorama interviewed, where it is indicated the chip is not working as expected. There is no evidence the chips are hashing at any speed. It is becoming obvious that KnCminer is still testing the chip with the PCB. At this point it is quite difficult to trust that "the chips were already hashing above 400 GH/s" when the person responsible for the tests stated that "below 1% of the die is working".
