aggh the misery
but seriously after being screwed by BFL, bAsic and what every avalon is doing now - none of this is helping the rest of the miners
I have spoke with several SoC/asic companies and there are plenty of sha-256 designes (asic/fpga) out there, granted they aren't for mining
I'm looking to get enough people together to make a truely "community" asic, with a long term goal of a scalable, paralleled system that can be geared for the DIY or soup-to-nuts complete units
any interest?
