Japanese company GMO announcing new hardware and mining operation

[xFGND]

Do we know when the timeline will be released? This looks really promising if I can get my hands on it.

There hasn't been any and with no real consumer 7nm chips even out for desktop and laptop processors, I'd stick with NotFuzzyWarm's estimate of late 2018 at best. Sales also haven't been announced yet at all, seems reasonable as the tech isn't even there for any real 7nm production yet.

Not so fast.
GMO said that they will launch a lower hashrate miner , then a miner board (which seems that plug able in desktop)

However, all those projects need money, hence the route for an ICO in Q1 2018

Not to mention that as in the case of most ICO's it gives the scammers investors who already sunk millions into the company a way to cash out at the expense of new Investards.

Oh man this is spot on. I wouldn't be surprised if every mining ICO turns out to be a "steal the money and run" scam.

How to buy chips or boards from GMO?
Does anyone have contacts with the company that produces the chips within the GMO consortium?

God forbid you actually read the threads about 7nm chips and this pie-in-the-sky project.... 7nm thread Or for that matter, perhaps read the 1 page of posts in this one 
NO ONE - not even Intel or IBM - can produce 7nm chips at this time and most projections from them put it in late 2018 AT BEST.

indeed ... only those esoteric academic chips , I can name one or two

Wow, this is the best news i heard today because i went to bitmain.com several times trying to by S9 miners but they are out-of-stock. looking forward to this company for their wonderful miners that they are planning to build for us. may be i should start planning travelling to Japan for these miners

Don't start making those travel plans yet. Everything GMO is talking about regarding mining buries the needle on the bullshit meter.

I'd love to see some fine Japanese engineered ASICs, their standards are much higher. I'll wait and see, with a healthy dose of skepticism and refrain from any hype.

Did you even read the long post you unnecessarily quoted in full? Its a company announcing (or optimistically stipulating) that they will/want to make this, next year.
