Great!   As soon as you have some of them stuck to something that is hashing, put some pictures up and a price list, and you might get some interest.

Your website is great.
Missing phone/address is not a good sign though.

I hope you will succed, USA based customers would be very happy if you do most effective asics chips and lead the race.

That team, wow.

The technical prowess of these ASIC designers is going up faster than the hash rate.

wow another ASIC. that too 28nm. What's the NRE for 28nm? I think it must be upwards of USD 10M, though I may be wrong.

@cointerra Are there any local jobs or near-site jobs available? I am approximately 1.5 hours from your location. I may also be able to do an on site interview of cointerra for the forums, once cointerra has a facility in Austin available for tour(if they plan on having this option.)

I know they are looking for part time graphics as they crowdsourced their logo using 99designs.co.uk a couple of months back.

Impressive team btw. Looks good so far, was looking at your site yesterday...

[superduh]

logo is soso- but, noone should care about it

[PeZ]

Nice scam. 

[eve]

Nice scam. 

Very much an Indian Project??

[nightengale]

Looking forward to technical details and pricing. Might even be worth the drive if Cointerra is planning to host some sort of open-day or is willing to entertain visitors...?

Ok, so by 'well funded' they mean a $1.2m 'Angel investment' which for all intensive purposes will be spanked on the journey to tape-out. Also I doubt their own wages come cheap. So they are almost certainly a few mil shy of 28nm fab, therefore we can almost certainly assume another pre-order which will undoubtedly elicit a familiar response, but again is par for the course as they have no significant funding to manufacture otherwise.

Timewise it appears to be they will be head to head with Hashfast. Seed funding wise both Hashfast and Cointerra have tape out covered. Hashfast have 'partnered' with Uniquify that almost certainly means they have given away equity for use of time, staff and deskspace and split costs associated with tape out...

What the hell are you talking about?  Is this some kind of nationalistic bullshit?  This ain't the Olympics; customers worldwide would be very happy with an effective hash solution that didn't entail pre-order nonsense and was sold at a reasonable price.

No, but I for one find it not only impressive, but somehow comforting, that within two hours of initially announcing their firm here, somebody has identified the origin and development strategy for the logo.  Since BFL (and Avalon) potential vendors are not given very much slack around here.

Where are you based? We are in Austin. Shoot an email to info@cointerra.com. We can schedule a meeting.

Maybe, and i hope you're wrong on that.  Here's the risk in pre-orders at this point, and why I'm more puzzled with each new one.  

Nobody is going to buy into a pre-order scheme without some way (escrow, PayPal, credit card) to refund the order any more. And all it's going to take is one announcement by someone who has the chip on the board and the board in the box with the mailing label stuck on the day the credit card authorizes.  Every one of the pre-orders would be a ghost town at that point.

You can say "yeah, but nobody has that kind of money."  Would you be willing to bet a couple million dollars on that?  Because that's what these pre-orders are doing.

We are in Austin.

Even though I'm not there all the time (like when the heat index is 100+), I have a farm in Caldwell County. 

That makes you my home team.  Go, cointerra!

Thanks for rooting for Cointerra! We will make all Texans proud
