Tel: 13581816335 Zhao Dong's QQ group: 326548639

In the weibo below, one people replys:
So cheap, is it Asicminer's chip?
Zhao replys:"Yes"
Then he ask again:
Asicminer's gen3 haven't tapeout yet, can it mass production in April?
Zhao replys:"Almost"

Sorry for my poor English translation, the original weibo can be found here:

I have snapshoted the weibo and the chat.

Actually I don't think they will use chips from AM in the first patch of miner.

FYI, they have their own ASIC chips and it is already taped out.

Zhao is the owner of the miner company.
They don't have their own asic, and Zhao stated clearly they will use asicminer's chip.

Indeed they have ordered wafers from AM, but AM is NOT their ONLY supplier.

According to what he said in a QQ group, their have their OWN chips and would also order chips from KnC and Avalon.

April 20 is not the deadline for shipment, but for the launch of their own hosting service.

Estimated delivery date is from Apr. 20 to 27. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I didn't notice they mentioned KnC. You are right, AM is not their only chips supplier and they claimed they have their own chips.

Why would they want to use knc less efficient chips when they will be shipping months after AM.

Could be that, a hacker found a security hole on havelock but was smart enough not to do things too suspicious, so he attacked one small fish, and waiting to do more bit by bit.

Why?

Why not empty havelocks hotwallet while you can? Soon they will add some better security features hopefully preventing things like this.

Anyways we should stay on topic. Or create a separate thread for discussion about the hack.

He did. *sigh*
Yeah, back to AM!

[CMMPro]

I've never heard of even one legit claim that using a secure password, and 2fa someone was cleaned out like this.

I would say for him to look a little closer to home...if he has no keylogger, remote desktop trojan etc. than start looking at anyone who may have had physical access to his pc....girlfriend, best friend, dog...who knows.
