as there are 20,000,000 Ghash on the network at present, 5 mil will not make a massive difference.

I think honestly you shouldn't overreact - they probably are only going to be adding maybe in the ballpark of 1 PH/s to the network? By the time they are online, it will only be between 0.5 and 2% of the overall network considering how much other hash power is being supplied by the various companies in the next several months. By the end of 2014/early 2015 it would probably be at 0.1%. Irrelevant.
Agreed

and bitcoin is officially out of the general public.  Sad  These big companys doing this is taking away the network security by making it all centuralized. Cry. Make the network strong by a shit tone of people hosting miners not just a few big companys...

They are using 55nm asics.
Not going to turn a profit.
At least not at current BTC/USD prices.

I might be wrong. But i would've gone with newer 28 nm asics.

Why would they need to go with a 28nm process, when the BitFury chips are MUCH cheaper to process (giving you higher GHs/USD), and are also amazingly power efficient (even beating out KNC's 28nm).

With a $5million purchase, you can bet they weighed ALL their options before they bought anything.

I am guessing they did not do their homework. I only spent 2G's and did almost a months worth of work. I was like GD..

Who's dumber - the guys who think they will mine lots of BTC with USB Erupters (that's what it looks like in the photo), or the people who gave them all that money?

 Huh

stock photo...I'm sure they didn't build a $5 million dollar block erupter farm.

The articles does not say they have purchased usb miners with this 5 million dollars, perhaps they contracted Bitfury to build a number od specialty units for this project.  Hopefully a group that can raise 5 mil, can hire someone smart enough to do it right!  The picture is a stock photo from a conference display.  Read before you post about a room full of USB miners!
