Well you are certainly safe from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

But Dr. Sherwani and his team with over 100 years of ASIC expertise? Maybe not so much. Tongue

This fact isn't lost on Ken and Co. He isn't just developing a 28nm ASIC he is developing it with a company that has a custom, fast paced, and easily scaled production process. eAsic is the edge ActM has over the competition and its a very sharp edge!

To be fair, KnC Miner is also getting their chips produced by eASIC through ORSoC so they will be one of our top competitors going forward. I think we will have an advantage over just about every other company looking to produce ASICs though.

Interesting article posted on the spec thread:

Avalon might be getting a $200 million investment and 20nm technology to become the leader of the mining market

It's a fake news , it's about Avalon Ventures, and it shows on January 10th, 2011.

from other thread..

Fake news or not, The asic competition has kicked in. This was from the hardware subforum

Cointerra, a well-funded startup of highly experienced ASIC designers, is pleased to announce that we are developing a high performance, low power and low cost 28nm ASIC which is expected to arrive in Q4 2013.

I'm not trying to discredit Activemining. Just trying to point out were the panic might be coming from. The fact is people saw great potential in asic manufacturing. Who knows how many more companies are trying to bring their own asic solutions.

delays and hiccups are normal.

having experience dealing with them is invaluable.

20nm is a challenge, but won't be avalon's first rodeo.

the VCs are watching these ASIC IPOs and have decided to take a piece of the action.

or rather, all the action. Undecided

Stop spreading FUD. The Avalon "news" is fake. The article talks about "unconfirmed rumors from an anonymous source" (read: shit pulled out of the author's ass) and the amount raised is both ludicrous and exactly the same amount that a venture capital firm called Avalon Ventures has raised on a regular basis in various funding rounds.
