You better be prepared to answer a lot of questions just to let you know a head of time. would you have an open day to visit your facility and show case your Asic Miner? Do you plan to have STOCKS on hand before taking order? What payments options do you plan on having, paypal, credit and debit cards, STP, Perfect Money, Payza, okpay, bank wire, bitcoin, instalments plan?

We are well prepared, i've replied to your email as well. We will have an open day in our offices and will show up prototypes of technology at work, once it is ready.
As i said earlier, we surely plan to have stock before taking ANY order. Regarding payment methods, maybe the question is still too early, but i will try to respond  :

1) Bitcoin
2) Bank Wire

Paypal is just outside our interest. We want them to sink, not finance them further.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Let me get this straight! It took you 14 posts to try to get outta Newbie hell over a period of a month, when it can be accomplished in 5 hours, yet you're here to convince us that you have the next best thing to help protect the network, and all we will accomplished without a hitch. Golly gee, I'm all goatse!

Now, I have to read this thread to see if it's warranted to stick it up your ass--further!

After reading your first 15 posts, I'm pretty sure we're dealing with a kid here, someone with the same mentality that would propose starting a Bitcoin Town.

that s interesting but your partner is little bit arrogant one

i do remember to have ask him to give me an advice/help on one vhdl design my tech wasnt able to synthetize and thie guy have replied as if it was only the one who will be able to achieve anything

but anyone world is large and there is space for anyone even for arrogant people

Sure. Since we're avoiding most EDA tools licensing costs...
How do you avoid the cost of EDA tools?

did he say he is using some university facilities to reduce costs, since his development costs is minimal
hope he give us much cheaper price than others ..? most of us has already spend our very little funds available
on Avalon, Butterfly, Bitfury, Kncminer --- what is left?

Who or what is the European part of this company ?
+1

Also, will you actually sell hardware (blades) or shares? Not sure I understand...

The business model part mentions that, this is a decision that has not been yet taken. It depends on many still "unknow" factors.

EDIT : Further elaborating  with this bit from our website :

"At the moment we are able to fund a first test run of version 1 IC and continue development of version 2.
If v.1 IC test run is successful, we will purchase a run for 100.000 ICs which should yeld about 30 TH/sec in total.
We will deploy half of this hashing power for private use and re-sell the remaining stock of ICs in the form of high powered 'blade-like' devices.
Income generated will go toward the completion and tape-out of the version 2 IC."

The "unknow" factors, refer to the success/failure of first 180nm test run, on the success of which, depends a further, bigger run of ICs.
We still need to iron out some quirks with the preliminar design before we can safely go on tape-out phase, so you should get what i'm talking about, there are many 'chained' events which depend on each other success before we can achieve significant results and talk about selling devices or shares.
Nice - I will be interested in both options but if you ship from Asia (I live in Europe) maybe better if I have hosting/shares option.
Good luck anyway!

awesome! always good to see new players coming in. anyway keep your design simple guys and don't overstretch yourselves trying to win race in how advanced and latest NM technology you should have.. start with cheapest and fastest route to market which seems to be 130nm so far and once you have the lead sky is the limit. i'm sure most of us here don't care how ugly the board looks like as long as it hashes and stable... If you look at BFL it just got itself way too overstretched trying to win NM die size race...

Thanks for the interest so far. We will keep everyone updated about our progress.

Thanks for your input.  Our main priority now is finalizing the design and put the ICs with a 180nm feature size in production.
