It now depends who has the deepest pocket.  Roll Eyes

ASIC has basically transformed the industry into this, yes.  Unless you have product in your hands right now, the benefit is back in the hands of old money again.  What else is new...

now, dont get me wrong I hate BFL w/ every fiber in my body but... at least theyve shipped something. All the companies are vaporware at this point afaik.

BFL can produce a product, but their time to market is atrocious.  And their estimations have always been terrible.  If you aren't 1st in line with them, don't bother.

So your bets are on BFL to win the race... Ok.

BFL will _definitely_ not win the race, with their "shipping in 2 weeks" trade mark.

** Notice the Virtual Mining/VMC , having the best prices per hash, and them being 28nm chips.



So it seems that we have a race here,

Most are shipping their chips, during november, ActiveMining promissed, to ship, by the end of october..

Coincraft - by december

KnCminer - by the end of november

and CoinTerra saying during January's batch...

Hashfast -  shipping in mid to late november

BFL - November/December (initial shipping), and January/February (bulk shipping)

So lets see who's gonna win this race, starting october to december will be indeed an interesting times for bitcoin.
