The updates to the site would imply that he intends to make good on the promise of delivering 45nm FPGA's. 

I'm not sure if this is accurate, but I read that HardCopy is trademarked by Altera and that they use TSMC for fabrication - and that TSMC doesn't even do 45nm. 

Interesting.  I know very little about Altera, the Xilinx version is called easypath. Don't BFL use stratix? (altera 45nm)... so could a single do 2+gh/s?

The problem is that nothing about Can Electric indicates that they have any experience in the IT field - and the revised BitcoinASIC site claims that they do and that they can do all sorts of hardware stuff in-house.  Their claims are so outrageous that I doubt anyone's even going to make a phone call to Iraq, although someone might email the real Can Electric tomorrow.


Thats kinda what I was hinting at, the bloke seems to have no experience with micro electronics, but is quite accountable and seems to publicly know about hivolt (not that it has that much to do with bitcoin) - He has a reputation I would imagine he would want to protect.  So I assume he did not know what he was getting into, or Tom approached him back in November.

The updates to the site would imply that he intends to make good on the promise of delivering 45nm FPGA's.  I have no problem phoning Iraq.  I will probably try Canada first though, he doesn't look like he would be a hard man to track down.

I really want to know what this bloke has or thinks he has bought...  Why is Toms licensed ASIC SHA core any better than Bitfury (V. from birfury is a genius...) esp. when bitfury can provide an excellent FPGA core, rather than having to reshovel an ip asic design. it makes no sense.

It seems the bloke was immigrant of the year 2011, or something.  google his name, he seems to know his hivolt power...

anyway, the question that is burning me up is Tom never developed his own asic hashing core, he licensed it from somewhere else. So what has can-electric actually bought? The rights to use someone else's core? why not just ask that company themselves?

I just don't get it.

Also does anyone remember Tom vanishing to Canada around Nov time?

Re-branding bASIC would be quite a challenge anyway but it definitely can't be done when everything connected with that re-branding so far looks dodgy as hell to the extent that people aren't even sure this isn't Tom using the name of an obscure company without their knowledge.

Email sent to Can Electric using the email address on the actual Can Electric website.

Does anyone remember Tom vanishing to Iraq around November?  Although the real Can Electric site gives both a Canadian phone number and an Iraqi one, only the Iraqi number is given in the "Contact US" section of the bitcoinASIC site.

Iraqi-Asian-Canadian-NewYork Company with an official workforce of 2 with 1 million in pre-sales already.....look all they are missing is the kidnapped Canadian  princess that we have to rescue from the castle who is secretly working for the CIA while infiltrating Al-Cadia posted to Iraq

Bitcoin, you couldnt make shit this good up .... Cheesy ......lol .... Cry

And yet you just know that someone is going to place a real order with them in spite of all the red flags "just in case" they're legitimate.

Is this a "Canadian" company?

The Iraq number is a mobile phone number (I guess prepaid) from KorekTel Mobile

1-800-Al-Cadia...  And let me guess their ASIC Miners are DA BOMB

This is Bruno (will confirm in a sec by replying to post). I created this account mainly for the sole purpose as a character to interact in this game: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/game-bas-satoshi-121306

If I don't get out ASAP, I will fire up Nikki the Bitch and raise all kinds of hell provided, of course, theymos didn't permanently ban her (which I think he did).

Cute gimmick Phinn.

The Can Electric ToS lists NY as the relevant jurisdiction - which is kind of curious for a Canadian company based in Iraq.  It's not so curious if this is some bullshit move to try make people think someone new is in charge of bASIC, though.

Why isn't the Canadian phone number for the real Can Electric listed on the site?  Are they just hoping that no-one's going to phone the Iraq number?

Did somebody hack one of my other accounts? I hope Al is okay.  Grin

Well if ths was real and my BTC refund money could be reapplied to getting one of these(for damn sure)... I would take that offer =)

At this point I'll believe anything, even if it involves Can-Electric Asain Overlords. A Strange Brew indeed.

Asian-Canadians residing in Iraq but under the jurisdiction of New York law? Me gusta.

Great lords of thunder!  What!??? I thought they were NOT going to ask for any pre-orders till a YouTube video of a hashig rig was released.

The Bitcoin Foundation already released a video of their Avalon hashing away...
