So, which is it? There is a lawsuit over the miner design, like you stated above, or the power supply circuit design?
Can you provide any source to these very speculative statements?
I said design, not miner design,
It's a bit odd that WhatsMiner has not sold anything directly for some time. You can only purchase from Pangolin and they are removing all branding from units and power supplies. They will not sell or ship to China, yet are located in China. Maybe the pending legal claims are why Kodak backed out of a purchase order if there is any truth to that either?
I apologize, beings that this thread is specific to the miner itself, I was under the impression that was the topic of your statement.
From what I could dig up, it appears the original designer(Yang) of Bitmain's "technology", who now works for his own company (bitwei)
and wants the rights for his invention:
The technology, formerly created by Yang Zuoxing, former Bitmain director of design, is one of the keys making the Bitmain ASIC machines unique. But Zuoxing wants to revert ownership of the patent, and most probably use it to the benefit of his own company, Bitewei.
Reference to quote:
https://cryptovest.com/news/bitmain-patent-runs-out-will-this-change-the-face-of-mining/Can't say that I blame Yang for wanting his work credited to him, nor would it be bad PR for his company. Many mining companies
likely changed their business plans, because of the impending mining/electricity restrictions coming out of China.
