Not sure if legit
or just trolling.



Come si dice in giro, la notizia potrebbe essere riadattata a partire da notizia vecchia. Ci sono incongruenze: la compagnia non si chiama Avalon in effetti (piuttosto sarebbe il prodotto), bensì BitSynCom LLC. Senza considerare che non vedo come uno che ha lavorato con Soros si metta ad investire 200mln USD in un'operazione di mining, e per di più:
Avalon’s mining equipment will not be made available to the public.

dafuq?

da qua:http://bitcoinexaminer.org/avalon-might-be-getting-a-200-million-investment-and-20nm-technology-to-become-the-leader-of-the-mining-market/
Again, these are rumors and information provided by an anonymous source that we can only hope to confirm in the next few days, although the level of secrecy around this deal suggests that the venture will be kept in secret for a while.

In ogni caso, fosse vera, non vedo alcun beneficio per btc.

The private equity fund – called the Phoenix Fund – is set to sign the deal on Tuesday in Amsterdam.

The Phoenix Fund is understood to be backed by a small number of individuals, including Joe Lewis, the billionaire foreign exchange trader who teamed up with hedge fund manager George Soros to bet against sterling in 1992. The deal has been put together by Andrew Laurus, a former government bonds salesman at Lehman Brothers, who is also an investor in the fund.

Avalon was set up by Yifu Guo, a pioneer in the bitcoin mining industry. He was a member of the team that developed the first ASIC bitcoin mining hardware. Lewis and Guo could not be reached for comment.

As part of the deal, Avalon will gain access to TSMC microchips based on 20-nanometre processes, which are much faster than other chips. TSMC recently won a contract to supply chips to Apple. The increased processing power should give Avalon an edge in solving the algorithms that control the supply of bitcoins.

The Phoenix private equity fund looked at other bitcoin mining companies, including Butterfly Labs and KnCMiner but decided against investing, one of the people said. Avalon’s mining equipment will not be made available to the public.
