I noticed recently some adds for the 4g/h little BitFury ASIC miner and I thought, "wow, this looks awesome". I was really interested to follow the link and would love to buy one, UNTIL, I noticed the TM sign and the picture pointing out that they plan to "protect our Intellectual Property (IP).
Besides insulting the intelligence of everyone who doesn't work there, I find the idea of IP an abhorrent reminder that there are still people in this world who believe that just because they thought of something, no one else is allowed to think of it.
When will the majority of people be more open minded to our ability to see through walls. You cannot keep a secret like this and expect everyone to just say "yeah, we aren't worthy to think of that".
So to everyone at BitFury, I hope your little ASIC is ripped of by some clever Chinese people selling it for half the price. And to everyone else who would like to stand up for the "right" of IP to tell others what to do, tell someone who cares.
Sincerely,
Taking IP and throwing it under a bus

I hope that it's the giant INTEL, SAMSUNG, GF and all the others who will finally produce their chips, I am sure they all have better prototypes, even if just in simulation... a fab war
