There seems to be only one place sanity is allowed, either in the general btc market, or the ActM thread. The moment btc prize stabilizes I expect hell to return to this thread. In the mean time however, it warms my heart to see everyone getting along. I am admittedly somewhat confused as to what eASIC has to do with actual chip production, I know that they designed the chip for us, but are they also acting as an intermediary for our foundry or are we dealing with the foundry directly? Also, has there been any word from people who have received their VMC machine(s)?

We don't have a foundry in the traditional sense. eASIC uses their foundry connections as these foundries have to use eASIC's specific wafers (The ones that are already made up with specific layers) to create the chips. So while eASIC is Fabless, you are forced to use their fabs and they put the orders through.
