Re: Block Erupter: Dedicated Mining ASIC Project (Open for Discussion) December 14, 2012, 12:18:18 PM #183 My guess is it is because people are starting to doubt BFL ever delivering.



The 50TH farm ASICMINER wants to set up will be deployed over a period of months. Back in the day when this project was started up BFL had already sold 100's of TH in pre-orders with a promise to deliver in October 2012 as they had "learned from their mistakes". ASICMINER and its 50TH farm would have never been a problem if BFL had delivered.



Now people are seeing it as a threat as 50TH would be enough to take over the block chain should BFL fail to produce a single working chip.



But it would not be in the interest of the shareholders if ASICMINER became a threat to Bitcoin as the value of BTC would plummet.



Should BFL go bust then I think it is in everyone's interest if ASICMINER changed it's business plan to make sure everyone understand and sees it is not a threat to anything or anyone.



As it stands at the moment, ASICMINER will be the first ASIC around and small enough to NOT be a threat to Bitcoin. Doe sit suck for people that invested heavily with BFL, of course it does.... but does that mean that ASICMINER is a threat? NO !
