RE: Qbt interview4 Feb 2026 14:21
Just listened to the interview, another confusing talk!
Previously he has stated "However, due to the need for the hardware version to be integrated into the ASIC architecture, a process which could take up to 18 months for the new chip to come to market, it has been mutually agreed to give operational priority to the new software version, as a commercial roll-out is expected to be achieved"
Fine, but in the interview he talks about training the Oracle and it has to be specifically the ASIC used in the machines. QBT have to understand how the ASICs work internally. He goes onto say there is legal paperwork for the software and it's not as simple as signing a NDA and coming to pick up the machine tomorrow.
It is confusing because we don't know if he's talking about the soft or hard Method C. We know fro. RNS 12 Nov 2025
" the performance of this new software-only version is independent of the ASIC being used in the miner."
So what on earth was this update about?
PS: incidentally what was learned, after waffling in other RNS about the 10,000s of Chinese after market boards, which I believe was another one of his focal points for revenue, the Chinese were giving nothing away to enable any progress. No ASIC or software details. Obviously if the Chinese were actually approached, they had no interest in what Gardin had to offer.
