RNS 20 September 2023: 2 years ago Gardin said this
" the Company has been faced with a very challenging software engineering project. Nonetheless, through the partial redesign of Method B, the Company can start porting on the equipment made by the largest mining rig manufacturer in that region. The Company’s R&D Machine Learning team has been able to quickly modify Method B while retaining the entirety of its performance enhancements, as confirmed through internal testing undertaken by the R&D team. QBT expects that this encouraging result will (once the porting of Method B on the mining rig firmware has been completed), allow the Company to pursue commercial arrangements for the deployment of QBT’s methods in the mining hardware market segment.
But we have since found out that the 7 professors could not reengineer CGMiner to allow access to the ASICs. If they didn't understand how CGMiner communicated and controlled the ASIC how on earth could they modify Method B and retain in entirety its performance ? We know Gardin attempted to get a driver from -CK but was told to go away. So he switched to ESP where the mysteries of the ASICs had been resolved, again not by his 'team' of professors, if they exist!
I get the impression Gardin was naive and thought he could achieve results with a very small team of inexperienced people working on the cheap. Essentially he is a businessman and although his early career was in AI his knowledge of computing, software and the Bitcoin industry was outdated and not up to the job. This showed up in his statements regarding production of a leading edge ASIC - he was clueless initially. Worse than clueless since he didn't appear to seek advice from his world class team of 'experts'
I suspect Gardin writes these RNS himself and didn't get them fact checked by his ASIC expert?
