I agree with Dave, as I said several times.

Kat, if you expect help from people in the group you could be a bit 
more conscientious about providing correct information and answering 
questions yourself. You started this off asking for recommendations 
of semiconductor manufacturers and have never told us whether you can 
actually afford to have a custom chip made. Everyone (except the we-
shouldn't-be-talking-about-this guy) is doing their best to help you. 
If you don't want the help, tell us; but don't mislead us.

Getting paid makes the work worthwhile, but doesn't mean it isn't a 
hoax. I think the other Dave said your work would lend credibility to 
the project in the eyes of investors. What the principals pay you 
will be a drop in the bucket compared to what they skim off for 
themselves before this thing fails.

If you do want help, and are prepared to give the information people 
need to help you, why not start another group? You can make it 
private so only people you invite can join and posts are hidden from 
non-members.

Graham.
