bASIC sprang forth from BTCFPGA which had a range of highly successful FPGA Bitcoin miners (ModMiner), and had hoped to release an ASIC design, taking pre-orders for funding.
On September 3rd, 2012, bASIC was announced as BitcoinASIC / BTCFPGA's 'fourth generation Bitcoin mining device'.[1].
On January 9th, 2013, the bASIC project was canceled[2] and claimed to have been sold to an Asian investor, however, this claim was later retracted.
On January 13th, 2013, the principal of the project noted "At this point, if you are thinking of sending me a refund request, I recommend you do a chargeback instead."[3]
On February 1st, 2013, a message was posted to the bASIC website stating that a "a devision of a huge corporate electronics manufacturer in Canada" had taken over the reins.[4], later revealed to be CAN-ELECTRIC[5]. However, a purported exchange between a BitcoinTalk Forum member and Can Electric resulted in a statement suggesting that they were not involved in this endeavor.[6]
