Something you missed... Providing we are playing on a level field...

The primary reason is cost. The fermentation process uses microorganisms to manufacture recombinant proteins, and driving the cost of this protein below $100 per kilogram was regarded as impossible—we have dubbed this idea as the "$100 Barrier."




Please note that they said the cost of the proteins below 100 a kilo.
Then remember that the protein is the cheap part. It is spinning it into a fiber that costs money.
They did NOT say they can produce a fiber at $100 a kilo.

Followed by:

Since we began researching the fermentation process in 2008, productivity has increased by 4,500 times, and the manufacturing cost is now a mere 1/53,000 of what it once was.


Which as we are all very aware means nothing without the starting point. After all doubling and doubling again means nothing so a 4500time increase in nothing is nothing

And then...

Bolt expects its spinning process to yield spider silk yarn at a price of less than $100 per kg


Yup and Kim expected to have a deal signed by now.

So I think before Kim needs to address anything said from them they need to say something first. Or I should say they need to give us more than they are ramping up production for 6 years and that they have doubled their doubled doubling.

Just keeping it a fair game

One thing different between Spiber and BT.... Spiber actually has a fiber. It may not be much and it may not be very good but they have one.
BT has produced nothing but hype and rumors.
