People keep mentioning that ActM is going to put out 3-4ph/s this month but I just cannot see that happening. The closest thing that Ken has said regarding this is:
Yes, this [EVO] is the board that we are building 5,000 in April.
As much as I want to believe that ActM will add 6-8% of the network hashrate in a single month, the above quote only references building the boards, not necessarily the completed board+chip miner. Until Ken confirms that he plans on building 5000 completed miners in April-May, I think conservatism is more appropriate.
As an added piece of speculation, the reason for adding a mere 100th/s per month to the self-mine farm is the limiting factor of chips. I do not believe ActM has thousands of chips ready to go and instead is likely buying them a couple hundred at a time which are then split into sales and the self-mine farm the revenue from which is used to buy more chips the following month. Having the boards ready made IS a good thing since the only thing that will need to be done to complete the miner is to throw the chip onto the board, but until I am corrected by Ken, I do not believe that it is a safe assumption that we will have 5000 boards AND 5000 chips this month.
First Peoples ASIC, now a potential additional datacenter, why are you not on salary?
I wish the salary would be some dividends! I have a lot of connections and I try to help out whoever I can if I see a good fit.
Your help is very much appreciated! Dividends would indeed be fantastic!
