If another than the one I have my money tight to, starts delivering new orders faster than the one my money is tight to, I'll cancel that order, and go for that other one. What a simple plan B, is it not?
I keep thinking that if bASIC delivers in late November or Early December and BFL does not until late December....does it make sense to go to the end of the line @ bASIC?
Sure different people will come up with different ideas as to what is the right answer. I don't see it quite in black and white after thinking on it for a while. The large assumption is that bASIC could get a second batch out fast to make later orders worth while.
That is an unknown at this point. So I can't figure out any easy answers as to what one should do if they are tied to the slowest/slower company.
It is a bit of a pickle when you really think about it.
---------------------------------
Part of me smirks a bit at the idea that BFL does delay into late December/January. It would mean they delayed 2/3 of the ASIC miners from mining. Which is absolutely fantastic if you choose the right vendor to ship first.
Though, if you are stuck in the largest vendor what do you do exactly? It all depends on how fast a second batch occurs at the fastest vendor. Frankly, I don't know of any of their turn around times. Could be weeks for the second batch. Or it could be the fastest vendor over purchased just enough to cover a second batch.
Even my crystal ball has lots of static when trying to figure out this puzzle of "what ifs"...
I don't see any easy or clear answers. People want their rigs, not really their money. So a refund secures their funds, not necessarily their rigs.
