is there a way AM could set up a simple data feed, like a json feed or something that gives live hashrate? That would solve a lot of this guessing.
Sure.
Will they? No. I wouldn't if I were them. It is definitely a competitive advantage to keep that information proprietary.
For all we know they could be cycling through new hardware at this very moment. If they're cycling through 40 th/s groups of hardware for testing purposes and they left three groups on at once.. Competitors would know "they have at LEAST 120 th/s of hashing power available at any moment."
Whereas if they do not do that, and we infer that there was 100+ th/s over the previous hour, that can be attributed to variance.
They announce their production and equipment levels openly, as it is.
The other thing is... what competition
There's quite a few competitors but their just starting to seriously move out and develop some decent stuff well the serious contenders not BFL but maybe their also moving

Anyways going with cycling myself
Or maybe that hot girl in the data center theory
I trust in Friendcat
