If anyone thought they would ship before their deadline, they clearly are new around here. Name me one Asic provider that beat their end deadline.
Bitfury, delivered 1 day earlier, promised August 31st, delivered August 30th in quantity.
Some noobz have never heard of Rumsfeld's 'Unknown unknowns' much less Hofstadter's Law.
But they are lying when they claim to be incapable of understanding the difference between the most optimistic, earliest possible shipping date and the guaranteed delivery date. It's funny when they waste their Bitcoins to have a lawyer tell them their feigned obtuseness will be laughed out of court.
Bitfury is a brilliant designer and his chips weren't late, but they did ship at 50% of the spec'd clock rate, forcing him to ship twice as many.
Us 100TH investors have been royally screwed by the resulting delays in our mine build-out.
So let's not put Bitfury on too high a pedestal.
, but what can we do? Sitting, waiting and hope.
