Thanks for the update, Dave. Do you have any estimates on when we'll hit 100 and 200TH? I know you guys are working hard, but it's almost October and times a tickin'. I don't think investors would be as anxious if this was a reinvesting mine, but since it's a fixed rate mine, profits are fading fast and timing is of the essence....(we're up for another big difficulty jump in a few hours)
We are optimizing rigs now, which is slow, but gives the potential for at least 10 - 15TH across the mine. Meanwhile 35TH in hardware is on the way - this should put us solidly above 100TH. Getting to 200TH will draw on the gear in production. We had a 1 week-ish delay due to Chinese New Year, but I expect by the time we are done getting the 35TH up & running, we'll start to see more gear showing up.
Don't forget I only ever built out for 100TH, which I overbuilt to handle about 125TH. I'm scrambling to support an additional 75TH, but at this point I don't see any problems getting there.
