Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Manufacturer Trustworthiness Guide [27th Feb]
Within the ethics category, all companies start at 10/10 and receive penalties removing points, hence they've lost 2 points for having a farm. It appears you're suggesting that they've been given points for having a farm? Not sure why you want to know the size of their farm or why its relevant, but antpool.com. A large chunk of that is self mine / contracted mining.
Which penalty do you think should be applied / not be applied? What evidence can you provide to substantiate a rating change?

Ethics?
All companies start with 10 points, and lose points for various infractions. The key is as follows:
F = Operates own mining farm = -2
FF = Operates own large mining farm = -4
P = Evidence of premining on preordered equipment = -2
...
O = Other generic unethical behaviour = -5

It seems that 55PH/s antpool doesn't qualify for the FF = operates own large mining farm.
The tons of dust on some batches of miners doesn't qualify for P = evidence of premining on preordered equipment
Also the unethical behaviour of which you can't speak due to your NDA can't qualify for a O = other generic unethical behaviour.
So that's a total of 9 points which you do not apply towards your boss.
5) My NDA with Bitmain allows for disclosures of confidential information, non maliciously. That means I am free to do 99.9% of what the community requires. The NDA is primarily there to stop the selling of trade secrets / information not known to the market.
Well revealing some unethical behaviour would be considered maliciously so you simply can't do it because of your boss restrains. Knew that already.
I think you need to reread what you wrote. You're saying that I purposely delayed a reduction in "a direct competitor of Bitmain". 
That's exactly what I am saying. Because in December Bitmain needed more help with the ratings/sales than in September. It's not rocket science.
