BitSyncom, I recall reading where you paid $400 to get Jeff's unit to him.

Can I pay for the same service?  I have $400 in BTC ready to send.

They are shipping 12 a day since Jan 22.. thats roughly 264 sent already.. im sure you will have it in your hands soon.
The never said they were shipping 12 a day in perpetuity. BitSyncom posted a few days after shipping started that they'd been doing 12 a day, so about 40 total. Extrapolating that out, especially through CNY, likely isn't going to be accuate.

If 40 (more than 2) were shipped, why are we not hearing about them?
Because they sent them in a container ship?
Because customs is delaying them?
Because CNY?
Because they lied and have only produced two units?
Because they lied and the ASICs are really powerhogging frontends to a FPGA farm somewhere?
Because Bitcoin?

I have no idea. I'm just saying, taking the numbers that were given for the first 3 days of production and extrapolating it over a 3 week period that coincides with a major multi week festival isn't likely to be terribly accurate.
