I don't get why they can't "easily" disclose this. This information is critical to knowing what the mining capability of these boxes are.
Preventing breakdown, perhaps?
Let us assume that hundreds of people have hit them with refunds. And they are now operating in a risky area, where they stay liquid by new preorders and venture money, praying that people won't go crazy asking for refunds, because that would put them in a credit crunch.
The exact credit crunch they need, since they want to pay DHL and UPS.
SO if he does something stupid now, they might go bankrupt, be unable to finish the boxes and several thousand people who are happily mining enough money for a ticket to Kansas will buy one. Happy days
Yeah I think you're right. Although if they went bankrupt now they wouldn't finish the boxes, and there'd be nothing to go to KS to buy.
I suspect it's not that they can't easily disclose it, but that they don't want to. I'm just praying that there are a lot of cancellations and not 40,000 units about to be shipped. Also that it takes them a little while to ship. That they don't actually produce 400 units a day. Here's why: the slower the total hashrate rises, the better for those of us who purchased. The early adopters will get more time to recoup with their boxes. If they ship in order anyway, the hash rate will be the same when I get my box (barring what is added from other sources) whether they ship slowly or quickly. But if they ship slowly, and that speed stays slow after my box is shipped, the total hash rate won't rise as fast AFTER I get my box and I too will have more time to recoup.
Not to mention that when these DO ship there will be MORE new orders as people jump on the band wagon thinking that it's a get rich quick scheme. So I'd rather people stay skeptical for a while.
