right, if you were to order 10,000 ASIC units from a company, it would make a huge difference to the end-customer if these were "live-tested" for 6-8 weeks or if they were just running on testnet and directly shipped.
You must be mentally challenged if you think BTC mined for 6 -8 wouldn't affect the bottom line of any customer who ordered ASIC mining equipment. Especially if it was a large number like 10,000.
