WTF...the price is less than half the December batch? You guys had better ship all those December orders on December 1st or there are going to be some seriously pissed off people.
What makes you think the January batch will ship on 1 Jan?
Dec = Dec 31st.
Jan = Jan 31st.
That's even worse since by Dec 31st it'll be that much harder for the December batch to make up the $8000 difference.
I wonder if they're going to let people switch between the machines
What makes you think they care about their customers returning investment on their product? They have no ROI insurance, just shipping time insurance. I guess they failed to mention the part where they flood the market with hardware the next month, screw over the first batch buyers, and then offer to sell them a new cheap system so they can keep up with the hashing power. Yay for another greedy asic vendor!
