The important thing to me is it appears they are making progress.
This is all just gravy now. I think they have purchased some time to avoid the scam patrol berating them until they get more hash power online which is hopefully just a rinse and repeat process for all the chips and PCBs they have.
I don't see any progress yet. Imho their biggest flaw is the lack of verifiable information, not to mention the lies they told. Maybe they are hashing, maybe not, but steps towards transparency and reliability have not yet been made
