I can't see a scenario where someone in Batch 1 wouldn't get 4 boards.
Yep. Everybody's getting 1+4 boards per BJ plus any upgrade boards paid for (which I regrettably did). This, as I was pointing out a couple weeks ago, makes the BJ hardware nothing more than a PITA. One hopes that Hashfast has enough non-MPP BJ orders to use up the BJ boxes and whatever else it entails that they already have, and to just friggin' ship, as I was pointing out a couple weeks ago, all of Batch 1 in equipped Sierra cases... either that or just provide 3 of the 4 MPP boards in the form of a complete Sierra.
Before some self-acclaimed tech guru intervenes to diss this idea saying "Oh, dude, you're so lame, you can't go out and buy a power supply and case and fans?" Yadda yadda... Think about how marginally profitable, if at all profitable, Batch 1 will be. What's better, satisfying your PC mechanic manhood by spending money on that stuff, or reasonably insisting on HF servicing the MPP in a manner that facilitates actually using the MPP boards?
