Are you saying that at this very moment he has no information on miners, no information from eAsic, and no information on the expected hashrate when we get up and running?
No, I'm sure there is a huge amount of info known last month, 2months ago and obviously the very latest such as chip/prototype performance which will have been coming in over the past 2 weeks.
But Ken has for whatever reason has decided to release it not in drips but in this major news release. (Well I certainly hope it is a large news release and hope it answers a lot of questions.) There may be a number of reasons for the info being withheld, we know about the NDA. I suspect there is a large degree of confidentiality involved in terms of not wanting to release sensitive info to our competitors. I know our competitors release lots of info that we haven't yet - but I think Ken is old-skool and likes to keep his hand close to his chest. He might have been advised to do so incase anything breeched the NDA. Anyway that's all speculation, we should know soon.
I'm not trying to be Ken's excuse man here, he doesn't seem willing or able to explain exactly why we've had the news blackout but he's a grown adult so hopefully he can explain that himself soon. But now that we know news is immanent I don't see much point in more speculation about the reasons for the lack of news.
But I would say it's possible there is no bad news in this upcoming news. It could all have gone swimmingly and to plan? Wishful thinking maybe.
