I agree that building hashing capacity is important (let's assume that this is why Zach missed the payment yesterday). But I disagree that its so important that it should keep the dividend from being paid out as promised. If it was the case that LRM had 500TH, but dividends were paid out every time the Pope saw Halley's Comet, how many new investors do you think LRM would get?

As you'll notice in his first post about the delay, he mentioned that it might happen today or next week. Dividends delivered a week late should never be an option in his mind. The fact that it is caused me to become alarmed. (Yes, he revised it to today in a later post.)
