So I spoke with Cointerra today and apparently I really am one of the few idiots who didn't switch batches since apparently the December batch is now very small compared to the January batch. Guess I should have switched batches along with everyone else since the early January orders will be shipping immediately after the December batch is done. Doh.
did they say anything about expected shipping december batch?
Here is, in chronological order, everything I could find Cointerra saying about their "expected" "December" batch:
TerraMiner IV will ship in December this year
Systems expected to begin shipping to customers, Mid December.
We are indeed on track for our delivery times.
We are still very much on track for our presented delivery time.
we are indeed still on time table for our production.
The fabout of the first wafers is scheduled to occur on December 17th
Please not the last quote isn't from the main Cointerra account, which hasn't posted in weeks (despite the big news of no December shipping really needing an official announcement/explanation/OP update).
Thank you for this summary. As a Cointerra advocate (but not a customer), they are dropping into "does not meet expectations" territory fast. It seems unfair that you have to come to the forums to find out that anyone rational should switch their December order to January. With a fabout of December 17th, they will be hard pressed to deliver by the 31st (which would already be a very loose interpretation of their promises).
I guess a few weeks delay should have been expected. For PR purposes, they should definitely "overdeliver" in some aspect (perhaps hashrate) to make up for this.
