I'm at a BTC meetup in Sunnyvale, where the Hashfast VP of Engineering is giving a talk right now.
This is admittedly rather time-sensitive, but if anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to ask 'em!
Ask if they're still on schedule for shipping next week.
Not surprisingly, this was indeed one of the questions that came up last night.
And, as of a few days ago, ... ... it looks like we're probably going to slip, by about a week.
Ironically, not because of the silicon, even though that is the part of the system that takes the longest to manufacture. That's going through the foundry smoothly. But we ran into a delay sourcing one of our other components.
We've now found an alternative source. But that delay means it'll be challenging for us to ship finished systems before the end of October.
It's disappointing, but unfortunately these things happen. I'm glad we've made it this far through the process, and are still so close to our target date.
(I'm watching every day to see how close Cointerra will come to their targeted tapeout date.)
