The orders made now are shipping in a few months. That doesn't mean shipping will not start for three months it means there is a backlog of orders built up. It means our sales have outstripped our production capacity (for retail machines) which equates to a great sales success.

Also we only needed one or two machines to take 1% of hash three months ago so the subsequent difficulty increase is not as big a deal as you make out.

First, the orders made now are not shipping for over three months.
Second, the [nonexistent] 24TH machine is a single machine in name only. It's racks stuffed with cases stuffed with what, thus far, is badly photoshopped graphics cards. Making that much gear with three Harbor Freight workbenches, a Leatherman and a couple of Slaughters is kinda tough.

Third, math is math, and a 4 month delay translates to more than 700% difficulty increase. Cutting the company worth seven-fold. That's either a lot or a little, you decide.
