Either that or Hashfast didn't ship, Cointerra haven't shipped so the need to keep up right this minute with adding more hashing power didn't materialise - so no requirement
to sell more Jupiters.
to sell more Jupiters.
I agree. We were expecting a major jump in network hashrate that didn't happen but this steady up slope of hashrate and dwindling of returns continues - apparently just not enough in their eyes to justify production and shipment of new Jupiters.
I think the deciding factor is ..... "Is there time"?
They may be further along with Neptune than anyone thought.
It only takes two weeks to assemble & ship a Jupiter run... plus time for some parts... we already know that....
If you look way back to the NPS, (not that it still applies) you will see they originally planned on delivering Neptune in March.
Given they allowed some time cushion in estimating delivery... I expect they might have gained on that estimate.
If they started a Jupiter run right now, they would be already dangerously close to hindering Neptune delivery,
which is most likely the decision they are making... and nothing to do with the NPS.
