What disgusts me the most is that one of their employees mentioned in the forum on Dec 31st that they might be shipping by the end of the week! So basically they were that close, and then a 2 week delay magically sets them back? That's bullshit. They're mining with our equipment and I can prove it. Give us our machines.

I don't know what your expertise is in, but it certainly isn't in ASIC design and I'm guessing it isn't in any branch of engineering. Delays occur at all phases of a project.

Everyone with a preorder entered into a contract. The terms of the contract dictate what is late and the penalty for being late. If you cared so much about it being a few weeks late X number of months ago, you should have insisted on a better contract or not taken the deal. But you didn't, you accepted the offered terms. And somehow I doubt your estimates for future bitcoin value and future network difficulty that you made at the time of purchase have hit the nail on the head. There is a range to all future predictions and anyone with bitcoin experience should know this range is pretty wide - whether it is miner development time, or difficulty, or USD conversion rate. I would say the development time is still in a range that is pretty reasonable. If it hits Feb without shipping, that starts to stretch the reasonableness.

Looks like we have an ASIC/contract expert here guys. Unless cointerra plans on making up for the extra .4TH PER ASIC then they are also breaking contract. When did two months late on a product whose sole value relies on the time released become reasonable?
