I think the key difference versus your car analogy above is that people bought the product on a price/GH basis... A more accurate analogy would therefore be if someone running a fleet of buses was sold a 80 seater bus with a promised fuel economy but the bus delivered in the end only seats 60 and is a lot less fuel efficient. So the changes in spec are clearly going to affect the bus operator's profitability and it isnt what he paid for.
Good one. Here's another.
CT was hired to build a Formula One race car that is promised to reach over 200 mph. Instead, they deliver a car that can only reach 160 mph. Sure, it's a fast car compared to a Yugo, but the lost profits from not being able to win races is staggering.
a week or so ago it was hashing for the first time at 1.5 th. now a customer has one that hashes at 1.7 th. I'm hoping by the time they ship a few more (and i got mine) that they've tweaked it a little further...
