Hahaha  - what is the matter with you?  

Sure, the machines sold before the deadline are also in competition.  But they got there fair and square by meeting the rules.  So I am happy to compete with them.  What I don't want, is more competition from guys who squeezed in after the real deadline.  This deal is WAY too good and I don't want my competitors enjoying awesome hashing power, high efficiency, low prices.  I want this deal closed.  It was FAR too good of a deal and now I want it stopped.  I want everyone else to go buy antminers.
