Could DataTank host other miners as well, in theory? As long as we're speculating, Hashfast would be both possible and unexpected. They're sitting on a lot of inventory and next to zero capital, so a deal like this would seem right up their alley. Not sure how the bankruptcy proceedings might affect/obstruct that sort of thing, though.
Due to our past experience with ASICMiner, we are committed to using ASICMiner hardware for our own capacity, until we see a reason not to. DataTank systems are compatible with any hardware, including with chips from Spondoolies Tech, InnoSilicon, Hashra, HashFast, GridSeed, Cointerra, Butterfly Labs, Bitfury, Alcheminer, Avalon, ASICminer and more. Bitcoin,
A reason: Better offer? Chips in exchange for Immersion Tanks, which seems to be what Data Tank wants. Does FC want these Immersion Tanks, don't they already have a relationship with DT/AC with some other prior arrangement. I think this deal with DT and AM might have been worked out way before now if it was actually between AM and DT. Not now (Notice, that Spondoolies just went over to the conference.) They probably spoke a little with DT and made a better deal.
