The compensation is awfully inadequate unless we take the just give me the chips route and then it means trusting someone else to assemble them, extra delays, laying out extra money and so on.

But I have one idea that might work for us and for black arrow. Add free minions to the compensation package, I am sure that you can make them for cheap, we could try selling them or sending them to technobit.

I understand that any sort of engineering project can see delays and extra expenses so I don't doubt your word that you just can't give us more X3s but some chips wouldn't be such a burden as a fully assembled miner and it would make a difference for us and might somewhat save your public image.
