its a somewhat selectively accurate chart that has downgraded some companies more than others for making identical mistakes. for instance, AsicMiner's latest chip ended up much worse than double its power consumption from the announced spec to the delivery, yet that hasnt been recognised.
No. AM missed estimated specs. AM doesn't sell preorders and doesn't guarantee estimated specs. Investors simply asked FC to gaze in to his magic crystal ball and he happened to be wrong just like every single manufacturer to date. Nobody was ripped off or scammed. Only a bunch of disappointed investors.
I also object that AsicMiner in the past has sold off old stock and perhaps even used systems that were under performers and over power consumers, and yet theyve been classed as shipping on time, when in reality they were simply upgrading their own private mine, and selling off the old boards in new boxes.. and yet that was interpreted as 'can do no wrong' by the asicminer fanboys.
So you just made up a hypothetical situation and expect AM to get penalized for it?
Please show me a single person complaining about late shipping or used hardware.
