Agree. But let's first explore all possibilities and give a chance for the sleepiest of minds to have an opinion on what is the best course of action. As for the reason of the need for chich$ing, I sincerely don't agree with small starting companies (Block Cypher) taking large lumps of money from the poor to rapidly cover the costs of their hardware. Should this not be discussed as a business opportunity with these guys instead of us coming as needing a 13,000 $ service? Will not both of the parties be gaining from this deal? This type of service can be worth 5 $/ month, in a year- with them coming and looking for you as a customer.
This ammount of money spending should first be discussed in a bit more detail.

@killa
Can you provide a link on these guys' website?
