As u say the trade in program has not been announced. What if it is a case of send back your singles, and you are now in the queue, along with anyone one else who has purchased. This means that you are back in the position of Wang x months for the new hardware without any old / current hardware mining.
This is where having an asset issuer with deep pockets is helpful. I will be buying ASICs for myself as well and would be willing to point my personal ASICs at the company GPUMAX account until the shareholder equipment arrives in this scenario.
So from that, as a possible investor (I've thought about buying in as I just want the weekly returns on 1mh/s. If I buy in and have a share, and you upgrade equipment, am i on 1mh/s or 20mh/s on the upgrade date or delivery date? I'm assuming 1mh/s.
But for x months you are willing to pay out of your pocket? For any normal person this can only happen for a few months,what happens if bfl never deliver,or deliver below the 20mh/s?
Would it not be best to start a new bond for the hardware?
