The hardware in pool ARE in hands of customers.

Chips were split after production and each party decided to do own assembly - that's why different parts of chips had different success ratios. Unfortunately problems happened with 100TH mine assembly. But - more chips will be a bit later and it would be quickly restored! You should understand that it is really hard to produce equipment, and that causes delays, unpredictable.

Also after all of that experience - likely we won't do any preorders and work only with stuff we have in stock. Working with expectations, _especially_ where days count and production can go wrong any time is bad experience.

Bitfury, could you provide an API for the pool data? I'd like to be able to include your pool in the weekly pools stats.

I don't understand, what % of that is bitfury, the individual, - who if he wants to at ALL, is the person and soon to be a billionaire's chips?

Nobody can ever match the owner of the ASIC for $/gh

all chips you buy are marked up several orders of magnitude in $/chip

indeed

that's why i havent bought any asics

the only exceptions would be rd 1 and (i think?) rd 2 of avalon.  rd 1 was cheap because it was insanely speculative
