I think a lot of those order numbers are generated just by people clicking throught the purchase process to see the price or whatever at the end, but then don't complete the final step to place the order.

Sounds like a ton of btc/usd has been going into mining hardware.

Wouldn't be surprised if a ton of USD goes straight into buying BTC.

Are the bit-pay order numbers merchant specific or are they a count of ALL purchases processed through bit-pay?

That is an interesting little business model they have there.  Pay in cash x% premium, wait for BTC to appreciate some on the USD then buy a place in line. Double profit!!!! :o

Receiving 70 orders per day, how many of them these two guys can assemble?

That's just the minirig line from what I understand. They also have a few people working on singles and will have separate lines working on the different ASIC models as well.

By investing in this production now, when will I receive the finished product? They need to open a factory to make it happen this year.

And with that many orders they WILL NOT be able to ever fullfill peoples' orders.

They simply don't have the money to open a factory assembly either.  The amount of capital and revenue they are receiving is way too low and will not last long term.

Could they be hiring? http://kansascity.craigslist.org/mnu/3202682816.html  There's nothing on their website saying they're looking for people to work in assembly, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was them.

If I search the craigslist posting Id in google image search, I get this.

Coincidence? I think not. Have we found the first verified picture of a ASIC SC? I think so!
