Could this be why BFL isn't delivering product to customers?
Gotta stockpile up a lot of chips to make enough equipment to sell mining server time as a commodity.
What is there to stockpile? Mining by the GH will take just as long to deliver as the Monarch.
PRE-ORDER ... Did everyone miss the button? You won't be getting that gh/s today.
This reminds me of when I 'Pre-Ordered' my BFL 7GH/s Jalapeno back in May, and have only just received the package this morning from America.
Almost 7 months wait time! I wouldn't trust BFL to deliver on time with any product or service from what I have experienced, and read on the official BFL forums.
I've been watching these for a couple months now, and have 'dabbled' with a few (namely PPCoin and ZetaCoin) but have made a loss compared to how much I would have made mining Bitcoin in this time.
