According to yesterday's news release, 10-11-2013, they said that they have produced 700 units. So, starting from October 1st to 11th, that is 10 days. 700/10 = 70 a day at minimum.
Then we have to consider how many total units of any kind did they sell?
It must be around 4k maybe? what do you think?
It's a mega hardworking bunch of guys working as close to 24/7 as their bodies physically allow and unforeseeable issues will occur, the best resolution is to adapt fast and remain calm. Sam is still confident to hit 15th Oct. Chinese whispers and ballpark assumptions of 3,000+ orders are nowhere close, so that just generates FUD. There's actually approx a 1,000 units left. There has been over local 100 pick-ups (well 100 units picked-up), over 400 physically shipped, and a chunk dedicated to hosting.
According to Bitcoinorama there were only 1k left on the 9th, and on the news letter they also said "This has been a very steep learning curve and we have adjusted the manufacturing process to be able to produce more boxes per day to try and catch up with the backlog." so hopefully they made some major adjustments in the manufacturing process, We will only see.
1,000 on the 9th, so 6 days from the 9th is their deadline. So, 1,000/6= ~166. They need to make at least 166 unit a day starting frmo the 9th and they were or are making, on average, only 70 a day. WTF.
More so, lets figure this out more, they had 1000 units to make on the 9th. They made 700 units by the 11th. Lets say that their original total units sold then was 1500 because that is a nice round number. That means they made 200 units in two or so days time or 100 units per day. (700 - (1500 - 1000) = 200)
That means this, they were making 70 units a day, on average, and now they are on their full operating power of 100 a day.
700 on the 11th leaves 800 left. That means 8 days from the 11th. That means they will make their deadline on the 19th unless they make 200 a day since the 11th or 2x their full capacity to make their 15th deadline.
so, they will finish their deadline by the 19th, but could they make it to the 15th or 16th or 17th?
I think i figured out their queue and shipping schedule down to the map and they didn't tell me anything.
You will get your miner shipped by the 19th for sure
but can you get it shipped by the 15th? lets see them up their production 2x
I THINK THIS IS THE FIGURES. IT MAKES SENSE, they sold 1500 units, their full production power is 100 a day.
they need to up their production at least 2x to 200 a day since the 11th, as time goes by they need to hire more workers by the 15th. Anyways, you will get your miner shipped by the 19th for sure.
Now, if they left room in the queue for 100 or 50 unit in case of contingency, then they sold 1400 units. Then they will have all their units shipped by the 18th, which is a friday.
Now what is going to happen to those people who got their units shipped after the 15th?
I think we should be given a 10% discount code or something. We can start the petition here and now.
I personally should be given a Mercury because, regardless what the other guy said, I am actually THE last one in the queue and wont get my unit until the 19th. 4 days means 500 dollar a day loss because I ordered countless jupiters.
I AM REALLY GLAD THE REMAINING QUEUE WAS ONLY 1000 instead of 3000 though. Thanks
They hadn't got to the Mercuries when he said that, so how many of that 1k are only one module? If they REALLY have 30 assembly stations (trolleys with a wood jig bolted on lol) they can easily do it ...depending on staff and working weekends.
I can't see it happening, I haven't believed much they have said for a while now. As for Bitcoinorama, I don't blame him for lying low, he can't do much about it and only takes flak for stuff he has no hand in. His posts were personal before, useful observations, not they have to toe th company line..big difference.
KnC have been appauling as far as communication is concerned unless they had something to crow about. Silence in general and "Wait and see" in reply to questions from customers from support.
The deal was rigs by 15th. Written large. I don't care if they were swimming in sweat all week and haven't changed their underpants or any of that sad rubbish...that's a result of their own bragging about what they can do and their inability to plan and carry it out. It doesn't impress me one bit that they made themselves a mountain to climb. If they kept us in the picture, which would cost a couple of minutes to do...things would be different.
One smallish courier van in the photos collecting units every day...that speaks volumes. I was expecting larger capacity trucks more often. That schedule alone means rigs sitting around for a day waiting for collection. You don't send a van if you're expecting 100s of large boxes...they won't fit.
