This is really not unusual. Their sales have been through the roof. I'm certain they just need to build another batch.

Imagine all of the third-party components that go into an S1. Quite a supply chain is involved, not to mention the actual assembly time.

They have it down to an art, but it still takes time.

From  '' a good source '' i know they dont need to build... they just let the current ones run for like 1 or 2 weeks before they ship some free btc Always nice to have... Same goes on with BA, butterfly and all the '' suppliers ''there are at the moment.

Ofcourse they rebuild the stock after some time... but i'm 1000% sure they got a few hundreds of miners running at the moment!

Im just worried about the difficulty that will be twice as high by then.  And other companies coming online soon.  I'd really like to see a new product by then.

And there is no other competition in the market now..

What's going on is the XBT you sent them isn't enough when converted to fiat.

Maybe mining is more profitable than selling the equipment,  especially when customers expect you to discount every two weeks.

Well since it hardly cost a thing to build these things... all customers need to get a chance earning the investment back they made.

Maybe the date will be changed let's facking hope ^^

It's not a delay, its a schedule. They went back on sale with that shipment date. Delay implies date was changed.

After waiting 2 weeks because of CNY We didnt expect them to open on the 15th and close the same day

Their shop was wide open for like 5 days after the 8th when they came back from CNY. Lots of people bought during the BTC crash.

Its good to see they limit orders to 3 units.
