gwillen:
mircea_popescu: as far as I know they are not dividing anything into batches, they are just taking preorders continuously
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: ok, show us your math that says they already spent all the money, then

gwillen:
mircea_popescu: unless you have inside knowledge about BFL's costs that you should share with the rest of us
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: I don't know what you're calculating from
OneMiner:
mircea_popescu People sent them (and are still sending them) bajillions of bitcoins. If they kept any that's where the money comes from.

mircea_popescu: errr, with the fucktons and fucktons of preorder money?

mircea_popescu: this just means they will fulfill fewer than we thought

mircea_popescu: they are still making more
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: they do not currently have anywhere near the number of chips required to fulfill all preorders
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: they will be forced to manufacture more units than they thought
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: they didn't like, manufacture 1000 and then stop
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: they are manufacturing them
gwillen:
mircea_popescu: I don't understand your question
