Even though Microbt’s future shipping dates say June 1 through the 30th, mining operations have complained about mining rig shipping delays due to the coronavirus. Just recently the mining operations Riot Blockchain and Hut8 have been upset about lengthy shipping delays hurting their business model. The coronavirus has made it so mining rigs from the top Chinese ASIC manufacturers like Microbt, Bitmain, and Canaan are considerably delayed and arrival times are uncertain.
