According to Genesis Mining's CEO:
“Time is critical, very critical...For example, we are renting entire airplanes, Boeing 747s, to ship on time. Anything else, like shipping by sea, loses so much opportunity.”
According to many reports, this practice is becoming the norm for some cryptocurrency mining companies, and High Profil Crypto-Miners. To ship GPUs as fast as possible, several reports indicate that in order to get sufficient processing power while the hash rate is still reasonable, they use entire Boeing 747s to ship directly from AMD and Nvidia's factories, this is mainly due to the sudden explosion in Ethereum mining using GPUs, and the shortage in the retail market of highend GPUs.
The Highest priority now is securing critical amount of GPUs and shipping them as fast as possible while the data center are getting built and ready to receive the critical components, any delays in the shipment of the graphics cards represents sometimes hundreds of thousands if not millions in lost revenue, pushing more miners to resort to extreme measures to get there GPUs are fast as possible.
Next time, Maybe they will be the first to fund the Hyperloop to deliver their components in no time.
