EskimoBob,
Does the "cost" column represent the expense to ActiveMining? Are those pulled from a document somewhere? Or is this based on an arbitrary 66.67% markup?
The cost to the company per GH/s appears really terrible, frankly.
No, this is pure fiction.
I made a guess and used really fat cross margin to make the calculation to get some kind of an idea how many units must be sold to generate 4 667 689 USD in profits from hardware sales.
I have no idea what those chips are going to cost and how much is actually spent as of now.
I also have no idea how much is the cost of assembly, testing, transport etc etc are for any of those units. Only number I have seen is the price those products are sold. So I made an estimate on little we have.
Is 66.7% a good markup in this industry, if you pay for full R&D etc, basically form drawing board to a final delivery.
Maybe it's 80 or 30% or 200%
Do any of you know?
From what little financial documents I have seen from ASICMiner, it costs them $1.50 per GH/s. So selling a 10 GH/s blade at 4 BTC is a $15 cost on ~$460, or a 3000%+ markup.
Lets remove the BTC from this for now. It's to volatile and the unit price in BTC is calculated form fiat anyways.
$1.50 per GH/s sounds nice indeed. How many chips must be produce to make this number reality?
Not sure but was it about 800 000 USD Actm needed to complete the development of eACIC chip and board and what not?
Total Gh form those sales (my fictional table) is 542848, if Gh cost 1.50, total cost of those units is 814 272
So the will get away with selling only about 1800 units 200+200 most expensive, 300+300 and 400+400 the entry level stuff.
carpetbagger, 100% profit (revenue - total cost) means buy for 3 and sell for 6 or 50% cross margin.
Gross Margin = Gross Profit/Revenue
Gross Margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold)/Revenue
Stuartuk, zumzero aetc, if I have made a mistake in my calculations, please correct me. Just yelling and foaming like a angry retarded midget, will not help me nor you to understand, how this stuff is priced and is Actm currently overpriced or not.
I have never stated, that this is some kind of truth. Those are just numbers compiled from this little information I have.
BTW, I do not understand, why you 2 hate Actm so much that you have to embarrass the Co and yourself at every fkn opportunity you get.
Even Icebraker and likes are not that demented.
If I recall, Avalon order was fucked up so you can stop jerking off to mining revenue. 460 something Gh is nothing now days and soon will be more irrelevant.
PS! I do not understand why you 2 idiots are getting so worked up about. Can you take my fictional table and replace the numbers with fiction you like better? Can you do that? If not, stfu! Simple as that.
