dosn´t matter,
they have mined already 330BTC with own pool.
so if it costs them .5 million usd to design new chip and new pcb.
then they built 10,000 of them to get that 4.6ph pool. the 10000 built = 125 usd each or 1.25 mill
that means they are on the hook for 1.75 mill for the first 10,000 units . I would think I am under with that not over.
say they earned 330 btc = 200,000 usd. Spent some power
That means 1.55 mill for 10,000 units or the absolute lowest is 155 usd say 45 to ship =
200 usd and they break even
my guess is more like 300 usd to break even.
So sell at 600 usd (not 1 btc) = 100% profit and they crush Am's Rk-box .
Is Any thing above 600 usd pure greed on their part ? no and why is that ?
They will price higher to see how many of us feel Froggy enough to jump at it.
Ie market testing at no cost (since if we don't buy they mine at a profit).
This is a very interesting time for BTC……..
Here is a number game you can do with a calculator.
pretend there are 126ph hashing that would be 1000 1th machines for each ph or 126,000 1th machines
convert to these .5th machine and you get 252,000 with no other hashing gear.
if they were 1 btc each the price for the gear hashing would be 252,000 x 600 = 151,200,000 usd
they would burn 252,000 x 390 watts or 98,280,000 or 98,280 k watts
we all know that the gear on the market is not all these alone and is far more costly then the 151 mill above.
we also know the gear right now is worse then .78 watts much more like 1.5 watts on average
so 2x the power = 200,000 kwatts
