@Inside Bitcoins NYC, Guy's panel on now, does not sound like Spondoolies will be offering consumer products any longer...
Not sure if you recall the announcement Guy made a few weeks ago in this thread, new machines are big, not really suitable for home miners when you need 12-16Kw to run one of the new machines.. I suspect with margins shrinking the overhead of supporting small home customers simply isn't something that can be tolerated, with that said Spondoolies has not gone the way of KNC, I don't see pre-order financing, delayed shipments to self mine, and shipping of used miners as new...
You have right in the hardware part, they didn't screwed up customers.
I wanted to point to self mining and only B2B contracts....
But first we have to clarify what home mining is...
With 1-5w, 5-10kw .... etc.
Will they sell one 12kw miner if somebody willing to buy 1 or have to buy 5, 10, 30 pieces?
If they will come when their new gen stuff is ready and tell us: hey guys we have stock, you can buy it but you'll need at least 15kw to run it. <- This is not the Knc road.
Or
On the other hand: We have new gen, we start self mine at our 10Mw mining hall but we can sell you miners if you buy at least 1MW. <-Somewhere at Knc road.
I hope you got what I wanted to say...
