The answer is......
I still don't understand why people are paying for overpriced miners to fund bitfury's private farm (currently at 200TH). Remember people: for every miner sold, bitfury adds a couple more to his farm so think twice before ordering. Stupid stupid people.
Because it's an ASIC miner that ships today.
And do you honestly think that Bitfury doesn't currently have enough funds to support it's own private farm without the few pennies that we add to their coffers? Lol. Who's stupid now?
I hope you're not responding to me. I just received a 1/2 rig, 1/4 rig and 3 V1 H boards last week. I happen to think Bitfury and BitMain gear are very reasonably priced at the moment.
An even lower price would be better but I'm not waiting around for that to happen. I think those who are always complaining about over-priced gear will never be happy enough to make a purchase. That's why the ASIC vendors just ignore their pleas. Why try to satisfy a potential customer who will never actually buy your product, right?
+1. when the price drop happened, it was enough for me to justify a small purchase. however, they need to come down another 20% before I go out and buy full rigs.
alternatively, they fix the rPi SD-corrupting issues and ill buy its a massive pissoff that i am scared to reboot the unit or otherwise touch it at all when in operation, even if i think a few more GH/s could be had
