But given the industry I’d imagine they would try to keep it low and accessible
You know I was begin to wonder as to how we arrive at 20-40$ as no information is from the Bitfence team as at the time of typing this lol... It's still pure stipulations let see upon main launch how much it's going to do for
Their whitepaper confirms it's free to download:
'BitFence software will be available to download as freeware.'

They will not be selling something they are giving away for $900, they also say that they are selling SD cards with it preloaded, this might be like $5 over what a standard one costs, but their goal is to get as many of these miners globally as possible, their money will come from selling the fingerprints as definitions to other companies, and as part of the subscriptions.
Well From the look of things they have created a business model that I believe is going to succeed. The concept behind freeware is to get something out as much as possible.
So the software will be up for free download. What about the hardware? The one built with the raspberry pi do we buy that one from the store or we can buy that personally and run the software on it?
