BitSyncom, I see you have problems with finances. Something went wrong. You asked yourself many times - why you should sell asics? Hehe

You _can't_ place an order right now— they aren't accepting any.

sucker tax Smiley
You mean the negative tax that early adopters with risky pre-orders had?
No I mean the positive one that the greedy ones rushing to avalon will need to pay to get their units. (1299->1499)
If I recall correctly 1499 is lower than their original non-discounted advertised prices.

Is their any reason why the base price has gone up by $200 Unit Price: $1,499 from Unit Price: $1,299 on 2nd batch
they entered to compete with BFL improving their hashrate at the same price, but from the beginning they said that this price would only be with the first 300 units

Perhaps the price should depend on the difficulty. Tongue

price = 1200 + 800*3249549.58448721/diff

BitSyncom,
since you have already shipped a device, the ISO I presume must already exist and thus the source code must already exist.
Any reason the link on the web site to get that goes nowhere?

Well, ~1500 dollars falls somewhere in between, so at least for now it's decent pricing. Let's see how everything pans out now, with the new subdomain. Awaiting new info. Also we need to see if the competitors catch up with them in the next 1-2 months.

Anyway, they mention on the site that they plan on delivering at least 300 units weekly once production ramps up. That's 20 TH added to the network per week starting march, and that's only Avalon. Things are bound to get interesting fast.

I remember them saying subsequent units will be 1599$, not 1999... But I may remember wrong. Afterwards, they priced everything @ 1299$. But again, I might have got it wrong. Either way, like Sounds said above, until there's competition they can set the price. Now, a dismantling of my Icarus cluster seems to be on the horizon... Hopefully they keep the 399$ trade-in rebate.
