You mind pointing out what benefits a group buy to an effectively sold out product would be?
Raising awareness is not the same as hosting a group buy...neither is chasing bandwagon wheel ruts.
Group buys imply that one individual purchases multiple miners, acts as intermediary/escrow and ships the miners out to the interested parties. It also implies a discount...on shipping if nothing else.
I see none of those things happening here.
If such a thing is indeed going on then please point me to the host...otherwise I'll have to presume(I know right?) that you're imagining things.
The previous group buy enabled individuals to pay the vendor directly and receive the product from the vendor directly, without having to go through any middle man.
The previous group buy benefited me specifically by obtaining an approx 10% discount, which effectively covered the shipping costs to my house.
Since the "new" group buy is being managed under this thread and the details have not yet been announced, I cannot say that the same benefits will be in effect.
However, since the "new" group buy is for an active/live product being currently shipped, im interested in hearing what the specific details are if/when they are announced.
Unless I hear otherwise from the individual working on the group by arrangements, I don't see any reason to doubt that something is being worked on at this time.
