it baffles me how anyone including BFL can slap that price tag on the device and advert it with a straight face. have they not heard of Bitmain ?

The problem is, customer don't do enough research before buying an asic. Even after BFL delay their product they still have a lot of new customers..

This is the scariest, people are so dumb at investing their money and looking at getting rich quick because they JUST heard of bitcoin they will buy this then proclaim its a ponzi when they lose out and don't ever roi.

This is sad, some poor sap is selling them for $4k. It goes 700gh/s....hmm, let me see, Antminer s3 or BFL Monarch ?

I just checked and the price is down to $1800

Maybe the seller is a member of this forum and he just came across this thread? Cheesy

Even at $1800, it is still overpriced heavily.

agreed, someone is not doing their homework. i was a victim of BFL the 1st time around. i placed an order when difficulty was 50M. i got my jalapeno when difficulty was 1 BILLION. huge difference. BFL keeps doing people dirty. how they are not getting investigated is beyond me. everyone knows damn well they mine with all the preorders and ship when difficulty makes that HW obsolete.

The reason why butterfly labs monarch is more expensive because its rare like an antic. But anyhow don't bother buying it unless it is for museum..

I think they named it after a butterfly as you must be like a butterfly watcher... you watch from far away but getting one to display in your house is hard

.

The thing i found most interesting is with all their ones they showed off at conferences when they had prototype they had setting on a nice platform making it look like a PCI-e card. Now with new shield on this i don't see a single reason they spent so much time with PCI-e design.
