Well if it's much less, then break even point is literally 2~3~4 months. Unless these units drastically increase the difficulty, thus increasing break even time.
A Single will then be obsolete and you will have no choice but to trade it in. Rig box will become basic entry point product.
The trade in now looks very generous, even too generous

My point is that at those prices or even at a much lower price (say $100K) 99% of the buyers of a single will not be able to trade it in, as they won't have the funds or the commitment to put down that kind of extra money. I actually don't see the trade in as a much added value, other than people can perhaps pool their singles, buy 1 ASIC and share the hashing power....
It will be nice for Gigavps, he can probably exchange all his singles, his mini-rigs before they ship, get an ASIC and some money back
All I can say at this point is that our units will have different models and will be affordable for general public. 100K$ is not affordable
for general public, and is not a good price reference.

I'm assuming you're going to be producing Singles 2.0 and trading those for Single 1.0s.
seems that way, but what are they going to do with the old singles?
That's the question I am very interested in
May sound crazy, but as their ASIC is custom made by them, then possibly they could desolder the FPGA and solder an ASIC in it's place, in which case the Singles could be reused and re-modified.
FPGA can then be resold in the second hand market (as already being done with such chips)
