I really hope trade ins will receive priority!
I placed an order for a mini rig, just a month back, the way i see it. If there is a 6 month gap from the time the last FGPA mini rig ships and the 1st ASIC based SC starts shipping, I am good. The current projected ROI on the mini rig is 6 months. I hope BFL considers that the current customers get first priority.
Just what in their current business practices makes you think they have any respect for their current customers as well they are required by various laws to put their shareholders interests first and if that means screwing their current customers over so be it.
And keeping shareholders interests first doesn't mean screwing over your customers. In fact, screwing over your customers would equate to NOT keeping your shareholders interests first, as the company would probably go under shortly afterward. Who wants to buy product from a company that screws its customers over?
Maximizing long term profits is just as viable a goal as maximizing short term profits. No shareholder or government entity is going to come down on BFL because they are trying to maximize long term profits.
