Agree. They can't treat their first buyers as shxt.
I don't understand all these people who complain about them "overpriced" and "robbery".
If you don't like the price then simply don't buy. There is no lack of demand even at this price, so nobody cares about your complaints. Obviously AM reaps the benefits of no competition, and that's okay, because the price is determined by market, not production costs. You don't expect friedcat to be marxist even though he is from "communist" China.
Yes, no one forced people to buy them. But people are stupid and will be pissed off at you once they'll realize they can't turn profit on their 2BTC USB-sticks. I already wrote about this before that they should decrease prices in steps not to piss off buyers. For example price decrease of 0.1BTC every week (and a bit lower initial price) right from the beginning would not piss off so many people as it does now. It probably still wouldn't be profitable, but at least less people would be angry, therefore buying more in the future and even with decreased prices the revenues still can be as high due to increased volumes.
Of course you can enter the numbers into
https://bitclockers.com/calc (mining calculator) and see for yourself.
An estimate on difficulty growth is not so hard to make either. Just look at hashrate increases from last weeks and enter the percentage. But I as already said, people are stupid, and for their own sake (AM) should not piss off the buyers so they will buy more products IN THE FUTURE.
Man, thinking you were going to turn a profit from those usb miners priced at 2BTC is really beyond me. I get there are some retards buying them for $400 on ebay, but seriously... How retard you have to be to buy one of those for $400? I mean... You run out of retards sooner or later.
Unfortunately, I think that at 1BTC we have pretty much the same situation. Sure, some other retards will show up and will buy them at $200 on Ebay - that's the only way to profit, because those things will NEVER ROI mining - not at 2BTC, not at 1BTC.
Don't get me wrong, I will gladly buy one of those only because I think it's a revolutionary item... The mini, USB miner! But thinking you are going to "profit" from them, unless you apply the Greater Fool Theory... Come on... The only way to "profit" from those (mining) is to buy them at $25 or below.
