CanaryInTheMine:
I appreciate the service you provide. I've ordered a few times now, and know you provide outstanding service. However, I am a bit disappointed in the price dropping so rapidly over the last couple weeks.
I am sure you can understand the disappointment of having the price drop only a couple days after an order. It's happened to me twice now and I'm starting to feel like a fool. Could you please give us some guidance on how often prices drop or maybe what might trigger price drops in the future? For example, are they directly tied to difficulty or is it dictated by the batch or something else altogether?
Thanks!
I feel ya but it's not his fault, all supply and demand. If the Antminer wasn't out, and ASICminer didn't produce so many cubes, then the price would be higher or less soft. He's just the seller, and a great one at that, but to remain competitive he needs to price at the market. Holding out for a price drop doesn't make sense because the units cover less ground now than they did a week ago. The thing to be frustrated with is that something 2 months old is seen as "obsolete". I'm tempted to buy 2 more at this price, but at this point I'm just gonna let what I own run for a while. The price is all supply and demand, finding blame is like faulting someone for the forces of gravity. The .40 BTC you spend now can potentially be used in 2 months to buy an Antminer; in the end, from the patterns thus far, the market will price these things so your timing will have only a small impact on where your final balance lands, at least in the near-term.
