The quote is mine and it is true. Moving back to the GPU form factor allows me to scale with commodity hardware instead of waiting to take delivery of extra engineered devices. All other manufacturers are going down the old broken path and it is not modular nor does it allow for mass scale.
I just wish they would have got caught up with shipping all the orders that people have been waiting for before making this announcement, but I also understand they are not the only game in town now so they have to put it out there to get people back on the hook. Even if the other guys are not as good, time is the big factor here, difficulty is a bitch and she ain't going down. As much as I want to move to the newer product, I'm going to just wait, get all my MiniRigs, mine at the difficulty level now vs waiting and try to catch scraps come Jan/Feb. The chances of them actually pulling off delivery by the end of the year based on prior history of all their other products is pretty slim. But hey, if you've got the baller cash and are investing in the future, sure, why not. I would if I could. Their delays with delivering Singles cost most of us dearly, let's not be fooled again. Don't get me wrong, I love the end product, I've made my investment back several times over. Those of us that got them when we did lucked out for that period of time and where difficulty was at. I just hate their marketing decisions, customer service, and delivery schedules.
Oh and remember difficulty is a bitch.
Unless this mining dashboard is way off somehow, I'm showing these units will never show a profit.
