Generally speaking the whole pre-order thing is a mess. Also noticing that ALL of the US Miner companies are the ones getting or under threat for being sued....but also have the shitty practices that are getting them into this mess in the first place.
it all starts with the US shipping it's manufacturing jobs to China. so now, China has the production facilities for this stuff, and we sit here at their mercy.
Chinese businessmen seem a lot more in tune with invsting in new technology, so the chinese asic companies get the financial backing up front, and don't have to resort to the pre-order model like the US companies.
the new reality is the US falling far behind, and we'll all be speaking mandarin in the near future. lol
pretty bleak, eh? its our own doing. the greed of the US business model is coming back to fuck us.
