Why do you think that BFL doesn't give out how many have actually ordered? I was thinking about ordering some more sc mini rigs, but how do we know that they haven't sold 500 TH's worth or more? I wont be buying any more until I get more info on what has been sold and to see what other companies are doing. For all we know, a sc mini rig may only be worth 1k dollars or so.. Not 30k..
I think its not smart to invest any more into BFL right now. Not until we get a good idea of what the difficulty/BFL sales) is going to be... I'm already gambling, even though my orders were placed in the first month.
Those that are purchasing anything from here on out are REALLY taking a risk....
I bet that the price sc mini rig will be dramatically lower. Whos going to invest 30k when its impossible to ever recoup that much?
Now its a wait and see game..
BTW, as to order numbers being wrong, I totally believe that the are grossly overestimated. When I was ordering, I actually placed like 4 or 5 different orders until everything was figured out and i made my decision on what to actually pay for...I guarantee that many people made just totally bogus numbers to mess with people and others were undecided and just haven't paid, etc. Only BFL knows the exact orders and they aint talkin'...
FUD
Of course its FUD. I have invested over 100k worth into BFL, trust me, Im rooting for them big time..But, If were starting to look at them today? yes, I probably would put in an order for a single or a jalepeno, but to lay out tens of thousands of dollars and not even having a clue on whats going to be delivered before you actually get them is a HUGE risk.. Even those of us that ordered in the first month are taking that risk.
Seriously, would you pay 30k for something that may not generate that much over a 4 years time?.. Granted, there are a lot of unknowns, if the bitcoin jumps to 1000 us, then it really doesn't matter, but im assuming that the coins is at 15-18 by Jan...
All im saying is that its a HUGE risk to order now, not saying that you shouldnt, anyone can do whatever with their money, but for myself, without knowing how many they have actually sold, Its hard to guage the income potential. Im not buying any more because I have a feeling that in a few months the sc mini rig will be selling for much less than it is today...
It's actually a good business decision not to let everyone know, that way they still receive their asking price. I can guarantee you if we actually knew the real numbers, they wouldn't be getting as many orders as they are now... I still we be upgrading my single that i haven't paid for already. But until I get a good feel for what has been sold, etc I will be playing the waiting game. Granted, it could cost me money for doing this, but it could also be saving me some, too...
