Umm we are certainly concerned about miners going obsolete too quickly and that is why we are trying produce a modular miner that can mitigate that to some degree for people who will potentially buy or manufacture them.
Apples to oranges. You're developing a product that has a
selling point (a feature, if you will) that resists obsolescence. And that's great. But your effort is driven by good will, not by profit. I applaud that. Publicly-held companies rarely pay anything more than lip service to good will, for the simple reason that their shareholders expect them to put profit ahead of public service. Even the privately-held companies are, by and large, driven by profit. Reducing obsolescence is only a viable strategy when you're the underdog and you want to steal market share from someone else, and then only for a short period of time.
Geez, you are american? Allways thinking about short term profit?
You know, there are companies producing modular miner, e.g.
Bitmine.
Upgradeability isnt just good will or environment consciousness. It also about getting repeat customers. Someone already paid 2k for a miner? Quite possibly more likely to buy another 2k for upgrades later on than purchase from a competitor.
And even in markets where people can buy competing parts (e.g. normal computer business) standards vor upgrading hardware are common.
After all, the customer is the king, vote with your wallet, e.g. i wouldnt buy a smartphone with a non-replaceable either. But well, if customers are dumb enough to put up with stuff like that and buy anyway its their fault.
