What did you think, they were going to sell you hundred dollar bills for 75 bucks?  

ASIC retailers should deliver fully functional products to their declared specifications within the time-frame allotted. No more, No less.

The fact that that's even mildly contested is insane.

There's nothing wrong with ASIC manufacturer's pocketing a larger share of the money than those they sell miners to.

The problem arises when they defraud investors with intentional deceit.

Most companies make money off of the initial opportunity granted by having investment capital from home miner's orders. Then they pocket an additional portion of the investor's expected return, causing most to go into the red.

No other consumer industry would be able to do this.
It's a fact that will tarnish cryptocurrencies indefinitely, regardless of how widely accepted they become.

Pretty much agree with this.  In a way they are like the bankers from the old school banking and stock exchange  system of wealth.

Should be fun to see what happens when the two square off to slice up the pie so to speak.   lets see if old money men simply absorb them.
It is well known that ASIC manufacturers can produce ASICs for next to nothing. If they are not able to sell their machines at retail prices I don't see any reason why they would not use their existing inventory to mine instead of just letting it "sit" in their warehouse.

That seems mostly irrelevant. It's about delivering as advertised.

If ASIC manufacturers want to mine with every ASIC they create that's well and good. They shouldn't sell consumers faulty, out of date, intentionally worthless hardware.

RfvKU3RjZT4F9UtjsfXFekCz6WRjDiy1VV

Got the RDD.
Thank you for your giveaway even if it's a miniscule amount.

Miniscule? That's like, 118.66891733 apples. I think that's well over a bushel and the dealer would probably make it an even 119 unless he was a real prick and cut out a portion of an apple.

There's no way to be certain with Bitcoin prices crashing the inquiring mind cannot help but postulate if Crack has done something to Bitcoin prices to cause a crash in price. Coincidence?

Stop being silly.   Ebola could NEVER spread in the USA.   EVERYONE in the USA always washes their hands thoroughly.   We will stop this in its tracks...

Speak for yourself some of us actually take precautions. Corporate Soap brands cause skin cancer, hair loss, acne, lesions, etc.

Ebola wouldn't be a problem if they had left it in the virus storage center but containment was obviously never the goal...

I sell oranges down by the freeway and I shudder to think what life would be like if I took out loans to get a liberal arts degree.

Supposedly they knew he was coming but noticed he had a limp and were afraid of shooting a limping man and that it could be a PR disaster.

Well it's a PR disaster none the less.  America the Great and yet disabled veterans are left to fend for themselves due to some bureaucratic decision made by someone that you can live off $150 disability payment.

They knew he was coming alright because the White House itself paid this man to run across their lawn.

It's a way to push the liberal Agenda.

Crackcoin is a solid coin that just got added to cryptsy and bittrex.

It's cheap now from people selling of pos stake but it will surely rebound in around 2 weeks when the proof of stake minting is over.
