PRE-ORDER model that funds development ...
RockerBox ASIC (our 2nd gen ASIC inside SP30) development wasn't funded from pre-orders.

Sorry, I was speaking in general, not a specific reference to one of your products. Funding is critical of course, but even the best capitalized technology companies in the world, the big guys, are notoriously late to market for pre-announced products. Delivery dates should always be taken with a grain of salt. I wish you much success. Cheers.

Hi All,

PRE-ORDER model that funds development is just silly. Please don't waste your money. Maybe (with respect) it's a lack of experience or willing suspension of disbelief or simple naivite, but the mining community in particular seems to be susceptible to this kind of bad decision making. This is not a reflection on the 'good faith-ness' of the vendors, I'm sure their hearts are in the right place, it's just good business and common sense when you're dealing with a product in the development phase, especially in this case where timing is so critical. I think this is more fitting for a crowdfunding platform like Kickstarter where the delivery date is highly speculative.

Wishing much success to the mining community. Please be careful.

Cheers.
