Why do you think this is killing, please explain
They have
no competition and sell their h/w with 8+ mths payback time.
Their competitors
cannot ship in quantity to compete.
If they did, the prices of ASICMiner products would have to come down to 1-3 month range.
Right now they are the only game in town, so they make huge profit selling those blades/sticks.
Do you think people will stop buying their next blade? It will sell like there is no tomorrow.
Unless BFL starts shipping minirigs in quantity, or avalon ships their batch #2/#3, chips and announce a 2nd gen chip.
eh, it seems a bit foolish to me
if you believe bitcoins will go up in value enough to warrant purchasing one of those, then you should just buy the bitcoins off the market
i mentioned something about how specialized equipment leads to more centralization, not less, and then someone responded about how all this extra hashing power is good for the network (like 8 months ago?)
i guess to chase off the cpu bot miners, though im not sure the positives outweigh the negatives
