IMHO, too expensive at the current difficulty.

[stormlighter]

seems a bit pricey?

seems a bit pricey?

Yea but the question is their any alternative that is cheaper, this is the cheapest I could find.

IMHO, too expensive at the current difficulty.

Same thought crossed my mind.

By the time it ships, they will surely give the price a haircut.

I second that.

I also agree but so far it's been the nature of the best in the bitcoin mining industry so far.. :/

I'm waiting for Cointerra to show us what they can do. In the meantime difficulty will have a change to develop further.
Baby Jet isn't that much of an improvement if any from BitFury. I should get some this month

HERE HERE!  I'm done sending $$ or BTCBTC to companies who have ZERO obligation to me as a customer.

I'm waiting for Cointerra to show us what they can do.

Me too! 

I am hoping to become a distributor or at least host a few Group Buys since they are only a few hours away from me

I'm third on this. No more pre-order should go to any vendor before their products are ready to ship / have proof that they can deliver that they are selling. The recent Avalon chip fiasco should be a damn good reason to reconsider pre-ordering anything.

Pre-orders are fine when there is adequate consumer protection in place. Unfortunately, most ASIC vendors do not have it.

I ordered and already paid for one. Got my eggs in multiple ASIC baskets... I guess I haven't learned the BFL lessons :/, but at least the founders and other members aren't convicted felons It's expensive assuming everyone else delivers on time, but I'm betting some/most eggs won't. Plus, they have the Miner protection program which helps if ROI isn't achieved within 90 days.

One thing that threw me off was that they originally said they'd allow Local pick up, but when I ordered they contacted me to say that they won't be allowing it. Meh, maybe they'll reconsider.

KnC is allowing people to cancel their orders. If you read the thread there are a bunch of people who got cold feet, asked for a refund and got it.

So at least with them, if you change your mind before they ship you can back out.  HashFast isn't allowing cancel, they're very BFL like.

Also, they were saying they'd refund your money only if they didn't ship before December 31st. At which point the difficulty could be off the charts if Cointerra ships.

On the other hand they have a "miner protection plan" where you get extra chips if their units don't ROI in 90 days, but it's just chips, you still have to pay for cases/PCBs with that plan.

KnC is already saying their november prices will be lower, so if you want a miner in that price range at that date, it's probably better to just wait until november and buy from them.

And look at where that has gotten miners so far...

Thanks but no, no more pre-orders for me.

[cypherdoc]

well, i still have my 8 orders in.  of course.

one day, one of these companies is going to make it thru the pre-order gauntlet in good shape and then go on to do great things in terms of being able to produce a money making machine at their own expense just so everyone who buys it can make guaranteed money.  sounds like a paradox, eh?  it is, b/c then why sell them?

anyways, that is what everyone around here in Bitcoin Asic World seems to think is going to happen.  i really don't think so.  which is why i don't mind the pre-order scenario given that i believe i have done my due diligence.  no risk, no gain.

i want to be involved in asic mining.  but that's just me. we'll see.

[juve4v]

No more pre-orders for me too!

[dopamine]

Well I held off on pre order on BFL and I did pre ordered avalon, so far I made the right call and now I have a pre ordered for some baby jets.
