these don't sell as well as his first offering. at these prices it's a slap in the face to his established clients. sad.
with btc trending back towards $1000, its a little less terrible, but i agree. the focus should be on rewarding existing customers and nurturing distrobution of the hashrate. these cards likely cost about $150-250 for bitfury to fabricate and assemble, and its not a secret that dave has been re-routing all the newly produced hardware to the
72 100 200 400 450? Terrahash mine. last i saw, something like 13,000 H-boards are in use there, paid for largely by the profit on only 2 sales batches
note: bitfury is still a great product, but they are deviating from where they began in the exact same fashion as asicminer has. By the time they offload the h-cards for cheap, it will only be because they have designed a 28nm specifically for the private mine. I just wish early customers and supporters could be given a fair price that is easily capable of turning a profit, rather than being a 50/50 chance that it will arive in time to do so
