I believe first batch is Sept release. G32 asics are our second best selling series atm. Let's hope for less vapor, and more to liquid or solid release of these.
Yeah, I just can't justify it at:
1-The tariff of 27.6% including import fees to the USA.
2-Shipping the beast to boot costs on top of that.
3-Innsilicon won't say how many are pre-ordered or we have a way to even guess.
4-The first batch of any new algorithm is always iffy! Obelisk Grin Units are no more for that reason.
5-The powers that be are completely freaked about Bitcoin, imagine if they get a grasp of GRIN and Mimblewimble!
6-And the price is way too high for a pre-order IMHO. Add the China Tariff on this and truly doomed!
7-Pre-Orders rarely arrive on time. In my experience, the average at best is around 2 months late by the time they hit your porch.
8-Seems in the USA the IRS is gonna send me a letter, so I may have other fun issues to play with
9-Lastly, not a slam, if I get stuff from you guys instead, a bit more, you have to make a profit. (Do you at least have a year warranty or something to justify going thru you?)
On the other hand, I'm kinda pissed off about all the crypto FUD by the current Trump Administration, the price is not where I want it to be and Facebook Libra fiasco, and
of course, when I'm at such points in time, a truly 'stupid/off the wall/senseless and truly futile gesture' being entirely inappropriate is how I usually roll.
Or as I like to say, 'stupid' newbie tricks that worked in the past.
Worked in 2013 for KNC Jupiter 550gh BTC miner.
Worked in 2014 for KNC Neptune switched to a KNC Titan for more Algos to play with.
Worked in 2016 on a risky no-return buy of KNC Liquidation Titans with no real warranty or even we would get KNC Titans.
Worked in 2017 getting Bitmain L3's from China (not available in USA site at that time) via
www.eastshore.xyz (Eastshore did have a year warranty by the by back then) April 1st ordered on a whim.
Bitmain L3+'s when available from USA site finally.
Again, did so on April Fool's day and got laughed on here saying before LTC $6 was the floor on price on L3 orders before.
DID NOT WORK IN 2018 for 8 Bitmain L3+'s, but one does not expect a 75% drop in BTC prices don't ya know. Got my ass handed to me!
2019 NO FRIGGING IDEA! ??
So yeah, something stupid is probably called for, I've not decided yet as I await my IRS letter of doom
Probably flipping a coin on all above major decisions would be more likely to work out, I've gotten less brave the farther from Newbie status I get.
Crypto: Always Drama!
