Saw a listing for a minimum of 120 units delivered over 6 months starting Q3 '22. Asking $80/TH, so $11,200 each. 25% up front, 35% 6 months out, the remainder 1.5 months out.
That's about accurate according to a "maybe leaked" document from Bitmain, the Q4 price is $75/TH,
But the "terms" have changed according to Joe it's now
35% down, 35% 6 months before each batch ships, 30% 1 month before batch ships
The listing you saw is direct from Bitmain, with a minimum order of 100-200 (people are reporting different figures but really 100 and 200 isn't much of a difference as far as I am concerned
), the current retail price for this Q3 is 90$ with a MOQ of 10 pcs, so maybe someone will list MOQ of 1 at $3-7 on top of the $90, let's just go with the 5$ figure, and that will be $95 per TH for the small guys like us so $13,300.
So you pay $4,655 today, then pay another $4,655 two months later, and pay $3,990 in June, hoping to receive it by July.
Maybe they'd do credits if the profitability crashes like they did 2019
That would be good for those looking to buy then, not the ones who get the credit or coupons, the average coupon price back then was 20-30% of face value, some even went for as low as 5%, and some for free, so it doesn't help much if by the time you receive gear it's worth 50% less, but who knows? the profitability then could be 2-3x what it is now and you can sell the miner for profit, all I know is that I'll be sitting with my hands under my *** and watch how this whole mess unfolds.
