You don't. 60% will be donated, 40% will go to RoadStress as payment for organizing.

you don't... the reservation fee doesn't apply to purchase price. its just that, a reservation to be able to purchase at a certain price point

yes it is cost of the miner is $500 if you pay the reservation fee to be eligible to purchase at that price haha It would be nice to get a little extra off with the fee though

Sigh... I really want to, but I just can't. Even with the low prices it just doesn't make sense. Curse my expensive power. But there is nothing available right now with a better power consumption. And nothing with a lower price. You just can't get anything better than this.

It's unfair towards RoadStress.

Also, it's both disappointing, having sent my reservation fee, and unprofessional...

And nothing with a lower price. You just can't get anything better than this. Well, the S5 does actually have better efficiency (if they hit their 0.51J/GH at the wall spec) unless you downclock the unit to ~1TH/s, at which point it's more expensive per GH/s than the S5. I won't get into that debate here though, as I actually do like the SP20 more. I can only mine profitably at the current price of BTC until about 90B difficulty though, and I really have to massage the numbers to come up with a scenario where difficulty doesn't at least double before I pay off even a $500 (and $7 ) purchase price.

In a sense I agree but without RoadStress setting the GB up and most of us submitting a reservation fee then we wouldn't have access to this opportunity at all

Also, it's both disappointing, having sent my reservation fee, and unprofessional... We do expect future participants to pay the reservation fee. From past experience, once the link was up, there were some people that didn't. RoadStress selected small, but meaningful reservation fee, a bit more than half percent, on purpose.

A sentence that it isn't a deposit probably would have been appropriate, especially given the advertisement that the cost of two units is $1000.

I do want to get into it here. Beside the obvious which is proven working design, you'll get the SP20 7-10 days before the S5. Do the math.

So now that the product page has been posted, when is payment deadline? Because I didn't think this would be posted until the 28th. I'm not at home with access to my BTC wallet until after Christmas.

No problem. The sooner you'll pay, the sooner we'll ship.
