And 28nm is not coming next. Next is 40nm.
Next is 40nm? I think gen2 was scrapped because it didnt work and friedcat moved on to work with gen3 because it was more promising? So whats correct now?
Costs have already been paid for, there is no way shipping is 20% of that price.
Is friedcat still selling miners for a price that includes the shipping cost? Thats bad business practice since buyers will compare to other miners and those wont have the shipping cost included for sure. Its better to be able to show a price that is a bit better and at the end of ordering put the shipping cost on top. At that point a customer doesnt care anymore about shipping cost because he awaited it. But including it from the start will drive potential customers away. |

Q) Can Lophie change ONE letter and make this post very very scary and inaproperiate? A) YES,! Is friedcat still selling minors for a price that includes the shipping cost? Thats bad business practice since buyers will compare to other minors and those wont have the shipping cost included for sure. Its better to be able to show a price that is a bit better and at the end of ordering put the shipping cost on top. At that point a customer doesnt care anymore about shipping cost because he awaited it. But including it from the start will drive potential customers away.

I disagree. Customers always pay shipping costs, they are included in the price. When somebody buys more than one unit, shipping costs are paid multiple times but actual costs won´t rise much. |

friedcat sells bulks to resellers (probably shipping included in price) and resellers sell to customers, shipping extra

I don't know if he includes it or not, but I expect he does. It's not a bad thing, because he earns in BTC and shipping is paid in Fiat. It certainly won't make up 20% of the sell price. |

Regarding shipping... the problem is probably nearly not existing when he sells miners only to resellers and with a minimum units per shipment. Then shipping cost wouldnt matter much. What i mean is it would be bad for enduser sales since endusers only check the prices for the miners and dont care about shipping cost for the moment. Even all the comparing websites only take the normal miner prices to compare. If a cube for 1 BTC includes shipping cost and a miner form another company with the same specs doesnt contain shipping cost but is 0.95 BTC because of that then it looks like Asicminer is a bit more expensive and most people want to get things the cheapest way. So at compare lists like http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ asicminer would have a disadvantage from the start. Of course friedcat would receive more money when customers buy more miners in one shipment but customers have to get to that point first. Thats why i think its best to price miners at 0.95 BTC, have the miners look more competitive this way and each customer will pay the shipping cost at the end without thinking much about it. Even when he would think carefully before if another miner would be a small bit cheaper. I only think its an advantage that i always would use if possible. Of course its relatively theoretical if he only trades with resellers. |

And 28nm is not coming next. Next is 40nm.
Next is 40nm? I think gen2 was scrapped because it didnt work and friedcat moved on to work with gen3 because it was more promising? So whats correct now? Both are correct. Gen2 was 55 or 65nm (can't be bothered to look it up, it's dead) and was scrapped. Gen3 is 40nm and that's what's coming next after Gen1. |

But with the little info we have it does look like 40nm might be gen3 |

Who cares if 28 or 40? The most important is 0.2W/GH, isn't it?

The next gen will most likely be 40nm. |

It was clear gen2 was 55 or 65, and was abandoned. The next one developed is 40nm, that was also clear. 28 was never mentioned, if some of you are misleaded it's just because...
Lot of made-up stuff recently! This thread was reasonably thoughtful usually (compared to others at least...), but in the last weeks it seems the price as attracted a bunch of new investors that feel the need to write everything with such a strong self-confidence despite the fact that they pretty much have nothing to say or worse, they have BS to say. When you don't have anything constructive to say, you know you can just keep silent, too?
I could as well just click the "ignore" buttons repeatedly as I'm sure others did here recently, but I wanted to say it instead because really, it's a pitty for this thread.

Wow indeed the friedcat post never mentions 28 nm... and yet I started thinking it was. What is up with this thread lately? Who cares if 28 or 40? The most important is 0.2W/GH, isn't it?
Actually efficiency might not be the biggest concern yet (cheap electricity, or selling instead of mining). Price per GH matters more. How does next gen price per gh compare to the competition? |

Care to elaborate instead of a pointless rant? As far as I know the only misinformation floating around was that gen3 would be 28nm. Friedcat had not made it clear what size each gen was and 28nm is seen as the gold standard so I can see why many thought it would be next gen. All it takes is one person to point out that 28nm was never in fact mentioned like pankakke did and the confusion is instantly cleared. |

Can someone let us know how this fares against the best competition around at the moment? thx
(and several answers following, I'm sure you can find them among the crap) So now we even loop for ever? Seriously! Do you need me to elaborate further? |
