Its still hard for me the belive that sp20s made SP-tech no money.

-The chips are already developed and ready
-Boards are hillariously cheap . It has 3 boards basically if you count the controller.
-No power supply.

The only thing I can think is the cost comes from the steel casing , if thats the case strip it down and sell the miner for the same price with just the hashing boards and a fan. And charge extra
for an encased board.

The only oher thing i can think is they don't want competion for thier new bulk hardware which is strange to me since the hardware is not even in production yet?

Have you ever manufactured semi conductors? Please enlighten me on how boards are "hilariously cheap", pull one apart and price up the components to start to get yourself a feel for it...

Guy seems like an honest, stand up guy, so when he says SPTech didn't make money on the SP20 I believe him.

I agree, though regardless, if SPTech made money on them, then it would stand to reason that they'd make a similar model using next-gen chips. Unless they don't like money.

Their saying the definetly WILL NOT produce consumer models for their next gen. Thing is right now Bitman is sold out on their s4s SP20E is sold out
where the F are we supposed to buy miners from now lol.

I don't expect any new hardware from SP-TECH till around end of summer in any case and it wont be consumer grade either way
