yes, $1000 mining hardware, where as someone like me looks for 10 times Less on the cost, i don't have thousands to throw at a few hundred chips on a board or 4.
i want to see miners back in the hands of the "hobbyist miners". if not, lets all "Cloud mine" off one or two companies with 100PH/s, that will centralise the Bitcoin protocol.
If i can get 100
Mh/s (ehem, i meant GH/s) for $50-100 Shipped to me, im good with that.
