I expect these rigs to be no less than $500.00 USD each [including shipping]. That would be $50,000 minimum ...

You didn't hear from me, but try tripling the price - $1500 USD...

They argue:

"Based on recent Bitcoin and Litecoin price, a dual-mode SF100s revenue equals to a 2.8-3.2T pure Bitcoin miner, which makes it 0.3-0.34W/GHS power efficiency."

Bitmain sells S5 batch 5 for about $0.31 USD per GH/s. Why should SFARDS price a more efficient product lower?
So I bet the price will be between $870 USD and $990 USD (exluding shipping).

good guess I don't see much cheaper. basically if the go as low as 600-700 I think bitmaintech would start a price war with them.

Well the S5 has been out for a long time and people are buying them used for much cheaper than new, I think they would either have to push their new product to price war with Sfards.

or sfards sells at 1500 and like avalon does not attempt to go to war with bitmaintech. (most likely case)

they self mine and sell the gear at a high price. thus they escape the attack from bitmaintech.

Sense they are all in China it may never happen it's like one big family there or seems that way .

They still have a code there . but time will tell

.

Maybe the only way we will ever see any kind of price war's is if a A company in the US started up making there own chips etc . then we Might , because that's how we are.

In china i honestly believe it is more a code thing then anything bit main was the first one etc ...
