Well I dont care that they are a business. I don`t support their methods. Their actions is created to make a buzz, not to mention high price. They are actually shipping out the blades, I give them that though.
For 8000 USD you could purchase 20 * 7970s, have a hashrate of 15GH/s (4GH/s more than Blades), have the possibility to resell them after you are done with them. Or shift to Litecoins.
With Erupter Blades you are kinda stuck since they can`t be used for Litecoins. Its all or nothing
I don't think the way they do it is greedy at all. They would get a ridiculous price from auctioning them on ebay. AM IPO share, in some sense is fixed price preorder, and now we are auctioning them on the pass-thrus right ? And now the products are ready, we gotta have to auction them.
