As far as Genesis is concerned, im sure they bought these kind of machines before they were available to us. For sure they got a better price than 2699$.

They then decided to sell the power of each D3 at 65,000$us..... ( if you wanted to buy 15,000mhs from Genesis ... )

And i personally think, that the reason why they chose to have a limit of 100$us a day to keep it equal was not something logical. if i was Genesis, and i knew that 1.5 months after , BITMAIN and other will release 10GHs and above model, i would try to sellout anything i could of x11 on Genesis, before those miners come to light....

Because now DASH mining even for people having 600-1200mhs on Genesis will die soon. it will make just cents a day...
