This discussion is regarding an individual who owns ONE Avalon. He's not a manufacturer. Selling it doesn't make sense.

Fair enough I thought it was about Avalon in general. Yes at this point in time, there is much more to be made mining than selling unless you can get tens of thousands for it.

Until you sell so many chips at once that the network hashrate increases by over 200TH/sec from your chips alone

Which is what they are doing

Because that's what you do.

During a goldrush, you sell shovels.

It's also orders of magnitude easier, less work, less risk, and potentially profitable, to sell chips to people who then make the miners or whatever.

It's like saying "Why does intel make CPUs when they could make computers"
