So how many here are on the short list for Tuesday?
I figure: 10,000 chips divided by 16 per K16 Board, is 625 small boards or 156 large boards.
We don't yet know the USD they are will be asking but we should assume at least 100% mark-up on the chip price (so as to be able to buy twice as many chips) plus the cost of the board and MOB, plus the operating costs of their SMT line, plus paying themselves. So maybe the wiser here can throw some more numbers at this and come up with a guesstimate of what they need to ask for their products.
I wonder if there will be/should be a maximum # per customer per round? It would keep in the spirit of "decentralized" and "P2P" I think. I am sure that there are many here with the funds ready to buy out the lot, I would hate to see that happen. I mean we are talking about 2,820Gh/s lets not lose sight of the responsibility of such power. That is almost 2% of today's network speed.
I see your view, but people could already do massive purchases of ASIC's that are in people's hands (with enough money) and GPU's to take a significant portion of the hash rate as it is.
It seems like your post is implying that there should be a maximum of these chips each person can buy?
Not really, I guess the point i was trying to make is: it makes no difference to TH whether they sell 12 boards to 100 people or 100 boards to 12 people, either way they will be selling. But to you or I there is a big difference in what they choose to do. Maybe you have 10k laying around but I dont, nor would I have the resources to power a farm, but keeping in the spirit of the idea of BitCoin is what I was suggesting. But they will do what they wish.
