Another person, not paying attention. I never said anything like what you're claiming. I pointed out that by the end of the year there will be a lot more competition and showed how that will compare to AMs current hardware. The point of that was to show that AM will no longer be able to sell 2 Mh/s for 1 USD once that competition is available because the competition will be offering 50 Mh/s for the same price. Nobody in their right mind would buy AM hardware under such circumstances.
you are making assumptions that competitors will actually arrive with hardware and numbers to be able to make a dent in AM's sales. Will this eventually happen ? probably. When will this eventually happen? no one knows. To date, we've heard competitors announcing the release of their hardware every few weeks for almost 6 months. But nothing has arrived. So, what makes you think that they will eventually be able to get it done?
And really, comparing vaporware with real hardware you can buy right now is complete nonsense. Vaporware is cheap to produce, cheap to sell, and cheap to promote. That doesn't make it any more viable, though.
