When (time of year) did you ask for a quote?

The messaging was rather disjointed, but I'm still not sold that more than two people (BF side) were involved in the exchange. I watched an interview with a BitFury guy at some conference from Oct 2017 where he said the price for B8 units was 5200 and I was quoted $7k. Maybe they do it to see if you balk at the price tag or ask more questions?



Conversation took place on Dec 18, 2017.
“We sell integrator kit (see attached) for $20k. This is reimbursed against final invoice when $2M+ chips purchased.

They also said that bulk order chips will be ready by September 2018 (if ordered now).  Thus, I’m very confused about their pricing and ability to ‘actually’ deliver.
