Canaan's intention is to get as many miners spread across the globe as possible to build on the decentralization of the network, that is ours as well, we do not want to prioritize any "large buyer" no matter what they try to offer us in terms of personal bribes. We would rather see one of these in 100 peoples garages, than 100 in a data center somewhere or being resold on the market.
We will have a few tweaks to the checkout process for the next time around, but mainly issue was just sold out too fast, site said still in stock when they were not due to a few hung up orders that buyers were having payment issues, so technically it was sold out, just didnt relay that it was fast enough as people were still checking out.
We obviously could have raised the price much higher and slowed sales down, but in the end that is not the best for the community as a whole.
As frustrating as it is to lose out on an F5 fight, and as much as everyone things they have a perfect solution (which they dont) one thing is for sure: Blokforge stayed true to and delivered on their mission to decentralize even though it would have been much easier and more profitable for them to sell to 1 or 2 high rollers. Thanks for giving us little guys a chance, Blokforge! Please know that in spite of all the complaints and whining, tthe silent majority is grateful and looking forward to another F5 fight for the 821 in January!
