Alydians launch-day pricing was $65,000 per Terahash [...]
I wonder if they've gotten the memo that most other mining companies get around $10k (or less) per 1TH/s...or I could just buy from Bitfury or KnC and pay a fraction of what they're asking for the same speed.
I am not sure if you picked up it but it looks like they just purchase a batch of Avalon or BFL Chips and are re-packaging them into a solution. I am leaning towards Avalon. If you buy a Avalon batch then you get 3 Th per batch. Nothing suggests that this is there own chip.
Thoughts?
Could certainly be the case, and would also help explain their exorbitant pricing model. I'll have to give it another look and edit later.
They are charging as much as possible with the premium that comes with being Coinlab backed. I bet they will sell out due to new investments rushing to mining and being scared of investing in Avalon/BFL due to their long standing "Fuckup history".
