Im sorry you are expecting to pay the same price as the people waiting 2 months for these. I could easily set the MSRP at 149, and they would still sell out but Im not, because this project was founded on getting a cheap miner in the hands of as many people as possible, which is what we are doing.
I am new to the forums (been lurking a year), pretty new to mining, with a passionate interest in computer hardware in general and mining hardware - thank you for doing what you're doing and keeping the price low. It's inspirational to see - you're 100% right you can make them cost 149 and they'd still sell out- especially w/ the mining craze that seems to heighten more and more each time prices rise - I haven't ordered one of your devices yet, but I'm looking to ... even if not for profit, extremely interesting and exciting.
And who knows, long run, they most likely will be profit
Also exciting for the tech in general, something beside GPU mining (i'm still trying to understand more about what's under the hood of the [Suspicious link removed]putations in creating crypto, and how hashpower is created in general by GPUs and even by something like a USB stick, or storage space), but devices like yours help grow the competitive landscape of crypto mining, help make it accessible, help grow the tech. Although I've just entered the rabbit hole and took the red pill a year ago, I'm well versed in computer technology and work in a tech related field. I do believe there must be even more efficient ways of mining and obtaining energy in a more cost effective manner. I strongly believe you're contributing to that future.
*(Sidenote, I'm about to go study computer tech hardware from A-Z starting with the telegraph to understand everything as I would love to contribute eventually as well. SO much to learn, so little time!!)*
Anyways, thank you!
