If the deal was exclusive, burnin has handed a monopoly to Cryptx and asic-hardware.com.  Cryptx already has his orderbooks from the bitburner - with the correct pricing this would have been a win-win-win for manufacturer-distributor-customer.

I hope this wasn't an exclusive deal and burnin may consider allowing the free market to dictate distributor pricing by stating minimum orders and terms of business for new distributorships.  Group buy anyone?  TBH unless anyone has volumes of Bitfury chips about to be shipped, it's almost academic and the monopoly will both prevail and likely fail (if that's even possible!), dragging burnin's reputation down with it.
