I and many others have requested a price structure breakdown for the BitBurner Fury boards due to the vast difference (470 to 700) between the projected price and price offered now.
We know that the Bitfury chips that go on the board cost 360 eur (given that you didn't get any additional discount).
That means that your estimation of 110 eur for development & your profit margin is now all the way up to 340 eur.
That is roughly three times the originally anticipated amount.
You stated in another thread that board development/production expenses have increased.
Does that mean trippled?
I don't think he meant such a drastic increase. I guess an increase of a few tens of euros would be in the ballpark.
You said that your margin has remained reasonable.
What about your distributor's margin?

I am really not in the business of feeding resellers.
I'm positive this is all down to the distributor's greed. I've asked many questions about this on the forums as well, but cryptx has declined to answer publicly. He however answered my email last night, but the answers were typical boilerplate, so no point in repeating that here.
I feel very frustrated with the way things went and this is not in anyone's interest.
Word. We need to let the distributor know that price gouging won't work. It's simple, we refuse to take all the risk with rising difficulty, and we refuse to line the pockets of middle men.
