I have a crazy revelation for you.
Go and do your analysis on the price of the original BitBurner board.
To simplify the task for you I'll give you some specs: it hashes at 8.8Gh/s and it's price was effectively 3.5 BTC shipped with VAT included.
IT WAS AVAILABLE AT THAT PRICE 1 MONTH AGO WHEN THE CLOSEST COMPETITOR PRODUCT WAS AM's BLADE RUNNING @ 12Gh/s OC'ED AND THE PRICE WAS 10 BTC

The difference is that with the previous board the PRICING WAS TRANSPARENT.
Everybody knew what they're paying for.
Avalon fucked everything, but that's not the point.
THE POINT IS THAT THE PREVIOUS BOARD WAS NOT PRICED SO THAT IT'S 10% BELOW THE COMPETITION
AND THAT WAS NOT WAVED AROUND AS IF EVERYBODY SHOULD BE BOWING DOWN IN GRATITUDE FOR THESE 10%.

If it was available and such a good price in comparison, why not buy it instead?
what is there to complain about?
if there is better option out there for you, why not buy it?
why would this company go and offer you a product 70% off or whatever number you are expecting when you only have to make it cheaper than the next in order to get buyers, in some cases you don't even have to do that

last i checked direct from bfsb was more expensive and delivering in nov for late orders? that seems like worse deal than this.. of course you can always take a gamble on one of these super cheap 28nm products..maybe it will show up in 2 months, maybe it will show up in "2 weeks"

Just stop writing right now, and go read up on the history of this BitBurner XX board and Avalon mess. Your ignorance is showing.

edit: for your information, that 70% refers to the fact that we already lost 30% of the money we paid for the previous product that failed to materialize en masse because of Avalon's delays.
