They need the margin to finance their "farm" - this entire asic arms race is getting totally ridiculous.
Burnin does not offer any refunds until mid October, using the pre-order money to create the
new boards and pay for the chips and manufacturing costs. Then to top it off, the reward for this
"financing" by the pre-order customers is to screw them again with the cryptx deal. Burnin needs
to come clean and at a minimum offer the pre-order customers boards at cost, as they are the
forced "investors" in this game.

I haven't even looked at the new hardware, i had 10 bitburners on order and haven't received a single email from either burnin or cryptx.
