It would make sense at a reasonable $1188,- pricepoint, similar to where their first batch of X10 was released for and in line with the pricing of the X3.
Expecting a price drop soon.

Well...my situation (with fed/soc sec and state tax) a tax bill of 50% ..so 1/2 my mining is going to the tax man (that is high, last year it was 41% but I can't afford
to learn excel, get a bookeeper..keep calling my CPA (that is 2k gone last year with taxes done) etc....so the overage of 9% I can apply to my home biz health insurance
(all can be written off in 2019) if I have extra.....simple/stupid/but works (already set aside this years health insurance monthly payments)

THUS my point:

IF I'm looking at around 50% going to the tax man anyway..plus the concentrated equipment deduction allowed on equipment from 5 years to 1 year....or 25% off on
equipment above as applied to taxes I know I'm gonna pay anyway

my risk is 25% over the 50% above (ballpark) set aside for the tax man etc, etc (in my simple-minded tax plan....hey worked last year...thus this years health insurance paid)

So, I can't see getting this EVEN with the above perk (not at a 10 count)

NOW, with the above, I MIGHT get ONE...but look at my logic above...not a lot of risk getting one in my case

but from the NOISE on how all the coins effected are screaming they are gonna FORK not sure that kite flies either

So, essentially if I did not have to go thru the hassle and say had a couple guys getting these and I could grab ONE maybe (for giggles)

in that, I've had very little success with Baikal and ordering and all that plus the 10 min order

but really, I'm looking at this and for the most part going NAH!

So those not in my mining/equip/revenue situation and paying 75% in real crypto of fiat for a chance at a 25% equipment deduction this year IF YOU PAY TAXES on crypto...

it just looks lame...so to those not kinda caught in the 'damn I need equipment crosshairs" I am (till my scrypt-pow machines become doorstops)

RUN AWAY..is my advice, especially if it is gonna be FORK city and F*ck the ASIC's with these units..unless you are like me and want to play flip a coin..

(so badly need toys, so badly can't justify any) Sad
