My understanding based on previous discussions in the main thread is the 10 gh/s blades cost well more than .1 btc to produce.  Can you elaborate on why you feel they could be priced at .1 btc? or where your getting this estimate?
I just pulled out a number.  I don't recall their exact cost (I do believe it is below .3 btc), but we don't know the cost of the latest round of hardware (500 TH), yet.

The point is that people will continue to buy blades, if their prices continue to drop.  (price per gh is the driving factor in the current market)

EDIT:  looking back through my notes, Vycid had a number of $1.50/GH for current cost of production (for the last round of hardware).  If that number is correct (I have no reason to think otherwise), then the blades cost ~$15 (~.12 btc) to produce. 

The question then becomes, would you buy a blade for .25 btc or even .5 btc right now?  I think a lot of people would certainly say yes.
