However anyone could done this, but who needs to project a circle from scratch, when you have a bunch of ready to use and P&P stuff, it shows how far desperated they are in earning money and how much they already gathered so they can make such a device without rising and funding all that industrial network which is needed to build up a working PC - they just buy from them RAM, GPU, CPU and thats it, only need to make your own board which is easy as fucking with all that datasheets they have.

They're chinese, they can do anything for money...[/b]

If it's that easy to build an equivalent competing device, why not release it and beat them at their own game? Even their competitor Panda, can't seem to build a better device.

It is so ironic how many people complain about others what others will do for money, but they themselves resell what Chinese manufacture for them to get money for themselves.

It is called monopoly, but you have missed the point of my post

I wont say it is a monopoly considering there are other machines made by others that can mine it.

I would say it's a monopoly considering that the other machines than can mine it are not ASICs.

While many people claim that its almost the same as well tuned GPU rig, the truth is that it is cheaper, easier to configure, and is probably more efficient when it is shipped (bitmain was clear that 180 MH at 800w are just benchmarks and it would be better come July).
