Why would hardware sales be temporary?  AM makes more on hardware than mining, and that's just the plain truth.  It makes no sense to mine with hardware when you get the prices AM has been getting.

Yes, cooling for franchising, that's what I am talking about.  Enterprise level, not personal miners.  The instant ASIC farm package.

Listen, if you can only scrape a small profit from mining, vs getting all of your mining profits paid to you up front (hardware), which are you going to do?

And developing services/solutions for the bigger operations is the logical next step.
