I'm surprised who would still be buying it. considering you never know when eth team would pull the plug on it after they receive a unit. I just feel its kind of risky to buy them with shady business practice of bitmain going from 800-2200 you never know when the price drop might come

Seems like no matter what the profit numbers and risk parameters are, some dumbass somewhere will buy it.

This dumbass bought 1 at $800 just to screw around with.

Could've bought 2 Eth and made a $400 dollar profit - don't understand why people thought an Eth ASIC was a good idea ...

If it is profitable to mine, and the difficulty is not rising too fast, miner is a good investment.

This miner was a great investment at $800.00. at the current price, it is still a good investment. it is still cheaper than putting together an equivalent GPU rig, and probably more important to some people... it is basically plug and play.

furthermore, ETH isn't the only coin to mine. Personally speaking, one of the main reasons I got into mining is to mine coins early on that are difficult to purchase, for one reason or another..
I think some of the people knocking this miner are those who are heavily invested in GPU Rigs and don't want anyone else jumping in the mining pool.

dollars to donuts that as these same people continue to loudly bemoan everything Bitmain releases, call people names for purchasing and try to convince others that the product isn't worth buying, they themselves are purchasing Bitmain miners.
