take the wind out so your current farm doesnt have to compete with as much?
No, so they don't overcharge the community. They're a "how much you got?" equal opportunity bilker. They're quite disingenuous when trying to turn a profit. They wanted like $12K/board a year ago for the XUPP3R, telling me it was impossible to get pricing down to $5K/board. A month later, I had negotiated pricing they said was impossible. Now they want to come in here and screw over the community?

also @senseless, did you buy fpga or just rent while the price was low.
I own 2x VCU118 used to proof designs and software. I leased as I was never able to raise the funds I wanted to build the FPGA mega mine.
