I think we are trying to offer hardware at a price that will support fast ROI - 2 months if prices hold up, less if prices continue to climb. Those that complained about prices back in September/October got very quiet as BTC skyrocketed. This is great - we cheer for our customers who had the courage to pre-order with us and now reap the benefit!

At this time, the only pre-order-able offer from me is going to be reels (deliver mid-late February) at $5/chip, or full mines (minimum 250TH, contact me if you are interested). I will not be able to provide CC processing for chips by the reel, sorry. Oh - after the debacle of last minute cancellations on reels, I won't be offering a refund policy on them. They are Non Cancel - Non Return items.

I plan to turn on sales of H-cards tomorrow. Remember, V1 H-cards will take a bit longer to get, but our manufacturer is very fast. I will sell as many of those as you guys demand. I do have some V1-V2 M-boards also, so I can offer some old-style full rigs. Note that I am not planning on opening sales for full new rigs just yet - though it may happen. The main intention is to support our V1 & V3 rig customers. New style H-cards (marked V2.2) can ship immediately and are not pre-mined.

I'll turn on sales for USB miners maybe by this weekend, so you can buy them for stocking stuffers

There's also been a fair bit of demand for faulty fix-it-yourself cards. I think I'll find a way to sell those, as I have a few hundred sitting in boxes.

Best,
Dave

What growth rate are you using for that prediction? It is very misleading if you're assuming difficulty will not rise during those 2 months.

I'd expect to see a pretty large bump over Q1 2014. This is when 65/55nm devices will become 'obsolete'.
