A slightly OT example: For those following along at home who don't get why HF batch 1 customers are so unhappy about their "october" batch 1 units, compare: Instead of paying 55 BTC months ago for a 400GH HF batch 1 unit with uncertain delivery they could have sat comfortably on their coin and today ordered 3.1 TH/s of
antminer for
immediate delivery for the
same price (or just got 360GH/s for 6.3 BTC). Even figuring it in terms of USD, the little antminer devices are lower cost per GH/s than hashfast batch 1 devices which are still not shipping.
*sigh....
Yes I wish I had an early KnC order and a Batch1 Avalon. But I didn't. I had a batch 2/3 and same thing happened to that Batch 3. Still pissed. At least I didn't have BFL.
In bitcoin mining one in the hand beats two in the bush any day... Pre-orders are simply fail, even KnC would have been fail if BTC hadn't appreciated....
