Thats the nature of the beast these days and there is nothing we can do about it. ASIC manufacturers can make more money mining than they can selling their equipment...off bitmain topic, but wait for the KNC scrypt miners, KNC will mine with them until the LTC difficulty becomes so high, then offload them onto the customers with little to no hope of ROI...
They didn't do that with the Oct/Nov batches of Jupiters & Saturns. Why do you think they would with the scrypt ones?
They didn't do it then because they needed to build credibility to start the ponzi scheme. Now they have good reputation they can take 25 million in neptune orders and max out the time frame.
Alot of people were bitching so they made a new scheme with scrypt miners. The only catch is no refunds. So for those who dont know that means they can basically hold your money forever.
