That's a good point

Hey guys... but if the NeptuneS are made of 5 boxes, how would this fit with the mini-neptunes?? 5/2... so, they'll split one chip with hello-kitty paper-scissors or new designs will reach the foundry soon...!?

About the infamous "hash while we trap you"... could someone please confirm that, to NOT LOOSE the bonus machines, I have to SIMPLY IGNORE the "Plan B" email and its link... or maybe I've to explicitly follow the link and "make a choice" like I WANT TO KEEP MY BONUSES, AS IT SHOULD BE...?

Thank you so much in advance!

Cheers!

That's interesting...I'd venture a guess they'll send Mini's with 3 chips, Which does the following:

Mini Neptune @ $3500 - 3 chips - $1166/chip
Neptune Batch 3 @ $6000 - 5 chips - $1200/chip

So much for bulk discounts.

Batch 1 customers have paid nearly 2400 per chip, with closer to 1200 per chip with the two for one.
Batch 2 customers have paid nearly 2000 or more per chip, but with two for one, that drops to a more palatable 1000 per chip.

It pays to be second?!

...and 2x Mini(upgradeable)Neptunes would be FAR BETTER than 1x Neptune 3rd batch in that case (3 chips per mini)... in addition, the "Mini" would hash @2-2.5 and that wouldn't absolutely be comparable with an "entire" Neptune at its price difference expecially...
