The manufacturer's have all the cards in their hands. They're the ones with 0% risk and making all the money. All we are doing is sweating over over priced hardware picking up scraps up bitcoin hoping to even break even. I've learned buying mining hardware (unless you go enterprise) is a waste of resources these days. While we all massively grow our carbon footprint into the sky why not we all take a strike on buying hardware and force manufacture's to lower prices? If we actually all worked together and could do something like that we would happy mining people.
