I'm starting to lose some trust in Friedcat, not because of the lack of shareholder info though. I noticed a mistake in the Round 2 pricing and he basically just brushed it off as there not being any mistake at all.
Round 2 Sales
Full 10-devices set including:
40 Hashing Units
40 Thermal Pads (optional, on demand)
3 Ethernet Controllers (1 for redundancy. One controller can in principle drive as many as 8 full devices)
10 Cooling Kits
10 Fans
Free Assembling
7.9 BTC/set
Hashing Unit: 0.160 BTC/piece for <400 pieces
MOQ at 40 pieces. (Each unit hashes at 200-215GH/s in typical clock)
Thermal Pad: 0.007 BTC/piece. MOQ at 40 pieces.
Ethernet Controller: 0.069 BTC/piece. MOQ at 2 pieces.
Cooling Kit: 0.069 BTC/set. MOQ at 10 sets.
Fan: 0.014 BTC/piece. MOQ at 10 pieces.
If you do the maths, you'll see that the total actually comes to 7.717 BTC not 7.9 BTC. I pointed this out to FC who said that the 7.9 BTC price includes assembly. The post clearly states "Free assembling" and FC has made numerous posts about preferring to ship unassembled. It just makes no sense whatsoever. I've also pointed that out to him but haven't heard back from him yet and the post hasn't been corrected.
I'm surprised no potential buyers have pointed this out in the sales thread yet.
Let's not forget that English isn't friedcat's native language. He may not have understood what you were trying to say. Plus, he's hopefully swamped trying to fill orders and doesn't have time to edit posts that no one else is complaining about. But, I agree that it would be better to just include an assembly fee for those that prefer to have the hardware shipped to them pre-assembled and his cost breakdown should look something more like this:
