Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It
The sales price of chips stay a relatively high margin because our option of building our own devices and sell/deploy is always wide open.
Basing your assumptions on a rumor from a competing company's CEO who has been wrong countless times and almost never right is simply idiotic.
FC has outright denied the rumors started by Guy that AM is selling at cost and FC's word can be taken at face value unlike Guys.
Guy has never been a reliable source and he has proven he will say anything that could garner a few more preorders.
Then it's a matter of who we trust. You trust FC. I trust Guy.
It's really not even about who you trust more. It just doesn't make any sense to imagine that the Spongebobtech CEO knows more about Asicminer than Asicminers own CEO. Does Guy also know what color underwear I'm wearing?
Why would so many competitors give Guy all this sensitive info? And what kind of NDA prevents him from disclosing the source, yet allows him to disclose all the info?

Care to elaborate the countless times when he was wrong? And don't give me the SP30 specs.
Just to list a few:
I have a second batch order.... Your opinion... Have I to request a refund ? 
Taped Out in March: https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-78
TSMC 20nm cycle time (masks creation) is 4-5 months. Samples in July / August. Miners probably in August / September
So let's try this - with a purchase today, an "In Stock" SP10 will ship when? To keep it simple assume 1 SP10+SP30 April/July bundle.
Mid April and beginning of July.We don't stock. We build test and ship.
Could be bitfury, asicminer, avalon, bitmain, innosilicon, knc, blackarrow or maybe a company that has yet to reveal itself.
Hello my friend, I've missed you. Is is too boring at one of AM threads ?
None of those companies can match the price point of SP30 with current gen and Q3 planned hardware.
Not to mention the W/GH/s advantage.
