Re: ANTMINER S4 2TH/s, Batch 1 on Sale this week, shipping before Sept. Ends
They have to announce the specs and price sometime this weekend right. I mean if they plan to ship by the end of the month they need to get on it and start taking orders. Can't wait to see what they came up with!!!
Well according to an idiot on here, they cant sell it at loss, so that means.... they will never launch the S4 .
You know just like how a guy bought btc at high and wont sell low ....
It doesn't necessarily mean they would sell at a loss. They'd just price it higher than most people can justify. And they'll just mine for themselves if people don't want to buy.
Most (all?) ASIC manufacturers simply don't care if the public wants their product or not. It's a no-lose situation for them and a no-win situation for us.
Are you retarded?
What if the "just price it higher than most people can justify" mean a loss?
The fact that you think its a no lose situation shows you're dumber than you sound.
Say that to thousands of bankruptcy companies, "dont worry yo.... just produce who gives a shit about demand."
Wtf?! Don't be such an asshole, asshole!
If you had any reading comprehension skills maybe you would understand what I was saying. Here, let me try again...
Bitmain would NEVER sell S4s at a loss because... wait for it...they don't have too.
If they price the S4 so they make a healthy profit on each unit but it's too expensive for home miners, they won't sell many at retail. But they'll just mine with them or add them to Hashnest.
And remember, their costs to mine with their own equipment is much lower than home miners who pay retail and don't have access to cheap power. They will be able to run them for a very long time before they become unprofitable.
