Tim is ok I suppose, he is just complaining about over pricing trend.

I'm not a fan of ASICs but I remember Avalon from days when I was looking for an alternative to Bitmain and became so disappointed, I'm sure they have not changed and won't change ever. So, Idk, but how is it possible to buy a miner from a failed brand, with half of the hash power of a s9 and almost the same power consumption , without psu without controller board (!) for a price comparable to s9?

No, I don't think Tim is the one who needs a bit help Tongue

Your first comment "not a fan of ASICs" is likely why you don't understand. For the small miners, you won't have 10 spare S9 hash boards lying around to swap out as boards fail. I'd take the 25-35% lower hashrate to never have to ship back units for repairs. As BTC prices rise, the extra hash rate gets washed away as well.
