Interesting viewpoint. However, the Sia folks said they could deliver as early as Feb / March depending on orders. Also, GPUs are basically impossible to find or overpriced at this point. Those in the first batch will also get 6 weeks of competition free mining (minus the GPU guys already out there). The firm they selected to produce the ASICs has experience. Based on all this, you don't think it's worth trying 1 or 2 of the ASICs?
I dont. They said they COULD* deliver... IF* they get enough orders. Who is to say when enough is enough? Investors would still be left in the dark. We can see how many units have been purchased or what the hard line number of units for quick delivery would be. I am just not one to pre-order anything without some sort of proof of development. If they released a little additional technical information about the miners... maybe I would reconsider but doubtful.
Thanks for taking a look! Just sharing my thoughts haha
