Even their official FAQ states that you won't be able to mine at a profit with their product:
"Can you make a profit with the 21 Bitcoin Computer after accounting for energy costs?
Yes, you can indeed make a profit with the 21 Bitcoin Computer. However, you would do so not by directly selling bitcoin, but by selling digital goods for bitcoin. That is, you are not going to get rich by immediately selling the bitcoin mined by the device for offline currency, but you can potentially do very well by selling digital goods and services to others for their bitcoin."

- zyxley 11y agoSo, "yes, you can make a profit, but only if it has nothing to do with the 21 Bitcoin Computer".
- VikingCoder 11y agoYes, you can make a profit - if you agree to kill someone with the 21 Bitcoin Computer as the murder weapon.

- Loughla 11y agoGod, how is that marketing? Honestly, how is that just seen as 'marketing'? How did they justify even writing that sentence with a clear conscience? This is just infuriating. This is just taking advantage of stupid/impatient people who will order to get rich quick, and not read anything about what they're doing. It's taking advantage of people, knowing full well they don't understand what you're marketing to them. Seriously, think about the uproar if this were medicine; buy this pill to cure your cancer.* *Pill doesn't actually cure cancer, but somewhere a doctor is able to help you with that.
