Well...I have 4 L3+'s on order. But the May 5th you speak of. Unless they send the damn things, it don't matter much.

Has ANYONE on here actually gotten an April 15th unit, or at least an email that they are 'thinking' about it?

My fear, is with seg witness in the bag for LTC..that LTC will spike to 20/30 bucks and bitmain will find it's firmware issue is

still not up to snuff. (naw, they would not do that ...sh*t in a heartbeat)

just love the hostage drama of crypto mnfg's pulling this stunt in the last 3-4 years

BFL

Knc

Alpha Tech

Prsopero

etc

Silly me, I'd thought crypto had 'evolved' beyond such stunts....duh, was I wrong!

The only 2 ASICs Ive ever bought and come out ahead were the original Block Eruptor USB Sticks (I bought and then resold rather than actually mined with them) and a KNC titan I bought used which is still mining and has paid for itself (Both in USD and LTC). Every other ASIC has either been a scam or delayed or not up to specs, etc. My titan was the most recent and before that I really had to convince myself to buy it. Im done with ASICs until there is some competition to a) bring down prices b) bring up quality and c) stop these stupid stunts.

I really would like to diversify my mining some, ie some SHA256, some scrypt, x11, GPU coins, etc but its just not worth the hassle and risk to deal with shady ASIC companies....

Somethings never change I guess. :/ unfortunate.

Don't worry, be happy!

Im confident Bitmain will ship my may order on time! 😄

lol u keep being positive. what i can tell you for sure is my order was supposed to be shipped on the 15th of april and i have 0 to show for my $7300 plus shipping. that and my miners are being used against the network and no official announcement has been sent to me telling me of any delays caused by firmware. i shouldnt have to ask them for an update....its their responsibility to tell me what is going on and they havent. i hope your miners come on time i really do but just remember the april 15th orders will go out before yours because they were made before yours so your probably going to see delays with your order as well.

either way bitmain got back to me and we r sorting through a resolution now. i finally got a real response not a cut and paste response so thats a step in the right direction.

Man stop crying, they offer you full refund so take it. Dont talk about free electricity dumbshit, because that is stealing/cheating in every country of the world. Also if u are experienced buyer of Bitmain products, you should know that they late with their shipments all the time.
If you want to sell your preordered miner I will pay you full refund + your "electricity" costs about 700 usd you asked, but we need to manage this with Bitmain. But I suppose you will not accept this agreement, because you know how much money you can get with miners. I ordered miners for for 5th May and I already calculated that I will get them 2-3 weeks later. Greedy is your problem mate, anyway you have choice to get your money back.

The only thing im 100% sure of is u dont know what ur talkin about. Bitmain has never shipped my miners late...never. Is that clear enough for u to understand?? N.E.V.E.R! If you read the posts prior to this one you would already know my miners have always come on time.

As for free electricity...its not cheating. What u think im refering to some landlord that im renting a house from?? Be serious dude! There isnt a house in my entire state that can handle the power draw im pullin that i have seen so again dont speak unless you know what your talking about. I pay for the space i use and that is it. I get 2 dedicated locations both with roof top ac units. Im sorry you do not have the same setup but because your unable to get that doesnt mean others cant. Its not greedy to want the miners to ship on the date advertised. Every day counts. One day lost is money out of my pocket. Every miner know that....except for u...the guy that is willing to accept delays based on lies...

Offering me money for my stuff is also ignorant...of course imma use them instead of sellin them to someone because i paid for them. If u want to break even everytime you send a company money for something considered an investment your welcome to do so but i cant justify that kind of stuff. I never said i wouldnt use the miners and i never said i didnt want them. Being annoyed at a fake delay and running the miners after they arrive are 2 completely separate subject and one shouldnt be used to decide the other.

By the way my l3+'s will be delivered in the next few days. I will tell people if the fans r really loud or if they are reasonable.

Thanks for letting us know when yours arrive. It will give us May 5th folk some hope. Especially
if this above $13 LTC price holds.

Ya i kinda got a bit happy when i checked the prices this morning lol.

Looks like the first batch is getting delivered then.....scared to see what happens to the hashrate in the coming week or so.

[Longsnowsm]

Well I have been off grid for a week, I come back and pop in to see what is going on.  Always the drama in crypto!  So NOW I see Bitmain has the ship dates of 15-25 July and the price has now jumped up to $1644 per unit!  Holy smokes... Talk about a gamble... they are selling further into the future and at an even higher price!

Price rise because he knows that by signaling it should raise the price of LTC therefore know that people will order.  Im out though no pre 1orders for me......been down that road too many times usually left with a pile of garbage.

What are they up to with the price increase? Do they have a crystal ball that sees the future and know that LTC is heading north of $20 so they increased their miner price?

All pools agreed to activate segwit even Satan Jihan and his evil minnions.

Well that is too bad about Segwit.  I guess we will get a lot more drama then.  Never boring around crypto I guess.  The banker class will own cryptos if we allow the transactions to be sucked off the network.  I guess we will see soon enough as the games begin.  It is brilliant really pushing Segwit out there to the public and letting us think it was our idea, and then when that wasn't enough they had to create an "enemy" who must be fought by signaling Segwit.  I swear we are just sheep... 

The price increase for the L3+ makes no sense.  With Segwit there will be less profit to the miners period.  Couple that with increase in hash rate and diff...  I am curious how sites like What To Mine will calculate profitability with transactions getting sucked off the network.

On the L3 hardware nightmare issues.  I have parts coming back from China this week.  And just as I get back home another L3 has now decided to die.  This one appears to be the controller from what I can see so far.  The miner fault light is coming on and has to be reset to get the miner back online.  It has now been reset a couple of times and looks like it is not coming back this time.  I don't see it dropping boards or anything so just as I am about to get parts back to get a miner online another one is down.  This has now reached the point of being ridiculous.

The price increase on the L3+ is purely based upon increased demand expected from LTC gains IMO. Note: LTC over $16.00 today and Segwit still not locked in.

What I see here is the beginning of the Silver Rush period.

[wheelz1200]

Has anyone recieved any of the april 15th deliveries yet?

[FlensGold]

Has anyone recieved any of the april 15th deliveries yet?

Not even a shipping notice and now concrete answer to my request to support. I hope they will reply soon incl. shipping information + partial refund because I paid almost 500USD more to have the miner 3 weeks before the May batch.

[Longsnowsm]

I think I have confirmed the latest hardware casualty is another controller/IO board.  Tests with a single hash board across all of the boards, and then tests with 0 boards connected to the controller all result in a fault light after reset.  So looks like I will get one controller back this week, and hopefully it will be working.  I will swap it with the newly "dead" controller, if that works then I will be arranging to send yet another board back to Eastshore. 

At this point I wish it was bad hash boards.  With a bad hash board I can remove it and limp along with the remaining boards, but when the controller goes down you don't have any options.  I pray the L3+ are better machines than the L3's.  This is just insane.

I saw on ebay someone already received and is selling an antminer l3+ on hand as an auction. It's weird how others are reporting they haven't received it yet.

Bitmain seems to be having quality control issues with their hardware. I sent back two R4's that died. They didn't have any more R4's to send back as a replacement so I got as a replacement a T9. One loud MOFO. No more Bitmain gear for me unitl they fix their quality control problems.  I have a bunch of alt coin rigs going with Sapphire cards. No return of any of the cards and they have been going 24/7 for over a year.

That would be like no Bitmain gear forever. They will never fix these. As plp still buying their shit crap.

What have you been mining for the past year on your GPUS? Ethereum should should have made plenty of returns since then.
