I have found this at Eastshore.xyz : Shipping starts on 24th April. Is this a real date of a new batch or just a random date? I don't know, now if to wait for L3 / buy GPU rigs / or wait for pinidea/baikal
Bitmain has pulled all the L3's back. I am on the same eastshore batch and paid and eastshore was told shipping of
all L3's canceled and wait undetermined time for the L3 plus only.
Bitmain seems to have yanked them all back to mine with. Literally off the truck. Eastshore is beyond
pissed. I'd also assume a delay of 3 months on L3+ so Bitmain can mine like hell and them.
Price of an L3 I'll claim now will double. Anyway I'm getting refunded on the batch in question
Well I got 4 L3's but damn 8 would have been bliss
Are they pulling them from the market in order to fix them properly or is there a darker purpose at work here?
According to folk at Eastshore ...darker..yanked all their orders for this April 27th batch with no news on any more being made...L3's that is....the scuttlebutt is
all got yanked to go into the Bitmain data halls rather then ship...made more sense to keep them at double scrypt prices and refund folk/distributors/warehouse vendors (like eastshore)
then to sell them to the world. Makes a hell of a lot of sense ..if there are NOT a lot of L3+ they can fill the bitmain data halls with the last of the L3's ..for the next 3 to 4 months
until you can peel off your next big orders of L3+'s to yourself (bitmain) and thus NOW to grab
what you could back on L3's and cancel any future L3's and push your L3+ product (probably 3x the $$ amount) that is down roadand just mine like..hell till you can be first in
line to put the L3+ in your data hall before everyone else and maybe,just maybe sell some at inflated prices
IF the price of scrypt doubles again .you just keep them
rinse/wash/repeat......evil corp 101......the new way to cut/corners and make money...MUG all your customers no matter WHAT the size.....
I suspect this is because they have sat on their hands (bitmain) due to the $4.12 LTC of 2 weeks ago and while they MAY have the chips masked in play for the L3+ they
may not be really 'up to speed yet' on the parts to make such..thus Bitmain imho saw a drought of miners ..due to their own delay on the L3+ and took them ALL BACK
Eastshore was 'beyond pissed' ..I mean the L3's were not moving at all a month ago...this April 24th batch order may have been in play for 2 months ...folk accumulating
waiting for them to hit the world...damn....big time whale evil corp action indeed...even slaying other distributor whales...a frigging bar brawl indeed.
anyway most of above is speculation on my part ..but it is universal everyone I talked to ..that unless your order was PHYSICALLY ON THE TRUCK ALREADY
it was 'pulled' and refunded by bitmain...and again this is the huge guys like eastshore as well.....not just us little guys...all the way up the food chain.
So again imho, the bright side because MAYBE Bitmain sat on their hands on getting the L3 parts ordered (besides chips) and out the door we could have a 3 month
lag of not as much difficulty..and mine well for a bit till this next wave of orders flow in from bitmain L3+ or whoever else ramps up scrypt pow equip sales
Butterfly labs did this...KNC completely jerked its 3rd batch of Jupiters and kept them for themselves....and their next miner was 1/3 more money
The further (my speculation again) likelyhood imho is a 505mh 800w L3+ (essentially 2 L3's in the same case) will also be 1/3 more if the price of the now imho forever gone
L3's and if LTC stays above $10 bucks
Asic companies are 'evil' it is what they do.....well played, well played indeed
But poor eastshore hard to sell the bitmain product in high volume and such with support when the company you get the equip from is your own competitor and yanks
the units out of your 'already paid and told it is shipping' que and takes them back..yeah....really....bet if there are drone pictures over the bitmain shipping area....on
Friday 3/31/17 they were loading the trucks and after the weekend on Monda 4/3/17..they were taking all the units back up...it seems that this is NOW the kinda
world we live in
Watching Bitmain's LTC pool will tell you much (assuming their mining is open to see such and not hidden) if my above speculation has any merit..from the info I've
gotten etc
Anyway it is a 'frigging' miracle I got the FOUR Bitmain 250mh L3's that I did ..with my once in my life ball up post on bitcointalk thread.. at the early am on April 1st 2017 (April Fools Day) that I was in for FOUR L3's because I was taking a stand...that the price point of $6 LTC was the floor...(scary post at the time ...saying it was not a pump/dump). The last
time I did that was chucking out $7,131.80 on a KNC 550gh Jupiter BTC miner via paypal and credit card option and the ONLY info on the site was a 'drawing' of the supposed
knc Juptier unit!!!!
Well 'I man'd up and it paid off' ..and increased my hash from 3000 mh to 4000 mh...but damn...those extra 4 Bitmain L3's I supposedly was secure in ordering on the way..damn it (grrrrr)
...well better to know now I guess ....this will happen with other asic makers in the future I'm sure if our dream of high $$$ for crypto pans out in the future..at least on such
pumps of such in crypto .....
anyway ..been a damn wild week
(on the other hand I just got $10,200 bucks back incl/product and hosting deal) ....not like I'm on a streetcorner begging for asics (yet)
But wow....it was not just the little guy this time...EVERYONE from what I can tell down the line from Bitmain...all got the same 'wake up call' and 'er..we're taking it all back
...here is your refund...don't let the screen door hit you on the ass on the way out....
