For those of you that bought the April batch, have you received word from Bitmain of a shipping delay due to "firmware problems"?
People on the Litecoin subreddit are claiming that they've seen such a delay notice, and that it's a plot by Jihan Wu to use the hash power from machines that you bought to attack Litecoin with the goal of delaying or preventing SegWit.
Before jumping to conclusions I just want to know if Bitmain has in fact communicated a shipping delay to people who bought the April batch.
so he says on his tweet account on re edit and reposted by charlie lee on his twitter feed

https://twitter.com/jihanwu?lang=enso he is using pre-orders to mine april batch to stop seg witness
so probably imho april folk will get offered refunds if they want...but the may 5th batch (me of course) likely will just see the network hash go up 150% by then (if we are
lucky imho) and then bitmain having say a solid 48% of the LTC network ..if they don't decide to 51% attack it and/or with 70% of all the pow scrypt LTC etc miners
out there..and only ones making such .they can pretty much now do as they please
also I see now cloudflare comes up on their sales page...so they've implimented that for the expected (deserved) DDOS attacks they are getting so they can still
sell miners
this imho was planned well in advance....not to mention the money they have made on the LTC market from knowing this was coming
so essentially, we now know (again in my view) why the april batch was small...needed just so many to kill seg witness ..as to may and july pre -orders
no refunds sucker...so you can just eat the difficulty rise slam'd into 1-2 months vs the 7-8 months expected if seg witness would have come thru
I mean sh*t they have 70% of the market it was not like they were not gonna make bucko $$$$
imho....they ARE using asic boost...thus if seg witness came thru they would lose 33% of their mining speed/eff (if they can only run it from their end on their pool
as folk have stated also...nice little secret that)
anyway thus went full evil mode...because that can't happen...as to UASF (user activated soft fork) as a way to get seg witness...that does NOT i've read
on bitcointalk...mess up asic boost..thus they keep their 33% edge
man win/win/win/win all the way around ..full evil mode works...its 2014 again and knc neptune games (same deal mined them months before shipping to cutomers
the 3rd batch they paid for)
silly me...I thought the ecosystem of crypto had evolved somewhat
oh well got 4 bitmain L3+'s May 5th ones coming....and I guess my knc titans are going to get to their desired doorstop status sooner
nothing I was not expecting a month ago.....at 4.15 ltc..talk about 'dashed hopes'
