They have sold over 5000 A3s if this is their account 1NrMNvxsDwsQ9DA4styegmTue9tPPsV9bg
Someone was saying they sold 6000 to buyers in China already.. Any other users from China confirm this? If so can someone post the wallet address they wanted payment sent to for China customers? China buyer is using same BCH wallet too? I don't know.. Literally just going off what some rando posted a couple pages back. Trying to find out if what they said is legit or not. Guys, i live in china... im sure you know bitmain have one site for china and one for the rest of the world... i dont know how many machines were there for the global site... but there were 6000 for china... and they were sold for 20800 RMB around 3200$...
i got one, they will deliver in china between 4 days, so ill share some pics when i get mine... and show the profits after one week... im ready to plug it in as soon as i get it... hopefully the difficulty will stay at current level for a couple weeks to get my money back... after that if it drops... ill just resell the machine... lol
Its legit... by chinese laws, bitmain can not sell this machine in the mainland by any cryptocurrency, they sell it only in RMB... you can check their chinese website https://shop.bitmain.com/main.htm?lang=zhand also by chinese law they must tell how many machines were available for sale... and in their announcement by Wechat account, they state there was 6000 machines just for mainland china 开售产品 蚂蚁矿机 A3 815G (适用于Blake2b算法币种) 功耗:1275W+7% 暂定价格:20800 RMB 开售时间:1月17日下午2点 本批数量:6000 台 发货时间:确认付款后7个工作日左右发货 备注: 1.现货产品无法修改地址 2.本批机器每个账户限购一台,不能使用优惠券 3.订单付款后需在官网上传付款信息,并把“订单号+付款人+付款金额+付款凭证”发给微信客服 4.付款需在2017年1月17日下午4点到账,逾期未到账订单将被取消 BTW, im not chinese... just been teaching english here for a few years Do you know what else is required to mine on this? Just 1x APW++ power supply? Copy paste from their instuctions : "5. You will need an ATX PSU with at least 10 six-pin PCIe connectors...Bitmain recommends the APW3++ to power the A3. 6. Separate power supply to control board: there is one additional six-pin PCIe connector on the IO board which must be connected to the PSU to get power. This confused me a bit ... still brand new to Asic miners here, this will be my first one. (I'm also in China btw, so also paid that Chinese premium) in case people didn't realize its ~USD 500 more expensive to buy it here in China. Also is there any additional software needed? Or just need a pc to configure wallet ? I'll try to do all my research in the next couple of days so I can start day 1 when the miner arrives

Yeah, but if they get miners in 4 days from order as said they'll make it atleast 3-4x back before rest of the world get their hands on the miners.

China buyer is using same BCH wallet too? What makes you think this is their wallet address? I'm in the US and thats not the address I sent my funds to. I think its pretty obvious they use some service that collects the money. Everyone has to send to a unique address, otherwise how would they know you paid?

I think its pretty obvious they use some service that collects the money. Everyone has to send to a unique address, otherwise how would they know you paid? Someone earlier posted the wallet address. They followed funds from a purchase to that address. I'm assuming they create a wallet for you to send to, you send it, then it all gets sent to single wallet. So if China got 6k payed by RMB, and everyone else used bch, then we are looking at over 10k units in first batch. That is 13x what the current network is, so once first batch gets hooked up and mining, profit is immediately 1/13th of what calculators show. So last night it showed about $500/day....Reality will be $38/day, or $1100 per month assuming no others come online. Lets assume they do another 10k units in a month, now we are at $550/mo....Do it again next month, and we are at $225/mo. So yeah, if they drop another 10k batch in next 30 days, you might get ROI in 3 months, another 10k after that, and.....

The IO Board is probably too far away for the 5th cable to to plug into a hashing board and the IO Board.

If this is even true, and who knows if it is, don't forget that Bitmain also makes other equipment than the A3. The miner came out in the middle of the night in the US, but it was the middle of the day in China. They also release their other miners sporadically, and they sell miners in China that they don't sell to the rest of the world (T9+, G2, ETC) There is no way to gauge how many miners they sold based on how many funds are funneling into that address. And for all we know that is an address of a 3rd party that collects the money and pays Bitman in Yen

And for all we know that is an address of a 3rd party that collects the money and pays Bitman in Yen That makes sense. Good point. Product notifier on telegram started going crazy after midnight. They listed some L3+ at the same time. So I would its possible its would be some of those as well. I do know that when the link was posted last night, that there wasn't a whole lot in there. Think it was about 500units worth the first time I checked. I know that the S9 and others went on sale the day before, so dont think those were part of it. Regardless, as always, time will tell. Address has 13mil in right now, so over 5k units of whatever mix they sold. I'm sure that Bitmain does this when coin is really cheap speculating that it will rise. They could easily 1.5x revenue by holding a little bit after this sale.

LOL, already? It went on sale 7 hours ago! 7 hours is ions now with these new miners. Resellers buy them all up in hopes to make a killing on reselling while making it almost impossible for miners to roi these new releases. It is what it is when you have 1 business in town controlling the asic market
