I've put in an email on my bookmarked Bitmain link. I asked if they would sell me some miners for USD bank transfer. I'll let you know what they say. Also, those emails you have sound like them, those are the questions they always ask me.

Hi, 1. besides bitcoins, we also accept USD wires.please feedback to us for remittance info when you decide to place order. 2. ATX PSU is OK, there are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input, but it only needs to connect two of them(total 30.5A) if without overclocking. FYI http://www.enermaxusa.com/psu_revolution87+.php 3. Have you ever bought S3 from us before? do you have any coupon? 4. how many S3 do you plan to buy? we may request some discount if quantity is large.
Best Regards
BITMAIN

I double checked the email and there is zero inconsistencies. Well,thats nice.I suppose,I just have to wait some more.maybe they dont answer in the weekends...Thanks for the help,everybody. What concerns me: 1) The email headers at the start of the chain are nothing like the headers I have from confirmed email from bitmaintech when they send the shipment notice, which includes the order number, the address where btc payment had been sent, etc. In other words a scammer wouldn't know the details the email contains, and the tracking number matches the package I actually received when the S3's / S1's were delivered, so there's no doubt the email headers I used as a reference were legitimate. The starting header information in confirmed emails does not match the starting information cited above. 2) The abv.bg domain is in Bulgaria. 3) This: " JavaMail.apache@mail31.abv.bg" and "Received: by 10.194.170.8 with HTTP" lead me to believe the email was actually sent from a spoofed address in a java script run by an html based client (web mail) and picked up by google mail then sent on through the rest of the email delivery systems at google and to the final destination. 4) This matches the confirmed email but could be due to the email already being in google's mail servers: "X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20130820;" 5) Your email header is missing the initial contact with an email server on the Internet: "Received: from bitmain01 ([119.9.72.212]) by mx.google.com...". I hope you've not been scammed like I was. I have repeatedly reported to facebook the following is a scam, yet facebook still allows their page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bitmaintechcom/1445280845724880 ... and from some of the comments there I see they are still scamming people. Facebook should be held liable as they keep allowing and in effect supporting the fraud. Yes,the abv.bg is bulgarian.I am from Bulgaria,but I dont live there now.I have been using this email for over 15 years.Do you guys know any safe email,that I can write to bitmain?Thanks

well, other SHA-256 coins arent that stable... its too risky to mine other coins, while you can profit more than when you mine btc or you can loss more than 50% of your estimated profit I think the question here is, if it makes sense to mine an altcoin with a S3 once it's not profitable to mine BTC any more.

I wanted to know how you guys maximise your profitability.Either by mining only bitcoins or mix of other SHA-256 coins with it.As by different calculaters the average revenue per antminer s3 is $6 and considering the increase in difficulty how will one get ROI on it?

For long term its Darkcoin (not SHA256), but it's not profitable always.Lifespan of altcoins very short. One need to mine new potentially promising coins and sell quickly as staying longer is big risk.Due to recent scams altcoins are suffering badly.

(chicken?) or keeping my knc unit popping along after say next month (as a comparison so to speak on slush my current 567.4gh Jupiter is getting 0.013 btc per day at 93% luck more or less just so you guys can make a rough comparison kinda/sorta) thanks will go back to lurking after antminer toys...*hard to man up and get 2* don't ya know..funny how I was a heck of a lot braver with BTC at 1K usd huh?
