Hmmm ... And why is the real Bitmaintech not doing anything against such "reseller" ??

On the other Hand; Someone in Germany is claiming on ebay, that they have S3 IN STOCK and ready to ship ...
How's that possible ??

It's not, and they don't.

Bitmaintech does not directly sell on eBay, or Amazon, or Joe's Miner Shack. Resellers sell on those outlets, and they are constrained by Bitmain's shipping times and dates. No reseller currently has an S3 in stock (well, perhaps some Chinese might have picked up their S3 directly from Bitmain's factory...). If they tell you it's in stock, they're lying.

I bought the S3 over at ebay. The seller was bitmaintech!
Here's the auction. It's over but you still can see it:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/BRAND-NEW-BITMAIN-AntMiner-S3-478Gh-s-Bitcoin-ASIC-Miner-Not-S1-or-S2-/291189221412?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:IE:1123

I payed with PayPal. So I do have buyer protection if he's not shipping. But he is offering me a full refund. So it would go back to my PayPal account. I do have not give him some/more info on my account.

You think, this is not the "real" Bitmaintech selling the S3 ??

Of course NOT...

Are you blind... Huh

...Read the seller profile ...CCV.IO ~ Crypto Currency Venture, Co. Cork, Ireland ~ Approved BITMAIN Reseller ..."

Never saw such "Approved BITMAIN reseller"... Wink

I just received a email from "Bitmain":

BITMAIN has started to ship yesterday. Unfortunately, they have advised me that Batch 1 to 3 are not reaching hashing speed as promised (440 GH/s instead of 478 GH/s). It is very disappointing but I cannot take the risk to validate your order. I can issue you a full refund if you wish OR I can put your order in queue for batch 4. I do not know exactly when batch 4 will start shipping but it's more likely to be the first week of August. Please let me know your choice as soon as possible.
Kindest Regards

I'm kinda mad. He promissed first that my order DO get shippet arround the 20th.

So .... what y'all think Huh

Wait OR refund ??

Thanks

I would make Damn sure that is real, Bitmaintech has not ever offered a FULL REFUND EVER before. If that e-mail asked for your sensitive info I would be wary.

Smells like a scam... Who is "they" and "me" in "... they have advised me ..." Huh

Be very careful ...

Agreed!!! Advise strongly against giving them any info matter of fact I would go on the Bitmaintech site and forward them the email.

Website still says unshipped but tracking info has now been created on UPS for my order Grin

I have a label from the website and ups has a label.

on the website my order time is: Date 2014-06-30 14:17:14
on the website my paid time is: Date 2014-06-30 15:04:42

I am thinking it is 725 pm in china wed.

So I am going to get this on monday not friday.

Frankly I should get a better coupon or a better refund due to the extra delay in my shipping. Many with later paid times will get their gear on thur or fri. Looks like they were given better treatment then I was. I will miss 3 days of mining if I get it monday. 3 days at 2x 440 or 880gh is 3x .0255 = .0765 btc

so frankly if it comes on monday i would feel cheated. now I realize they promised 7- 20- 2014 shipping and they made a label on

7-16-2014. but i was paid in the first 1 hr and 5 minutes.

Well I am sure they won't contact me with we are sorry have 3 coupons not 2 coupons. That is the nature of btc orders you take what you get. as long as they work and hash at 440 each at default I wll be okay with it.

440 is fairly close to 478 verses waiting another month and 4 difficulty levels....

Note to self:

"Only order products that are in stock and shipping immediately."

When the original announcement was made on 6/18, that they would begin taking orders in 3 days, I sold 75% of my rigs. I've pretty much lost out on a month of mining. Won't do that again!!!

My mistake, not Bitmain...

Has anyone received the rebate that signed up for it?

So, has anybody actually gotten their hands on one yet?
Now wishing I hadn't waited... Oh well...
But, hopefully it won't be too long until their 'in stock.'

no info on the website (i dont have a ups account) about shipping yet, and i ordered 4 units in the first 10 minutes.

I trust bitmain is working hard to ship, just hoping my units come in on friday

Did you try the "track by reference" trick on the UPS site?

My S3s are to be delivered by end of day tomorrow, they shipped on the 15th. Bitmain finally updated the website and my order shows as shipped there as well.

EDIT: My order was placed 14:01:44 on 6/30.
