I've seen a few others mention that their A3s have already shipped. It seems like Bitmain is the only company that announces a product and actually ships it right away. Everyone else seems to always have a 6-12 month pre-order cycle.

Got another updated email with FedEx tracking showing a delivery of the A3 on Tuesday so impressed with the fast shipping from Bitmain

Antpool will be adding Sia in coming days and for wallet I'll probably just use Bittrex for now

Are you in the US? I read that it is better to use UPS for bitmain since they handle customs well? And fedex doesn't? Is that true?

Did you provide SSN/Tax id on your bitmain account?

I'm in the US and Ive tried both FedEx and UPS from Bitmain, I like FedEx better, UPS will charge you import tax fees when delivered where as FedEx will bill your CC on file. They both might hold it for awhile if its your first import but one miner is pretty small dollar amount. Just watch tracking if it gets held up in receiving center you may need to call the international shipping 800 number.

Yes I list SSN number with Bitmain but each Shipping Carrier has their own import forms that need to be filled out, not sure of dollar amount where that kicks in but probably around 10k, once you do that they will remember the next time they come thru.

Bitmain is not always quick to update email shipping notice, they might not update till package almost delivered, you can also log into website and check shipping status.

But you will need someone to be there to sign for or make some kind of arrangement as they won't just leave it without signature.

I guess, it is shipped, but tracking details not updated. My friends also ordered, and shipment is confirmed for them as well.

which SIA Pool and exchange will you use?

I will switch between nicehash and another pool that will pay out siacoin. I'll cash out on nicehash and hord coins from a sia pool. Just a little concerned about issues sia wallet have.

Also I was interested in sia a week or 2 back and was going to GPU mine it so I downloaded the wallet. It took all day to sync. Then A3 announcement just a few days later and I opened sia app again and it took several hours again to sync. That's not a great infrastructure.

not to burst anyones bubble but...

WHAT WILL THE ANTMINER A3 REALLY PRODUCE?
In short, if Bitmain does produce 100,000 Antminer A3s, each Antminer A3 would mine 1 / 100,000 of the daily block reward. As 100,000 Antminer A3s would yield a new global Siacoin hash rate of 815 PH/s, or 815,000 TH/s – about 1600x the current hash rate – it makes the entire current hash rate effectively negligible. Therefore, using some quick, back-of-the-envelope math:

The current daily block reward is ~$159,000 worth of Sia coin (just set your hashrate = global hashrate on any linear calculator of your choice). Given the above, this implies that if Bitmain sells 100,000 Antminer A3s, each one will net $1.59 per day. 50,000 units sold would yield $3.18 per day. 10,000 units would yield $15.90 per day, which puts it in line with Bitcoin and Litecoin’s recent daily profitability.

Unless of course, the price of Siacoin dramatically appreciates…

100k units in 2 days? even bitmain cant produce that much gear
i think its established that that batch was. no more than 8 to 20k units
