I dont have BCH to make payment, i like to see wire transfers. Why they insist bitcoin cash?
They've been doing that for months now. I'm not going into the pros/cons of bitcoin cash, but most miners didn't like what Blockstream was doing to Bitcoin Core. Bitmain was very vocal about their discontent for the direction Bitcoin Core was headed in with Blockstream and decided to champion Bitcoin Cash. Regardless of how you may feel about Bitcoin Cash, it's a fact that there are currently less ways to acquire it than Bitcoin since not every exchange trades it yet. As a way to drive demand, Bitmain is wielding a giant carrot over Bitcoin Cash in the form of making it the only accepted payment method for their products. Personally, I've found that it isn't a limiting factor and enjoy the low fees and instant confirmation times. I admit that I miss wire transfers being an option, however.
I will second CryptoCrane here. I hate how they are going about this with their BCH agenda but it is working. there is a reason that BCH is still alive and it is because of its low fees and fast speeds. Couple that with Coinbase's acceptance and Bitmains adoption and it seems to be working out well for them.

Hi guys,
I don't think it's the same chipset like D3
A3: BM1720 D3: BM1760

They're different because the D3 are x11 and the A3 are Blake 2b. The similarities are the fact that the blake 2b difficulty is about to skyrocket. I'm sure Bitmain has been "testing" these for a while now on Siacoin, either that or they are going to test them for 10 days so keep an eye on it. At least they are limiting these to 1 per customer. I'm happy with the 2 that I was able to get my hands on.

The first batch was extremely profitable but they flooded the market with them. I was able to get my hands on 2 of the A3's so far. They limited me to only 1 but my buddy got one and I'm paying for it. Hopefully they follow the 10 day timeframe, they've always been good about shipping fast on all of the orders I've ever placed. Either way they're still on sale now, get them while you can! lol first batch are usually the most profitable and then the best to flip.

Well that was quick. Sold out in 7.5 minutes.
did you get one?
I snagged one

Anyone want to take a guess as to how long before they announce a delay in shipment while we watch the difficulty go sky high while they mine on the customer machines and make all the coin before anyone can reach ROI in this lifetime?
I'm hoping they have some other miners in the works and they are using this release to build their reputation. Fingers crossed
We can always dream but....I am not getting my hopes up.

No I didn't get one. Anyone know how many they sold? I am curious to know so I can calculate the upcoming difficulty jump.
Nobody knows how many. Anyone know how long the D3 was in stock before it sold out? This one was only a few minutes
January 17, 2018, 01:40:59 AM
Got one. How strict is that 1 hour payment? Waiting for my BCH to arrive from bittrex.
