Topic: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 - page 251. (Read 299754 times)

Agh, I guess i was wrong.  Thanks for letting me know this was the 3rd batch.  I will follow the Twitter like a hawk! Im dissappointed I missed this one... .  There will be more of them tho!

Any idea when Batch #4 is ready?

I think this was the third batch. Anyway, you might want to follow Bitmain twitter account - that's where they announced the time:

It seemed like I missed the boat on this!! 

Any idea when the 3rd Batch will go on sale?

 There have been quite a scam few sites that "spoofed" the real Bitmain site.
 That's not BITMAIN'S fault, and if you got taken that's YOUR fault for not watching the adddress (that hyphen is NOTICEABLE).


 Bitmain themselves have a very good reputation for not shafting folks on orders - the bad part of their rep is about pathetic support on broken miners, and somewhat poor reliability on recent designs.

I rarely receive a confirmation email until they manually mark the order as paid a few days later.

Anyone here that didnt even receive the confirmation email from bitmain on email? I paid in time and I realize that they will shift my order from expired to valid, but its just strange that I didnt receive email

There are a lot of scam sites.  Everyone needs to search here on the forum and ask before ordering with any site.  Only buy from trusted sites and companies.  You will get ripped off if you don't do your homework.

Bitmain's ordering system and web site SUCKS and they will never fix it... It has been this way forever.  And every time there is a new batch release we go through this circus.  

If you ordered from the Bitmain site directly(watch the spelling, there are scam sites with slight variations in spelling that look like the Bitmain site) and you paid within the hour of order you just need to be patient.  I have seen them take several days to sort out the orders and update the status.  Bitmain can be frustrating to work with, but they are trusted here in the community.

i oreder a few d3   around 7am EST , i was not able to pay with bitcoin , i received a unknown error 0 or something like that after i tried to pay with btc , i clicked to pay with LTC , paid right away , 5 minutes later my order was confirmed .

Hey guys ... hopefully this will ease some tensions that are out there.

I submitted my payment 15 minutes after the D3 went on sale, and then the order went expired.  I submitted a ticket to let them know I had made payment and that it had 6 confirmations on my end.  they replied to wait until tomorrow, that it still needed time to confirm.  That was about 3-4 hours after payment was made.  After that email my order was marked valid again, but then an hour later it was expired for the second time.  I decided to let it ride.

After a quick 5 hour power nap  , I woke up to an email saying my order was confirmed, now it is marked valid and paid.

I think the problem is that they're moving every transaction they receive from the payment address to their main bitcoin wallet, and because of so many transactions going to one wallet, it's taking forever.  After 4-5 hours the movement of my payment to their wallet still had 0/6 confirmations, so this is what is causing the delays I believe.  I'm sure they do this in order to protect the funds (overkill precaution in my opinion), which I suppose makes sense when dealing with this many transactions at once.

If you made payment within the allotted time, and your order is expired.  They WILL verify you, it just takes time.  It's hard as hell, I know first hand, but be patient with them. They're honestly doing their best I believe, even though I'm sure we all feel like that could be much better (and it could).

 

THANK YOU. It shows up in my account properly after checking out, so hopefully Bitmain actually honors it. May I ask how you found the hidden product page?

Thanks, just first time sending thousands of dollars to china, lol

I can offer some insight into this. While pricing is definitely a lot higher, Amazon has great consumer protections that make it really easy to return miners within 30-days. Sellers DO have the ability to charge a restocking fee unless they are using Fulfillment By Amazon (Prime). The restocking fees are often set high as a way to discourage scammers. For example, we receive a ton of returns right before the 30-day mark for mining devices. Many unscrupulous customers attempt to "rent" miners and then return them after mining for a month. That is why you rarely see mining devices sold using Prime - sellers using Prime for mining devices are practically begging to get ripped off and is often the sign of an inexperienced seller.

Here's what you should expect if you want to return a mining device on Amazon:

• If there are any delays or problems with the device, you will have no problems getting a full refund and return shipping is usually pre-paid. Planning for power requirements, noise, and heat management is the buyer's responsibility.
• If you are returning a device that is fully functional, then you should expect to pay a restocking fee. The sooner you return the device after receiving it, the less the restocking fee will be. Waiting until day 30 will guarantee that you pay the full restocking fee.

Of course, there are lots of really bad sellers on Amazon too that are either scamming or just incompetent. Pay attention to shipping dates and feedback ratings.

To all those complaining about expired orders - it says in RED and BOLD in every confirmation e-mail:

Your order may expire if Bitmain does not receive payment within one hour. If your payment is submitted on time but receipt is delayed, we will confirm the payment and then update the order to "Valid".

Chill.

same for me guys. i payed BTC and it was confirmed in blockchain before 1 hour. But my order says expired.

If you have not made the payment, please wait for new batch to make new order, thanks.
