few independent people in chengdu and shenzen are confirming that they are clearing there D3 batch 1 week after there previous sale because they will start taking pre-orders of D3+ soon similar chips as innosilicon
Edit: thats why the batch is crypto only, the 30ghs D3+ batch will be priced at $2199.00 come september (not sure if people in slack speculating or real sources)

Sounds like a lot of speculation to me. The reason they're not taking bank transfers is they had so many people buy them, then try to sell them on ebay at jacked up prices but never send the payment so the orders expired. To avoid that, they went pure crypto to force payment immediately. I doubt they're going to release a new miner that quickly after selling a new product that hasn't even shipped the first batch yet.
Look at the history of L3 and L3+ they released it back to back in 6 months because they were forced to by A4 dominators
they are in similar situation right now... innosilion and ibelink are kicking there butt (not on price point offcourse) and so is baikal
Bitmain needs to play catchup hence they are pushing all the low end units at discounted prices... after they mine the crap out of them in there data centers.
Rotate d3's out and D3+ in to restart the cycle.
Edit: same sources that are talking about D3+ to there credit they leaked L3+ as well as the upcoming D3 (3 weeks before bitmains announcement ) so I may give there rumors/speculation little bit more credence.
With double speed coming in next bacth, dont know how the diff will soar and IS still rational to buy D3?
