gotta let a coin be a coin
Does anyone have any idea how many D3s are going to be released in the past 3 batches? I was doing some calculations on difficulty and hashrate and came up with 1 GH/s adds about 22.5 to difficulty. So, one D3 would add 337.5 at 15 GH/s. I'm trying to see if it would be worth getting some in their next release.

Damn. Sucks indeed that they are killing the wire transfer option.   I can see why though. Too many unpaid orders with wires combined with people trying to scalp accounts.

Anyone know of any exchanges I can buy either bitcoin or litecoin  with a credit card instantly, or a wire transfer (Wells Fargo) that wile clear and post before the next sale?

 I have a Coinbase account and it says it will take over a week to credit my wire. I would  clearly be missing out on this upcoming sale. I am looking for a place that do enough to do 3-4 units

I do have one bitcoin ATM in my city. I haven't used it and I think fees are around 5% in those if I am correct. I guess that could be a worst case scenario.

Good lucky to everyone. Hopefully sales will be open longer than 10 minutes this time since they are canning payment by wire.

I've used coinmama to buy with my credit card. Have had no problems though their exchange rate/fees might be a little high. Cex.io is another option but I haven't used it.

Hey! I've placed an order for the D3 october batch but i'm yet to pay for it. Do you think it will be worth it? I don't have a big budget so it's really important for me.

You can sell the miner for more than you paid for it, also it will ROI.

Hey thanks for responding! I did see on amazon people were reselling it for around $10k. I'd be more than happy if I'm able to sell it at around $1000 after 10-12 months. I'm not looking to make $280 profit/ day as the cryptocompare calculator show's right now. Anything close to $60 per day would do for me. Do you think thats possible when my D3 ships in october?

Bitmain is the source. Same email address as the previous batch in which I got one. Maybe bitmain got tired of the wire transfer delays and unpaid orders (tons of people with multiple accounts ordering and not paying so they can sell the account) so they removed it from the options of a hot selling product.
Yup!! As predicted, those guys brokering the middle on the batch releases ruined it for a lot of people. That's how it goes I guess. I think it's safe to say that humanity has, for the most part, been an abysmal failure of an experiment.

Question: Is this only X11 or is also X14/X15/Qubit possible?

Bitmain says X11 only

Where did they post that? I'm. It seeing it in their twitter feed or forum posts.

Email. Maybe they email previous buyers a couple days earlier.

Do anyone could confirm this claim? If this is true than the "pre-order business" that use wire transfer will gone.
BUT the buyer have to start stock up their btc/ltc to their budget with little extra in case the price go down that make btc/ltc value drop

Yes, confirmed. I received the email. This D3 batch is for November delivery and only BTC or LTC accepted as payment. I wonder what the price will be for November delivery.

Thanks RealKariverson, I would have never known without this thread!

No problem. I already got one and can't get another so it's better for the people here to be prepared. If only btc-e didn't go down, I would have had funds for one more. Sad I'm missing 10LTC

Who posted this information Gigawatt or bitmain ? Because I just checked last batch release and under payments it clearly shows they still accept Bank wires.

4. Bitcoin, Litecoin and USD payment methods are accepted for this batch.

5. For Bitcoin and Litecoin payments, please use the exact amount mentioned in your order and complete the payment within one hour. After one hour, the order will expire and your payment may not be detected by the system automatically. If the payment is submitted but the receipt is delayed, we will make your payment "Valid" manually.

6.USD wire transfers are accepted for this batch. Please note details of Bitmain's new bank account (bank name and account number below) for USD transfers from your order confirmation page. Bitmain will not be responsible for any loss if payment is made in any other currency besides USD or is made to any other bank account, including Bitmain's previous bank account.

Bank Name: Standard Chartered Bank (China) Limited Shenzhen Branch
Account Number: 000000501511168204

especially given they used your video on their official Bitmain twitter !  Grin

Haha, right? I think you're thinking of VoskCoin's video though. Here's the one you're thinking of. I can't wait to do one for the D3 as soon as they arrive!

I wish they were more consistent with their emails. I have purchased every item they've made since the S1 and rarely get emails from them about new products.

When I first ordered the L3+ I made a wire payment in time but they didn't confirm it in time. So they would either bump me to next batch or refund me. I accepted to bump me to next batch.

I made a payment using BTC on August 3rd, but until today my order status still unpaid and expired.
Tried to contact them, they always replied the same answer and not answering my question.
Other people too?

I am in the same boat - waiting for support to reply - have 2 tickets open with them...Paid on time but slow BTC confirmation expired the order so they have my money....

What was their response to you so far?
