I guess its time to buy some dash. When hashrate increases exponential its always better to buy the coin instead of mining it Cheesy

you could still pre order on itopshop for oct batch.

Anyone use these guys before? They appear to only be accepting bitcoin and wire transfer - which is not necessarily suspicious, but I have trouble trusting anyone these days  Undecided.

I've ordered a case from them and it came. I can't speak for a miner though.

So I have opened an order twice by mistake, it still is available to pay but it says

Unpaid
Unshipped
Expired

will it be okay if I pay this order? Anyone had this situation? Thanks.

actually I ordered a d3 + powersupply yesterday. Did the exact BTC amount payment within an half an hour (I have screenshots of proof that it was paid in time) and now my order is showing the same status as yours. I made a ticket of course so let you know how it goes... Very annoying at least + 24 hours ago I made a ticket but still got no reply.
Is it better to call them by phone or...?  Huh
Only if you speak Chinese.

Ok then I got something to learn to this weekend Wink
But this is a bit annoying, I must hope they don't sell the miner to someone else. How's the experience with bitmain on these kind of issues?
They are actually very good. I had an order marked Unpaid, Expired for an L3+ for 28 days while they awaited a wire transfer. Bitmain doesn't respond like you'd like them to but they get the job done. They are swamped. As long as you send them proof of your payment they will recognize the order as "Paying" and not take it from you. Make sure to use the new system of "proof of payment" on the website under your orders. That's how they are tracking wire transfers now.

Does anybody know whether Bitmain helps in ordering PSU for those who bought a miner without PSU, because of the PSU's absence?
They do not. The PSU's come available much more easily and frequent than the miners. Just wait til the next batch is available and order them the same way you ordered the miner on the website.
Thank you for advice Smiley

Well, if you look on Bitmain site, NONE of their miners are available for purchase. Same with Innosilicon. Looks highly unprofessional to me. Fishy as well.

 It's called "lack of available foundry capacity for small manufacturers" so they can't get enough chips to make as many miners as they would like to make.

 It's PART of the same reason why certain models of AMD and to a lesser degree NVidia GPUs have been in VERY SHORT SUPPLY for the last 3-4 months.

 Are you going to now claim that AMD and NVidia are "fishy"?



 This is NOT new news, this is an issue that has been ongoing for pretty much EVERYONE that makes gear on the 14/16nm node, except for the very few (Intel, Samsung, and some or all of the other RAM manufacturers) that happen to OWN their own foundries.

 This is also an issue that seems to be spreading - RAM pricing has started climbing of late, probably also due to a shortage of capacity at THOSE foundries and demand caused by the GPU shortage (and the amount of RAM needed to populate motherboards on mining rigs to a MUCH lesser degree) coupled with an "incident" at one of the RAM manufacturing foundries that caused a short-term loss of production....



Was that incident a earthquake?

The mining boom, they're sold out. Bitmain's BTC miners were always sold in batches and sold out between batches.
