Lets mail to USA, chinese ,etc government about evading tax for bitmain company . They can not just sell antminer d3 (especially by btc) and forget their clients. if they are businessman they need to pay tax as well. I believe that if many people sends mail this makes a sense.
Do you have proof that Bitmain doesn't pay taxes in China? I feel all your pain, I have 4 of these doggies coming in on the end on Nov batch. It's not Bitmain fault I bought them, it's on me. Trust me, I wish I would have bought more L3+'s in the place of the D3's. But those of you trying to blame Bitmain are full of it. It's no one's fault but your own. Bitmain didn't force you to buy them!!
MadMartyK, We were all forced by Bitmain to buy these things. You know they held your bank account and crpyto wallets hostage, and promised you that you were going to make a pile O coin if you just pre-ordered miners. LOL
No warning you can possibly tell anyone will get them to see what the risks are. They saw crypto climbing like crazy, were probably making some good coin, and lost their minds! No matter how many ways you try to describe what difficulty is going to do to profits for these people it just will not sink in... until they see it for themselves and then it is someone else's fault they lost money. Greed blinds people.
If anyone pulled the trigger and bought D3's even when we knew that that Bitmain and OTHERS were dropping X11 miners out of helicopters and still think it is the evil Bitmain that did this to you... What can you possibly say to such
SOUND and REASONABLE LOGIC? LOL
Some of us were saying it was going to go down like this and even went as far as to make earnings predictions for the D3 by the end of the year. Frankly my pessimistic earnings prediction(which people here called me crazy) for the D3 was still way too optimistic.
Did it stop me from buying a couple of D3's? NOPE, I got nobody to blame but myself for my willingness to risk some coin on the off chance that Dash and X11 coins continued the strong move up and that my prediction was wrong.
I have to thank Bitmain for their decision to release miners in the middle of the night US time, and a very very screwed up ordering system that prevented me from being tempted to buy more D3's. If not for that screwed up mess I might have been tempted to buy more of them, so they probably saved me some money!
We take crazy risks when we pre-order miners. We may never ROI on the D3's. If the people here whining and complaining didn't understand the risks they were taking then I guess they should get a different hobby.
