So Bitmain is finally going to put an end to the resale discount coupon market? By switching to "points" (like flying miles) and tie them to each customer account, they don't need to bother with the coupons anymore...

I highly doubt that. What makes you think that Bitmain is actually worried/upset about the resale of coupons? I highly doubt this, first of all, they could simply disable the "Donate" button, takes a second to implement, there is no need for an alternative, the second and more important reason is the fact that it does not matter if I use the coupon or give/sell it to you, from Bitmain's perspective it's $$ coming in, it does not matter who brings it.

Don't they have one already called BCH? Grin

Given the blatant resale of coupons (even on Bitmain's official social media) its surprising they took so long, or maybe they didn't care or condone it?

Anyway coupon re-sellers will be sad. I thought for a moment they were going to issue a token too

I have 18 points, as for the new miners will be 5nm what is the main difference between them and the current miners

Well obviously they will be more efficienct (more hashrate for the same power consumption / same hashrate for less power) and of course more expensive and probably less durable judging by S9 vs S11 vs 15 vs S17.

... my guess these points will discount a 5nm preorder item.

I have not thought of such a thing, but honestly makes a lot of sense now that you mentioned it. Since it costs nothing to dream, I would like to think of it as 1 point = 1 Terahash free of charge. Roll Eyes

Anyway, let's try to keep this thread updated, I am trying to collect information regarding this matter from my Chinese friends, so far nobody seems to know anything about it, however, they usually get the news beforehand.

Well if I were bitmain and I was going to try to sell a pre order of 5nm untested gear I would do a promo to my loyal customers . So my guess these points will discount a 5nm preorder item.

This topic will be for discussion on the new "My Points" thing Bitmain has released.

It says

Can everyone check their accounts and see if the "my points" appears under "my account" tab? and what do you think that will be? some special discount after reaching x number of points?
