Too much BS in this to make sense, starting with the "using 1GB DDR3" stuff.
Also WAY too late for it to pay off unless they make them SUPER cheap and they have a HUGE performance improvement over GPU mining - if it DOES in fact exist.
Sounds like someone spreading FUD to me.

Why buy a HW cloner when you can do it faster with free SW?
https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree
I have used this SW for over a year and love it. I use it to create nightly backup images of all of my Windows PCs to a backup server through the included scheduler. It can also clone any OS disk (including Ubuntu - nvOC) and even Windows Server if you boot from the PE image. If you want to roll out the same image to a bunch of machines, just create an image and then restore it multiple times.
Hope this helps.
Not really in my case. My cloner was sent free for review purposes. But the info may help others so I gave you a merit point.

On the Newegg topic,
All I know is address/name are the tipoffs, I created a new account using my rental property 8 hours away with my name did not work. Different credit card with same name did not work.
By the time I got my friend to try and place an order for me they had sold out. My wife also could not order a card to our house with her name and credit card.
What I haven't done is try to use the Canadian site and the American site, to try seperate orders.
I also gave up on trying wasn't worth it, but 11 days in and I have managed to order 4 cards so in another 6 days I should have my 6 GPU's lol. First one arrives tomorrow.
For me the bonus is that I can play around with setting up my first rig 1 card at a time and adding, hopefully by the 6th I've smoothed out the wrinkles.

Lets talk new egg here , seen a few lower priced 580s finnaly , anyone have experince with multiple newegg accounts ?
do they look at the cc and shipping address or just the account if you have say two accounts ? , normally I dont mind buying one every few days
but with the currrent shortage i'd prefer to buy 2 or 3 and then be done with it for a while

Based on my recent experience, they are pretty savvy in determining true double ups by customers. Back in early Jan'18, I ordered a single Asus 1070ti off their website (limit of 1). About 2 hours later I realized they had that same GPU listed on Ebay, so I bought 1 there as well. A few hours later, I got a message saying that the ebay order was cancelled due to exceeding ordering limits. This surprised me because my paypal linked to my ebay has a different email address and payment method than what I used on NewEgg.com. So, they must use an algorithm based on shipping address in order to weed out these types of double up attempts.
Based on this, I can really only think of 2 possible ways around it... 1) get a 2nd address like PO Box or something in conjunction with a 2nd newegg acct. Would probably also need to use a different CC to pay but I do wonder if they also have a name check built into their algo. Possibly getting the PO box in a different zip code could work as it seems unlikely their algo could be so advanced to sniff out something like this, but who knows. 2) get a friend to order it and have it shipped to their house. Only problem with this is the timings issue... since at least til now, when GPUs pop up as available they are gone in a few minutes or less. The 570/580 seems to stick for at least a couple of minutes lately but not the 1070ti's.... every time i get a notification and go directly to the site (newegg or amazon) they are gone already, which is baffling since I am there in seconds after getting notified.
i think we can keep track with the difficulty level of ETH to see how much is true about the F3, but i do not like what i'm seeing with the difficulty chart of january to february, i hope it's just millions of gpu being deployed, remember the difficulty spike of dash before D3 ? hope they fork the shit outta shitmain.

Eth could use this as an excuse to change the al-gore-rhythm
only allowing 10gb gpus to work ie the 1080ti, titan xp +volta.
thus tossing the entire bitmain f3 into the shitter
puts off pos for years. Huge boost to nvidia.
We had to do this to break the bitmain "stranglehold" on coins .

3 mainboards having 6 ASIC chips, each with 32 1GB DDR3 memory, thus totalling to 72 GB RAM
Someone is bad at basic math. 3 x 6 x 32 = 72? Lets assume they meant 3 mainboards with 32 1gb ram, even that comes to 3 x 32 =72? ...
Ofcource if each asic chip had 4 gb memory dedicated to it, that would make each mainboard 6 x 4 = 24 and then the total 72gb for 3 mainboards makes sense.
But DDR3? Really? What is this 2011? DDR3 would not have nearly enough bandwidth to mine at 1mh/d for the entire thing.

Ethereum ASIC chips will enter mass production stage in February 2018 by TSMC’s 28nm process. The F3 miner is expected to hit the market in Q2 or Q3 2018.
TSMC's ground breakin 28nm process node because we are in 2011 again ... ofcource this silicon will be as efficient as the 14nm GPU's in the market ...Also miners expected to hit the market in Q2/Q3 ... when is the tape out? When do the engineering samples roll out? Or are they just going full blown production run?
And when is POS? Why would they make an ASIC for a mining algo that is going to remove mining altogether pretty soon?

2 1080ti
32gb ram
dvd player
750 watt plat psu
1 tb ssd
this puppy will be my development pc and I may finally dump all my apple macmini's.
I have so much fucking gear I need to do a big fire sale.

If this machine can be a "gpu miner" it would mean the end of gpu mining. It would result in many issues and completely alter the entire mining world.
The key is how many algos will it do?
And will we have 5 or 10
say
AA3
BB3
CC3
DD3
EE3
FF3
GG3
HH3
II3
JJ3
all of the above do 3 to 5 algos and gpus are killed off.
MY thoughts would be
AMD
NVIDIA
INTEL
Every graphic card builder
and the desktop pc industry would get hurt.
Bitmain needs to step very carefully here.
As a miner for a lot of years I am happy to be mostly in cash at the moment.

That was my thought at first, then I realized that Bitmain would be competing against the likes of several companies with market caps in the $10B - $200B range and millions - literally millions - of already deployed GPUs. Oh, and you can bet those Bitmain miners will feature their legendary quality...
So now I'm thinking this will be the proverbial tempest in a teapot.
ouch. that would certainly put some hurt on gpu eth farms. most people were counting on eth not going away from pow for what, another year or so?
Even IF they do eventually go PoS.. they'll most likely go hybrid at first..
ouch. that would certainly put some hurt on gpu eth farms. most people were counting on eth not going away from pow for what, another year or so?
So bitmain has decided to call the eth pos bluff.
this will shake up the world of cryptocoins big time.
of course a fork could fork the bitmain asic. I would like to see this play out.

The F3 only for ETH mining may not be the full story here... memory heavy algos may benefit too?
Can Bitmain do a multi-algo Baikal miner?

The burning question I have is: do I switch over my AMD cards to mining Ethash now (not ETH, per se) to get what I can before difficulty goes to the moon... ahem... or do I keep them on Cryptonight?
Otherwise, I suspect this will hasten the transition of ETH to PoS, eh?
ouch. that would certainly put some hurt on gpu eth farms. most people were counting on eth not going away from pow for what, another year or so?
