Bitmain is really smart and does not off deals this good.
Conclusion WTF are they up to.
if you do 5 % a jump at 10 cent power with ltc at 9.50 usd the gear will earn back fully in sixty days and turn a huge profit.
I rolled the dice and got 2, I estimate 120-180 ROI ... if they work.
For those interested or those that want to laugh at a $10k price tag, this listing shows someone had one in hand and they took some actual photos of it. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/ANTMINER-L3-LTC-miner-504M-newest-scrypt-miner-Litecoin-mining-machine-504M-800W-on-wall-bettiner/227686_32797189350.html
yeah they may break a lot.
but i remember when they went head to head against spondoolies. and they crushed them they also dropped prices and flood the market with gear so much that btc dropped as low as 190 usd.
if they flood the ltc market with these maybe ltc just drops in price a lot.
this is a very interesting move on their part.
