They were supposed to sell only 1 (one) A3 to an individual to keep these decentralized.

How do you know they didn't sell about 15000 to 15000 people?

Obviously there's no way we will EVER know, right? Huh

Just based on what they did with their D3 sales I find it very difficult to believe anything that Bitmain states anymore. Wink

What would be the way to get multiple of these, if you knew they were only going to sell one (1) unit to each person, would be to create 10 or 20 accounts using family and friends. Obviously you would need to know this a day or two in advance to prepare. Hmmmm, how is that possible? Grin

In the USA and no tracking info with UPS, ordered on the 18th. Bummer.

2018-01-17 15:02:03 This is 2 minutes and 3 seconds into the release. Paid immediately. Nothing. Pretty fucking shitty really. So much for "first paid first shipped" huh Bitchmain??

I have one coming tomorrow and one on thursday by FedEx. Thanks to the guys getting early and reporting in. Probably take a week for the price to settle in then it should be good till next batch is released.

The obelisk promised 250k tokens for all miners in first six weeks with 4k max miners released

Guys, full disclosure. The Saiacoin network was 650 TH without any ASIC. Each A3 is almost a full Th. I think regardless of units sold, the end result should be obvious. My most lofty goal was to hopefully pay for the unit in a reasonable time and hoard SC because I think it has a chance to flourish. The damn thing is only 4.5 cents or somewhere near that. This should never have been a "mining profitability" play in anyone's mind.

Hey guys, welcome to the sia community!

We recommend staying away from antpool or f2pool, and going with some existing community-run pools:

luxor.tech (small, gives some cash to our sia dev team)
siamining.com (larger, biggest pool)

there is a complete list here:

https://siastats.info/pools_list.html

We really want to avoid bitcoin's governance problems, so please pick small pools and help us stay decentralized!

I understand where you are coming from having been lurking on Reddit for the past few days.....don't agree with all the opinions but that's not why I'm posting here.

I've looked at several of the pools like Luxor and can't always find the nice summary of the three entries customary on the Antminer's configuration page. (see NiceHash for the customer-friendly approach)

Why don't you put together a summary of the configurations for the pools which would make the SC community happy, thereby making it easy for A3 owners to participate in a manner less likely to prompt a soft fork?

Just a thought..........

SC network hash rate increased by 30% since yesterday. Asian address start receiving and powering on A3...

https://siamining.com/stats

Looks like A3's are hitting the farms..

Take a look at some of the top miners (only mining for a couple of hours), only 1 antminer per person Huh

My thoughts exactly. If this turns into a dog then it will be my last dance with any Bitmain products. First they release the D3 X11 which turned out to be a complete piece of ****. If this A3 goes the same direction it will be my last Bitmain purchase! Knowing their history I started regretting even getting one (1) A3 the next day.

Anyway I just don't trust this company anymore after the D3 fiasco they created by saturating the market. They were supposed to sell only 1 (one) A3 to an individual to keep these decentralized. Pretty obvious this may not have been the case! Hopefully Bitmain reads these blogs and realize they are losing their fan base and instead creating a strong following they are instead creating anti-Bitmain proponents! Anyway enough said, the proof will be in the pudding when this hits my door and mines for a few weeks.

What you think about SIACOIN Price evolution when all the A3 will reach the farm ?

-50%

Sia is a complete shitcoin.

Please explain the reasoning here. Why?

The lead developer is very temperamental and emotional. In a meritocratic field such as Crypto I personally don't feel safe putting my money on the line with someone like him leading the project.

Does seem like it. I've seen his Reddit posts. Frankly at 4.5 cents, I'm willing to gamble on the shear potential magnitude of the protocol and project. Mark Zuckerberg's a complete idiot and tool, yet here we are. FB in the rafters.

Yes, lets all support the dev team who hates everyone that bought one of these miners.

Something needs to be done about f2pool though. We're one bad day away from a $2500 brick.

Bahaha i was thinking the same. However all the fud created a pretty massive buy opportunity. What sia community failed to realize is how many more people even looked at their coin only because of this fud and nonsense. Myself included...

To the sia dev team this is a good time not to show your true colors. Just swallow that pride and turn this coin into the storage you claim since 2014 it will be.

In the Bitmain's site the PSU is marked as shipped but in the Email I received I see the status is:
Shipped quantity(PSU): 0
Shipped quantity(A3) : 1
Is it possible that the PSU is inside the pack?
On the invoice in the email it is also marked only the miner?

it will be updated, its happen with me

Hope so, mine is still in just "Information received" DHL

Same with me from 19th. It sucks !

Finally shipments picked up today.

I'm a bit biased here but are you sure you're talking about siacoin, and not IOTA? Grin
