Wow the price in RMB is quite high compare to what we had to pay. They pay around 3500$ each.
Fare enough the iphone is also a bit pricy compare to western countries.

Yeah, but if they get miners in 4 days from order as said they'll make it atleast 3-4x back before rest of the world get their hands on the miners.

They have sold over 5000 A3s if this is their account 1NrMNvxsDwsQ9DA4styegmTue9tPPsV9bg

Someone was saying they sold 6000 to buyers in China already.. Any other users from China confirm this? If so can someone post the wallet address they wanted payment sent to for China customers?

China buyer is using same BCH wallet too?

I don't know.. Literally just going off what some rando posted a couple pages back. Trying to find out if what they said is legit or not.

Guys, i live in china... im sure you know bitmain have one site for china and one for the rest of the world... i dont know how many machines were there for the global site... but there were 6000 for china... and they were sold for 20800 RMB around 3200$... 

i got one, they will deliver in china between 4 days, so ill share some pics when i get mine... and show the profits after one week... im ready to plug it in as soon as i get it...  hopefully the difficulty will stay at current level for a couple weeks to get my money back... after that if it drops... ill just resell the machine... lol


Its legit... by chinese laws, bitmain can not sell this machine in the mainland by any cryptocurrency, they sell it only in RMB... you can check their chinese website
https://shop.bitmain.com/main.htm?lang=zh

and also by chinese law they must tell how many machines were available for sale... and in their announcement by Wechat account, they state there was 6000 machines just for mainland china

Do you know what else is required to mine on this? Just 1x APW++ power supply?
Copy paste from their instuctions :
"5. You will need an ATX PSU with at least 10 six-pin PCIe connectors...Bitmain recommends the APW3++ to power the A3.
6. Separate power supply to control board: there is one additional six-pin PCIe connector on the IO board which must be connected to the PSU to get power.

This confused me a bit ... still brand new to Asic miners here, this will be my first one. (I'm also in China btw, so also paid that Chinese premium) in case people didn't realize its ~USD 500 more expensive to buy it here in China.

Also is there any additional software needed? Or just need a pc to configure wallet ? I'll try to do all my research in the next couple of days so I can start day 1 when the miner arrives

There are 10000000000 other threads to shill bcash in. Please find one.

It was in response to the currency that Bitmain accepts for their miners and the fact that they have released this miner which with Bitmains usual knowledge, would suggest that the price of Bitcoin Cash will start to increase.
Perfectly relevant to topic in question.

What could happen with the Coin?

My thought:

The main subject of SIA is that they want to offer cheaper cloud storage. With a larger Mining capacitiy it could be more stable right?

Next thing would be that the total hashrate will increase 5 times or so. That doesnt mean more coins will produced but i am pretty sure that most miner will sell the coins asap to pay the costs of mining.

So what do you think regarding all these facts?

Interesting that they waited to release this after the price crack


They have always seemed to get an A+ on maximizing profits.
Indeed, they're really good at that...
