So they throw this machine suddenly for sale, day after all coins drop 30% ish and China possibly clamping down, anyone else think this could be Bitmain cashing in while they can, everytime they launch new stock for sale the following weeks Bitcoin Cash price rises.
Possible theory, Bitmain have sold off a considerable amount of their Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash surplus, forcing panic and worldwide prices to drop.
They add a new machine, grab a load more Bitcoin Cash and buy back/receive coins while price at rock bottom again forcing price up and yet a few more Million in their accounts.

Apparently, all US Banks and companies that I have credit cards with have issued policy updates to not allow cryptocurrency purchases.
I actually agree with them on this. Surprised it took this long honestly.
It only took the last couple of months to make them notice
Hi
which power supply did you order additionaly?
THe APW3?
THanks

You can use any PSU with enough power and sufficient number of PCI-E connectors.
Yes, it's without PSU and yes you can use the AWP3.
have ordered one.
Waiting for payment to be approved.
Do I need one APW3 power supply or anything else is needed?

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

So then it's atleast 10 000 units in the batch, as 3 200 sold now on international site.

Hmm, coincidentally sales started during this massive all coin bloodbath ... anyone else with strong feeling the A3 going to face the same fate as D3?
Think I'll rather stay away this time.

Perfect Storm... Also during the timeframe when China is cracking down on exchanges and mining firms. Maybe they are trying to unload them and make a quick buck before they are forced to move or shut down
Sucks... I have 2 in cart waiting for payment and all of my credit cards are now getting declined on Exchanges and Wallets. Apparently, all US Banks and companies that I have credit cards with have issued policy updates to not allow cryptocurrency purchases.
Guess it is a sign to not buy

They had technical difficulties bitmain just tweeted they will re open ordering soon.
Propably they noticed that they have missing hashboards, lol

I think it's very risky to buy A3 because it mines SIA and sia is Obelisk team so I've just heard that Sia team can and will change something in coin algo so it will be mined only by Obelisk. Another reason is that Sia Coin wallet incounters some issues and have to be corrected, the fork is expected 21 Jan, the wallet doesn't work right now, so it's everything in the hands of Sia team and Obelisk and not Bitmain...And what would you do with A3 in 10 days if nothing works...
Last but not least A3 is not power efficient as Obelisk and A3 is very noisy, so it seems obsolete...
Where do you see that Sia team will change something in their algo? Also, can't Bitmain just update the firmware to cope with it?
A3 is not really better than Obelisk, that's why A3 is not a pre-order.
Probably buying the coins will be less risky than buying a miners.
But it's not that simple buying coins guys right now, the wallet doesn't function well so it all in the hands of sia team that is obelisk team...
Then it sounds strange that Obelisk launches an Asic for theis siacoin mining and then Bitmain comes first this way with industrial type Asic not improved in dB and power consumption... Sure they ship in time?
If I were Obelisk I'd try to be quicker in shipping their asics or better in customising their machines...
They had technical difficulties bitmain just tweeted they will re open ordering soon.
BTW here is a good site where you can model future Sia and Decred earnings with Obelisk and Bitmain.
Obelisk data are preloaded there, and I just added Bitmain.
If you estimate that Bitmain is also mining with his miners, and put 10000 miners in 1st batch, you will get profit of $1500 for the 1st month

I don't think there will be 10000 pcs sold, but less...

2500 pcs of A3 sold the numbers are rising hour by hour
Now it's more than 4000 pieces.
how can you know how many sold?
Watch the wallet is the only way I know of..

Oh yikes, looks like global hashrate for Blake(2b) is around 627.58 TH/s (at this moment). It would only take 770 AntMiner A3s to double the global hashrate. Looks like this is going to be another AntMiner D3 situation.
Too bad you can only buy one at a time so you won't be able to stockpile them and rip all your customers off again like the L3+ and D3 huh? What a strike to those people who bought Obelisks which will be shipping in summer!! Poor fellows
