Makes me wonder if they had multiple batches on making miners since some did not get this.
Agreed. Either way... I'm happy to get new gear. I certainly have not received such an email. I placed my order on September 9th. They may have it worked out [Back to 4.86 TH/s] by the time they get to fulfilling my order.
My order/pay date (8th) is 1 day ahead of yours dmwardjr and I also have not received this notice. I also went back and see that Bitmain didn't do what they have done in the past when reporting the expected hash rate and use the +/- 10% or a 4.66 miner would still be within the range of the miners the email says they have left. with so far only 1 person reporting this email I wonder if it authentic or not?
