I repeat, the only real photo of the backside of the unit is this:

looks like a US plug tucked away there at the side...why do we need an extra usa adapter for $1 usd then?


It looks like a pair of fold-away metal prongs. BLADED prongs, parallel to eachother.
Bitmain's own pictures of the front show slight dips in the case where prongs would likely fold away.

It seems safe to say there are built to fit a typical US outlet format, without grounding (common for most small electronics).
whatever, i ordered 2 of them anyways Wink
Pretty sure that is just the standard chinese plug, not sure what voltage it runs or how safe it is to use in an American outlet.

I'm going to be really suprised if it's not Chinese plug with them selling adapters.  I just don't see them selling us something usless.  

As many said some China recepticals can look like 2 prongs but they are bent to side.  Look at top of following picture:


So it really is possible it looks straight for transport and goes to side once opened.  I wish the review cybtc did would have covered it.
Not the chinese plugs I have gotten, they look like american but straight metal no holes, like this.



looks like it is called China 2P plug.

thats what it looks like, they fit in us sockets but are loose.. id still use an adapter.
