I'm trying to reach Neo at Bitmain. Somehow he got deleted from my friends list. The manufacturers need to step in and stop the price gouging. These people are spamming F5 waiting for miners to be for sale, then buying up all they can get, then selling them for outrageous amounts. Bitmain and others could put a stop to it because it is making them look bad. When Bitmain can't sell miners to miners because price gougers have bought up all the stock, it makes it look like Bitmain is advertising ghostware no one can buy.

The mining community as a whole needs to make their voices heard to the manufacturers to get this lunacy stopped. I can't buy 500 gpu's, but any dickwad can buy 500 D3's to resell. Someone with decent verbal skills should draft a petition to send to all the manufacturers letting them know this shit is hurting their rep. If they limit purchases to their website buyers it would slow this shit down quick. It will not affect how many miners they sell, since they will sell them all anyway. It also won't affect the whale buyers with offline contracts with Bitmain. But is will dam sure slow down the Alibaba scammers and Ebay twits, leaving a few miners for actual miners to buy at MSRP.

I think it would be hilarious if Bitmain tracked sales and if they see their miners being resold at high prices, they simply send the code to nuke the miner. It wouldn't take but a few to be shut down before the resellers get the point. If you buy, then mine. If you are not going to mine, sell at MSRP or risk getting the miner nuked when it connects to the internet lol.
If you have Neo on your skype, please PM me.
