Wow, two days before my order was scheduled to ship... Bitmain confirmed my payment, marked my order as valid, fedex says it'll be arriving day after tomorrow.
Bitmain really came through! Amazing. Now if the product works as described when I get it, I'm happy.
I was trying to figure out if it's worth going through the old posts wishing death and destruction upon Bitmain and editing them, but wow there's a lot and they're really buried in these 100+ pages. So I'm going to leave them, figuring if someone cared enough to read those other posts, they'll find this one too and that will clarify.
Is it D3?
No, S9. D3 is later from different source, for me.
