Bitmain was clearly know the the actual (f*cked ) situation and they had proceed selling more unit anyway.
I think , they used us to screw up the competitors ( baikal , innosilicon etc )
it was a good lesson about mining.
Thanks bitmain.
Don't blame bitmain, it's just business and market demand.
Bitmain had to sell their D3's quick because the Innosilicon A5 was imminent.
I'd be willing to bet that the rapid and large drop this last week is actually Innosilicon delivering A5's to large private buyers who are rapidly deploying them.
Shipping of A5's to public buyers has been 'delayed' again, but when they do ship in a week or 2, the X11 market is over for people paying more than 5 cents/kw/h for electricity.
Thankfully the A4+ is close to the hashrate of the L3+ so the scrypt market shouldn't drop quite as fast when the A4+ starts shipping.
