Pro - it's not a scam, you will get your miner.
Con - you have to wait 3 months for your miner, and you can only pay in BCash.
Pro - Bitmain have a warranty on their miners
Con - it requires sending it back to China to use that warranty
Pro - the APW3++ PSU is in stock and reasonably priced, and it's a nice efficient PSU
Con - shipping fees are high and you have to pay import duty ($50-75 per miner)
Pro - if Bitmain say they are in stock, they are in stock, no chance of your order being cancelled 2-3 months later because "oops we oversold sorry" (MinerWarez scam)
Con - you need to constantly watch Bitmaintech on Twitter or refresh their site all the time to actually catch them in stock, they sell out very quickly (ofter under an hour). You need to make sure you have the BCash on hand they will cancel your order if you do not pay within one hour of submitting.
Overall, I wouldnt buy from anywhere except Bitmain, but it is neither cheap nor fast, and having to use BCash is a pain in the butt.
Thank you ! I either understand or agree with everything you said.
One news just came out this morning that China is going to shutdown the mining pool operations in their country. Sounds like a good news to decentralization of mining...also, I think there will be a flood of Antminer equipment exiting from china to the US, Canada and Europe very soon...
