Its legit... by chinese laws, bitmain can not sell this machine in the mainland by any cryptocurrency, they sell it only in RMB... you can check their chinese website

and also by chinese law they must tell how many machines were available for sale... and in their announcement by Wechat account, they state there was 6000 machines just for mainland china

BTW, im not chinese... just been teaching english here for a few years

Here you can see they have received 8,881 BCH since the announcement. Divide that by the amount that i paid (1.41) = 6342 miners. However, I am sure they sold several power supplies as well, so 6000 units seems about right!

My question, is that 6000 just for china or 6000 for the whole planet?
