Interesting development. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing... Seems like a good thing for SIA at this point.

@jsufree @BITMAINtech We have had no communication with Bitmain, they tweeted this without speaking to us first.
Why should be obelisk involved in this at all? Maybe the only reason could be them to confirm the people claiming the coupon really bought the obelisk .. (but this can be done without them ... I guess by providing the email with invoice or w/e).
Bitmain crushes the competitor and taking over it's customers ... well it's not honest but this is what business is about. Nothing unusual.
Must say it's well played by bitmain - checkmate.
