If the A3 will be worst than D3 in terms of revenue, who will buy the next Asic that Bitmain will release ?
What kind of credibility will have Bitmain ?
... sorry for my bad english !
That's why they sell it for 980 USD
Yup. It would seem they learned from the D3 debacle.
Since this doesn't ship until March I actually think this was a good call on their part. The markup on the initial batch is recovered in the first week of mining, and the lower price makes a later batch more appealing. I'm content with just the one A3 (I'm more of a gpu miner anyway), but if I hadn't ordered in the first batch I would definitely consider the second at this price point...
