Cant call it a scam. Dont get me wrong, there is no way in a million years I would buy one, and dont agree with Bitmain dumping used equipment but all the information is available. Anybody looking to spend $12k should be bright enough to do some research. 10 seconds on google or on here and you have 1000 comments explaining why not to buy one (ROI, fork etc.).
As MindfulPar mentioned at the start of this thread, Bitmain even put on their site about the possible algorithm change. Anybody stupid enough to buy one after all the warning...its their own fault, not Bitmains! Bitmain are just greedy and dont care about the damage to crypto's.Teach them a lesson nobody buy one!
(Buy the way I bought a first batch A3...not regretting it but wouldnt mind Sia incresing in price a bit!)
Yep, plenty of disclaimers about buying at your own risk and the consequences. I don't know how anyone can call it a scam. Just like anything, you have to do your due diligence. I've only purchased one thing from them, the A3, but they delivered a working product to me in the time frame they said they would. Hardly a scam.
