Bitmain is officially issuing 4000RMB (628USD) to first batch B3 buyers in China. This is apparently due to many angry customers complaining with the second batch of B3 releasing 1 day after the first batch and at a much lower price.
I have attached a screen shot of their official reply in Chinese for China customer as well as the Google translate version.
So how about all the International buyer? We should be entitled to the refund also. Guy's let's get our money back!

Warning ,
I hope you're right but this isn't a screenshot, it might be a true copy and paste, but hard to validate. And to my knowledge Bitmain hasn't issued refunds before , only coupons ... and I wouldn't trust this email address/WeChat with this info...
My course of action will be logging into my Bitmain account and submitting a ticket ... I hope it's true, but people need to exercise caution with the info they are asking for above...
Bitmain has offered refunds before, on the x3 when they changed it from 12k to 3k.
