the first batch is 5000, not 2500. 2500 was wishful thinking. Read back through the thread, this has been verified by a bytom developer

I believe the breakdown was 2500 for the Global market and 2500 for the Chinese domestic market. (Remember, BYTOM is huge in its domestic market. Their Global outreach is just now beginning to take shape)

Also, Batch two units are beginning to arrive. Mine is set to be delivered early (Tomorrow) for some reason.
Expect B1/B2 A3 ROI times here. I’d be surprised if we’re mining 25 BTM a day by next week.

It’s also worth mentioning that just because one hasn’t been made public, doesn’t mean a GPU/TPU solver (Tensor Processing Unit like Sophon/Movidius/Google TPU) isn’t out in the wild. The source and C implementation of Tensority has been published for a while now.  The Nvidia TPU cores on their Volta GPUs are far more powerful than even the Sophon units, so it’s possible cloud provider mining is profitable atm.
