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. Id be surprised if were mining 25 BTM a day by next week.
Its also worth mentioning that just because one hasnt been made public, doesnt mean a GPU/TPU solver (Tensor Processing Unit like Sophon/Movidius/Google TPU) isnt 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 its possible cloud provider mining is profitable atm.
How you get your second batch while my first batch is still on its way
its kinda not fair then. :/ I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!
Do you have your shipment information from them?
What does your tracking say?
I can't be the ONLY ONE who got alerts for batch 2.
I do use DHL and perhaps that makes a difference. As does the final destination.
My shipping destination is usually pre-cleared with customs before any hardware hits the shore.
Products usually arrive at my door within 48 hours of leaving Bitmain's facilities.
