In the weibo below, one people replys:

Then he ask again:

Zhao replys:"Almost"

Sorry for my poor English translation, the original weibo can be found here:

I have snapshoted the weibo and the chat.

Is this legit?

If so how do I buy one?

Seems like a great deal. Half the price of a knc neptune and less power consumption.

they accept hosting miners for their customers, but you need to pay for the electricity fee, about 0.15 dollar per KWH

Can you buy one and have it shipped? Not really interested in hosting.

Hoping they will be selling gen3 cubes. Even though mining seems extremely unprofitable at these btc rates a gen3 cube would probably be the only asic I would buy right now (assuming $2/gh).

Even bitmain isn't looking that great at 2.7btc for only 200gh/s and like 3 x less efficient.

bitmain is 1.45btc per unit shipped. dont know where you are getting 2.7btc from.
