Some of you guys are ridiculous.
So Bitmain simply shipping out x PH/s of the current network is somehow worse for the expected roi of the s3 rather than adding x PH/s to the network? One option will increase the hash power directly and the other will not, I know which one I would have preferred.
What are you trying to say? Your post that I quoted implied that you wish(ed) Bitmain jacked the hashrate mining for themselves before shipping the units. IMO it'd be better to have them NOT jack the hashrate and the early orders get the benefit of a lower difficulty. In this scenario the last guy to get his unit has the same difficulty he would have had if BITMAIN mined with all of the units simultaneously before shipping, however miners before that last guy gets the benefit of a lower difficulty.
