One of my only gripes with mine (outside an unneeded UPS shipment release frustration bomb - would only release 1 of 2 boxes to my front door)...

It lists on the UPS label on each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" -  Still not comfortable with this being out in the open given what the hardware is...

This is idiotic: each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" - they might as well say "PLEASE STEAL ME!" Who put the description on the box, UPS or Bitmain? That means more eyes on our personal business. Especially if we live in repressive countries.

This is seriously something to be concerned about.  WTF is Bitmain thinking?  Have they done this in the past?  Why now?  I didn't pull the trigger on the first three batches because it was a preorder (not in stock or whatever...) and because the prices were not right for me.  However, this "idiotic" labeling on the box is a good enough reason not to purchase directly from Bitmain.
