So new Hashra 2 TH for 875.00 same ship date as s3's.Sept 20

Competion going to finally force bitmain to give a more reasonable price?

As it stand the current s3 price would have been ok if they were in stock and shipping last week.

We know that Bitmaim owns a farm; so the hardware is already there. As a customer, I hope it will be sent earlier. And, I have hardware from an other manufacturer too, so we will see, and I trust Bitmain, as some of my friends did.

Ohh I have no reason not to trust bitmain. Just they got greedy and started some bad habits in contrast to what was making them stand out before as a great company. Bitmain before would ship from stock, provide coupons ( discounts ) to loyal customers, and even lower hardware costs as difficulty would go up to at least give its customers a chance to roi.

I am sure you saw the 20% increase last one and the next 20+ increase coming in a few days again. As it stand now the s3 shipping Sept 20. is far from what price point/value bitmain has provided in the past. Also a discount for previous customers is nowhere to be found.

Like I said I am hoping that new competition puts bitmain back on track to how they operated before getting greedy. This last Hashra announcement to ship Sept 20 is interesting.

BTW, isn't hashra the company that went bankrupt or was extremely bad? So many companies these days so many scams.... Like I said I loved bitmain, hope they restart some of the practices that made me love the company again.

Bought a ton of Hashlets recently and was thinking of buying some more rigs for the home for winter, looks like will have some better options soon for that, rather stay with bitmain.. but will vote with my wallet for now. BTW I have 12 s3 units purchased, but can't justify any more with the current drop in btc/usd and a renewed surge in difficulty.
