On a side note this answers the fact why they switched S3 to preorders.
I don't know if this is good news or bad news - as this leaves only Spondoolies to offer hardware without running a farm at the same time.
Yes you will say that Bitmain is "renting" its power but since they come out and say that they officially have a farm we don't know how much extra power (maybe the S3s that didn't ship for 1.5 months) and of course they are merge mining.

So is this good for p2pool? Well nobody will care in 12 months time because it seems that we will all be forced to switch to cloud mining and others will keep the benefits of p2pool. We will just get payouts based on a calculator every week.

It seems that serious companies copied pbmining's ponzi scheme. But this time since they have their own hardware they will just remove the "ponzi" part and do it legit and we will all accept and be happy.

It seems mining for the average folks will be a thing of the past soon...
