Just opened mine up- doesn't look beat up as NSX described but it was not in a bag. 

Well to be fair i have 6, and 2 are ok.  Still no bag but look ok.  can see dust, but not as bad as others.  Its like a magic lottery i guess, lol.

What is the name of the company that sent you the junk?

Minerwarez?

yes, can only get from canaan in pallet now.

Paid with credit card thankfully, ill get more  pics tonight and put up.  Do you prefer a pic of the ones full of bugs, or the dented one or the scratched ones, or the ones that didnt have any cables.  Lol, this is ridiculous. Will be calling bank tomorrow, done dealing with them.
For proper documentation pics showing the QR code and/or serial number on each one are a good idea. That will give a time frame of when they were built.

Didnt know that, can only canaan interpret the serial number into manf date?
Directly, ja only Canaan would know.
However -- we can compare the numbers with miners from recent batches and should get a good idea where the offending ones are in the chain. Canaan had been releasing a new batch every month or less until this recent mess started.  Most recent ones I have are from my Aug-8th order and a mid-July order.

Were those at least wrapped in their usual heat-sealed plastic bags?

No, not wrapped in bags,(that parts sucks, because some of them have foam inside the machines now from rubbing in shipping, have to open to get foam out) cords not in the little bags either  (for the ones that came with cords), cords have dust all over them.  last miner i got like two months ago started with AMg3.  these start with AMS8.  so not sure what that tells me.  another one from two months ago is AM56.  so dont know how they even relate to each other.

I hope they can get more organized.

Remember they got a curveball from their GOV.  which had to hurt them.

but a lot of confusion has happened.

 They will get better.

Got my "NEW" 741 miners from minerwarez.

Pretty freaking pissed, looks like they ran it in a barn for two years.  How the hell do you get bugs in it.

So theoretically, if bitmain and all their miners they run shut down, 1-2 days before difficulty change, would enough hashing power come off the network to actually drop difficulty, i would think if that was possible they would be doing that to lock in another two weeks of higher profitability.

Re: Bitmain wire transfer help

When you make a payment abroad, there usually both sender and receiver bank fees involved.
So your bank takes a fee for the payment and also Bitmain's bank takes a fee for that same payment.
Bitmain wants you to pay these both fees.
This has been the case for a long time.
I remember things been the same when I ordered Antminer S2 back in the old days.

Thanks again for the reply. I understand the fee part, may be I was not clear with my question as to how much the fee is.

Thanks and I truly appreciate your help!

Whatever they feel it should be that day.  Sometimes they told me 20, sometimes 25, usually 30 usd.  if you just add 30 should be fine.

Re: Bitmain has D3 and L3 in stock.
by

on 15/09/2017, 20:51:33 UTC
why are D3 selling out and L3 still in stock ? the D3 is basically DOA
i grabbed 8 L3

they sold over 40,000 of D3 past few days, possibly more.  They added L3 back to stock a day later and it went out of stock a few times the past few days, they kept adding more back.
40,000?? Where did that number come from? Sounds pretty crazy. Many of these sales are from people expiring previous orders without paying. 40,000 is a LOT of servers.

People just pulling random info from the moon Been you know this forum haha. If we went based on people's guesses lately bitmain sold a million d3 and 10 million l3 and they will do negative 10 USD daily. Doom and gloom plus why would anyone post a thread stating a site had miners in stock when anyone who cares would check it regardless. The world is fucked up place.

Its in the shopping cart code, attached to the jquery.  Not exactly the moon.  It would auto add back after btc payments used to expire.  18k sale two days ago, 18kish last night.

Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3

Holy crap, 17,863 D3 in this batch.  I am starting to regret yesterdays buy now.  Funny how china exchanges go down, now all the sudden bitmain has plenty of stock.

where do we get the order numbers from?

The listing page's source code shows the remaining count. The number decreases as people make orders and the item sells out when it reaches 0. Many here have assumed that each time they do a batch, they are actually selling that many units. I have no doubt that there are enough orders to add up to the total number offered, but I do doubt that a significant portion actually pay. I don't believe Bitmain is selling from a pre-defined number that they already have planned to make. Rather, I think they have a general idea of how many they want to sell and continue to put out batches of "20,000" until enough people actually pay and they reach the number they're shooting for. We may have seen 100,000 orders go through, but I'd wager that less than 30,000 will actually be paid for and shipped. That's still a huge number and I'm totally speculating here - I have no insider knowledge and could be completely wrong. We won't know for sure until November.

On their last website update last weekend, they actually moved that code to the actual cart from the product page (sneaky).

Hello,

I came across etorogear.com and they claim they have miners in stock, has anyone had any experience with them? so as to know if they are legit or not.

Thanks

It is a scam, they will steal your money.  Stay away.

I doubt any conspiracies against US or Europe, I'm living in Asia and couldn't get my order through !

Yeah, I agree. When I VPN to Hong Kong, my results are the same.
Did you use a reputable VPN that requires you to program your router? Free VPN's are worthless.

Reputable? Ehhh, I got a free subscription with GhostPath with my UseNet subscription. I just tested with that and couldn't get through any easier so I went back to not using the VPN.
Yeah I tried "Tunnel Bear". Useless. From what  I understand and I'm no network expert, you need to program your router and the router has to function as a VPN client. Most home routers don't. You need a specific router that can do this. Anyway, I'm not saying "conspiracy" I am saying that the site is definitely "Geo Blocked". It's the only thing that makes sense.

I tried tunnelbear as well.  Didnt make any difference at all.  Not sure if it was chrome or tunnelbears fault, but firefox was best bet.  Honestly i think their stuff crashed and none of the orders were valid when they first put for sale.  Once they reloaded them a few hours later process was nice and smooth just like an unloaded site, was able to snag 50 of them with no issue (yes i would let some go if someone wanted for small markup).  But the L3 never seems to have went back online, curious if they will reload those tonight.

I believe they are processing pallet orders first.
admittedly we placed a pallet order and have been getting regular communication from Cannan

Will keep you posted.


Well i ordered a pallet and no response at all other than automated "we only accept wire for this, how do you want to pay"  All they need to do is send pallet people wire instrucions, but we did not even get that, hell  bitmain is automated right when you checkout it shows.

So not sure what you mean by regular communication, you mean the automated back and forths?  Only communication should be (here is wire info or bitcoin address, as soon as payment clears items will ship).  Or would be nice to hear something like (we are not shipping till whatever date, or we are processing orders xxxx-xxxx today.  Anything is better than nothing.
