Bitmain Antminer X3 Cryptonight ASIC, New Batches and New Prices
21 Mar2018
It seems that some people think that Bitmain has lowered the prices of their upcoming Antminer X3 Cryptonight ASIC miners, however that is not true, the company has just released new Batches 3 and 4 for pre-order and has removed the first two super expensive ones. Batch 1 of the Antminer X3 had a price of $11999 USD and should start shipping by the end of May and Batch 2 had a price of $7599 USD by the end of June. The prices of the first two batches are very important as well as their shipping dates are tied to the two new batches, so for example the new Antminer X3 Batch 3 with a price of just $3000 USD should start shipping after Batch 1 and the new Antminer X3 Batch 4 with a price of just $1900 USD should start shipping after Batch 2.
What Bitmain already did was screw over anyone that has ordered their Batch 2 devices as the new Batch 3 of the Antminer X3 Cryptonight ASIC should ship faster and at less than half the price. Actually the same goes for pretty much anyone that has ordered or plans to order any of the batches of the Antminer X3 Cryptonight ASIC miners from Bitmain, so consider wisely if you still have not purchased any, but are considering it. As we have already mentioned Monero (XMR) and a number of other CryptoNight coins are planning to fork to a new CryptoNightV7 POW that should make any of the current CryptoNight ASIC miners unusable, so a pretty risky thing to pre-order ASIC mining hardware at the moment and wait for it for a few months.

Don't buy Bitmain

Just another example of why you should avoid doing business with Bitmain. I was burned by them once years ago and now I avoid them like the plague.

Why do people believe that Bitmain may release something that doesn’t work, I’m pretty sure they have a army of people working on the ASIC Algo implementation and I believe that CryptoNight is in for a surprise I believe that it will work and a lot of us are going to miss on it.

Bitmain offered buyers of Batch 1 and 2 ant-bricks a refund, credit for $9000 or the ability to get 3 more units in order to reach the same $3000/unit price.

They tried to get the best price on market (who would not) and then competition released almost at the same time their machines.
The reaction of Bitmain was great. They did not said: we take the big money and dont care – they lowered the price and they even gave refund/more machines to beat the competition.
I dont see a scam. I see smart business people who are trying to earn as much as possible, like everybody IS and WILL do.
And I see fair business people, who even lower the price and changing past orders.
I dont like Bitmain for many reasons, but in this point they never tricked the customers and they played the game fair for the customers like a lot of big players wont do.
Fuck you
