Dear user,

We will be releasing a new batch of the Antminer A3, the Blake(2b) miner, today!

Please note that:

Just like all previous batches of the Antminer A3, this batch, too, will have a limit of one miner per user.
To prevent hoarding by anyone or anybody and to allow more users in different time zones to purchase units in this batch, the same batch will be released four times starting at 2PM. The remaining releases will be at 4PM, 9PM and 10PM (29 January, GMT+8). As the stock in each release is limited, we suggest that you confirm your order by payment while the stock lasts.

All confirmed orders in this batch will start shipping after 15 March 2018.
Only Bitcoin Cash (BCH) will be accepted as payment method for this batch. Please choose the payment method within 30 minutes of your order submission or otherwise, your order will be EXPIRED.

We wish you a very happy mining experience.

Pardon my french.. BUT WHAT THE FLYING FUCK????? I cannot brain this...
It would be like the D3 massacre. Those who bought the 2nd batch of D3 miners mining DASH, all 'died' without knowing what hit them. Not only did the price drop, but also the difficulty increased tremendously and thus rendering EVERYONE to 'die' together. End up, the people who bought them all hug each other and go jump... coz the earnings could not even cover the electricity cost.

This calls for a quadruple facepalm..
