[NewsEditor]

BITMAIN send this out to their registered users today:

"Dear user,
After receiving an increasing number of requests from buyers worldwide, we have decided to introduce the following changes in the current batch of the Antminer A3 Blake(2b) miner:

1. In addition to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) payments, USD wire transfers are now accepted as payment for this batch.
2. The limit of 1 miner per user has been increased to 3 miners per user.
3. You can now also order the Antminer A3 if the shipping address is in Hong Kong.

[Click here to order now!]
We look forward to continuing making it easier for all to purchase Bitmain products.
Regards,
The Bitmain team"


Naturally, we now conclude that the demand is below previous expectation where these limitations now lifted - where implemented. Maybe, just maybe, the availability of miners over all will be just a little bit more normalized. I am guessing, we have the drop of Bitcoin USD rate to around 8,000 to thank for all this...
