That was really bad.  I usually get into order after a few tries, but even the captcha was screwed up.  25-0 isn't 25 I guess and then it would just cycle over and over redoing the captcha.  Lovely.

Was anyone able to order?
I entered the damn capcha 20 times in a row with correct answers, but it kept asking again and again, wtf

also german

Everyone, I mean everyone on the the Bitmain IT staff responsible for the website needs to be fired yesterday.
Completely unacceptable in these times.
A complete crap-fest !

I'm in Thailand I was ready to go at 10am ( 11am china )

First at check-out it said I couldn't order cuz my language was english, and they didn't ship to china

It took 30 minutes to get past that problem, note I have ordered before  same address, and it say THAILAND

Then at 11:30am china time I finally got my shipper, chose UPS, and then it was play captcha game for an hour

By 12:30am china time the site said "D3 out of storage", and it was still in my cart but not available.

It's clear the site has 100's of problems, probably biggest problem is the "2+2=?" is totally unstable

I suspect that the entire order process was a show, most likely the entire batch bought up by some party?

It seems that they're now offering these 'auctions' weekly, perhaps to test their site.

There is no reason for my first rejection because it thought thailand is china. I can see the captcha algo being junk,

A few times at 11:15am, I got into the wait and drop loop, where passport.bitmain just drops your connection and back to check-out.

It last 1-1/2 hours of pure fun.

I don't think anybody anywhere played this game well, except for insiders, given that people are buying 100's for resale on alibaba/aliexpress and selling for $3k++

When you hear an orchestra, look for a conductor.

What would be the purpose of a fair allotment of this device? Especially given that the current actually makes money.

The staff of bitmain is hardly responsible for this fubar,

All through this journey ( I'm in asia, very close to Kunming, China ), bitmain.com worked just fine, its when THEY pass you off to passport.bitmain.com that things fail, so the question begs to be asked, who are these people?

IMHO this passport.bitmain.com is not part of the TECH company, IMHO most likely passport.bitmain.com is a JACK-MA company, and most likely theydev/null any order that isn't in the alibaba/aliexpress queue

To suspect otherwise is crazy, people know they can resell this stuff 200% or more, its a no lose, thus there is no reason for a fair game, for bitmain.com, there only goal is to sell and/or pre-allocate and fund the next batch, why not they know the 1/2 life for this stuff is months, the S9 is already DOA, given that it will not ROI $10/day. It will not be long for D3, all bitmain.com can hope for is to keep playing the current game of getting paid in advance before demand goes to zero.

Also of course keeping this stuff in china is of everyone's interest, from a geo-political point of view.

Soon china, will have +90% of the entire crypto-coin holdings, not unlike having a majority of the worlds gold, this is all high low-level geopolitical stuff.

SOLD OUT ... ,

two items in the cart ... " OUT OF STORAGE "     

I have spoken to over 10-15 ppl in slack and in forums they all report the same thing, not a single reliable person has said there order went thru or the payment option showed up.

Looks like either Bitmain never sold D3 or some one played a masterful game, hopefully we find out soon enough. Very frustrating for ppl wanting to buy D3 and now they are showing up on Alibaba for 3x price for november etc.

this is not a sales forum fuck off
