@boxalex @Vbrik I’m happy to report there is no “fake news”. Let me try explaining a different way, if you found the original post to be unclear:
- Bitmain’s May blog post describes their new transparency policy which applies to all units:
We have therefore decided to carry out the shipments and QA of all Antminer Z9 Mini units in the most transparent fashion possible.
-
Bitmain’s first tweet with shipping information was on May 27 and the last tweet was on June 27.
-
Bitmain’s July press release says their transparency policy only applies to some units:
We will publish information… for the first model of all new miners
… shipments within the first batches of those models
As @Shawn and others have alluded to, what constitutes a “model” and “batch” is completely arbitrary and upto the manufacturer to decide.
