Topic: Antminer Bitmain A3 Blake2b asic miner (Read 1148 times)
Leaving this here for A3 owners, in case they are new to the Sia community: https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7slr57/something_stinks_in_the_world_of_a3s_and_mining/
Greetings, on the behalf of the sia community I'd like to welcome A3 miners to our project.
We recommend staying away from antpool or f2pool, and going with some existing community-run pools. Sia is about storage, and we've already had issues with F2Pool in mining empty blocks, so if you want the coins you mined to continue to be worth something, please check out the complete list here:
https://siastats.info/pools_list.html
We really want to avoid bitcoin's governance problems, and the community will take action if Sia's function (storage) is threatened by bad pools, so please pick small pools and help us stay decentralized!

Yea, this could be awesome, but I can't risk that much loot at the moment, especially after the D3 debacle. I'll probably regret it later, but it's not like I just keep BCH laying around either, and they don't want my BTC, so that makes it a slightly easier decision.
well rip oblelisk dcr miner
they are not on sale yet , it says jan 17 tho

Should not affect their announced DCR miner, but it might kill their announced SIA miner.
Was there another release at 7EST?
If they sell 750 of these in the first batch, the total network hashrate will DOUBLE.
You do the math after that - and keep in mind that their normal batch size recently on any of their miners seems to be in the 3000 per batch OR MORE ballpark.
Folks that can manage to get in on the first batch will probably make out - if they do more batches after that profitability will quickly collapse.
This also assumes that this miner model is RELIABLE - big risk when they're only letting you buy ONE.

Why we buy or waste our money on Miner machines. I mine SiaCoin on my personal laptop.

Sales are now live and currently available on bitmains site as we speak... Only bitcoincash accepted as a form of Payment and you only have one hour to pay from time of order. It's next to impossible for me to convert most of my coins to bch within an hour to purchase. But what I find really cool is these miners use the same chips as the D3 and the same amount, 180 chips. So these just may be clones of D3's with simply just a different algo. Which may prove to be very promising for future software releases for the D3
It just sold out about a minute ago.
After the D3 fiasco I will not purchase this miner. The network will not be able to handle the sudden increase and profits will drop to 10 bucks a day within a week.
D3 was profitable for me. what went wrong with yours?
When D3 was first announced we were looking at 400 + bucks per day... Where is it now... Barely 10 bucks per day... Barely profitable still unless you have cheap or free hydro

heh, the BCH price went up by $200.
At checkout its 1 per person
"Due to high demand and limited units, each customer can only buy 1 Antminer A3 in total. You've bought 1 already, your remaining buying quota is 0"
Not even 1 per person per day, you get 1 total. This is great for batch 1, this gives everyone a chance at the lotto. I did want to get an extra one for a friend who is just starting out on the mining road. This would have been a good first miner, but he will just have to wait for the next batch.

If it's 2.30pm GMT +8, the it would be in 40 minutes. So I guess none is sold yet.
Propably those who get in the first batch see some nice returns, but if they produce more than one it'll be just another D3.

Also, looks like they're limiting it to 1/person.
Where do you see 1 per person?
