Just got one and plugged it in last night, after running for around 12 hours I have mined roughly ~2250 SC coins. I've since changed the frequency a bit and will see updated results... im hashing around 860gh/s average now, and myminerapp says my approximate income should be around 4500 SC coin/day at this time and point.
We will see what happens with the coming weeks.. I dont see it changing too much as most of who already order an A3 already has it up and running. Once the next batches are made and Obliesks, and HalongMining come out with their machines thats when the real difference in network hashrate will be noticed.
Batch 1 shouldn't see that much more of a dip than it has already gone to...I guarantee almost all A3's shipped out are already up and running at this moment.
I disagree, there are many machines that are boxed up and waiting to be sold on the second market. Just look at all the ebay and cragslist posts. There are resellers who have a bunch of these machines. Also there are many people who have not received theirs yet. Mine just came in this morning and I haven't plugged it in because I am waiting for my APW3++ to be ready for pickup at fedex some time today. So there are still many machines that were sold but have yet to be put to mining.
I think we're both partially right. I questioned reselling mine directly away on ebay as I saw they were going for near 8000$... But at the cost of electricity and all I can make well over that well say in 4-5 months TOPS given as of
right now it says ill make 5200/month.. but knowing that will go down I think in the long run it will be better to have not just instaflipped the machine like some are doing.
Aside from everything people relate these to the D3 and call them expensive hairdryers now... When the D3 was first announced and released DASH was only sitting around 200$. With the EXPLOSION of the network hashrate and the focus of mining now towards dash, where the network rate is still INSANE compared to before the d3, the price of the coin followed along with the mining shift to DASH, regardless of the heightened network hash rate early D3 adopters made out with killings...
When people start pouring hundreds of thetas into SIA network... Just watch the price...
