If the profitability went from $500 a day to $40/day shortly after the first batch got plugged in, surely once the second batch goes live its not a huge stretch to go from $40/day to $1/day. Don't think its worth it for batch 2, within a day of receiving it it will be worthless...and that without even mentioning Obelisk...

Not quite how that works. Pretty much nobody earned $500/day, those were on paper numbers. I got mine early enough that I think I got $100 on the first day, but it was down to $50 day two.

Adding more to the network isn't the same as debuting on the network, ASICs blow GPUs out of the water, they change the dynamic of the network. Adding more just dilutes it a bit, but the initial launch exponentially drowned GPUs out.

Last time that i simulated earnings at whattomine, A3 was doing something like $30.
And when next batch are delivered i guess that earnings will halving like $15 or less.

D3 -> A3, what's next?

D3 was launched when high capacity ASIC for DASH released

A3 launched when ASIC for SiaCoin released

lets see whatever new ASIC comes, probably that would be X3 , where X= New ASIC Coin Wink

Considering both Obelisk and Halong Mining are developing Decred miners, I would not be surprised if Bitmain was doing so as well.

Or they might go after the algorithms mineable by the Baikals. Who knows.

Good point....

Merit me or don't.

What is the daily revenue with the A3 now? Just working out estimates.

Hello guys, i'm thinking about buy 3 antminer A3. Problems are: they will be ship around the end of march (i mean, if they don't scam me...) and the difficult will be higher for that time.
If you were in me, will you do it? If not, why?
I still haven't bought anything, but planning to do it.

Any help and answer is VERY welcome, thanks

Hi
i have the same struggle since a few weeks. I am checking the SIA calculator daily.

At the moment it still looks pretty good. Even if the ROI will increase double its still best to mine.
BTC with the A9 is waste of energy. T9 is waste of even thinking about it. Ether GPU mining is to much work to onboard maintain and the availability of the GPUs is bad.
Also the ROI on Ether is not that grate.
I am mining at the moment Verium and even this is waste of time. Same goes for Burst.

If we would receive the miner end of march and the average profit per Month would be around 500$ you would be ROI in about 2 1/2 months which is still better than every other coin ROI calculation.

The main prob with Antminer, when will u get your miner, what happen if it broke ( this will take weeks to ship it back and return) and what happen if it will be the next D3. You will not be able to sell it. GPUS will be possible to sell all time long.

Hope I could help you.
A3 still available!

Ok You get it in March and it takes you 2 months to ROI, comes May and then it could goes worthless because Sia *Obelisk* start shipping its units in April/May and difficulty will sky rocket!

The obelisk network was 'designed' to have 25% inflation of coin PER MONTH....with just the Sia Obelisk SC-1 siacoin miners that come out in maybe June 2018....with bitmain

coming out like toasters what do you think the ROI will be now...myself...Nada.....and add to the fact the Sia-Tech folk are assuming they will have a decentralized storage

system at 10c per 1 buck price vs Amazon cloud storage to use the ASIC's with...if they miss that target it becomes even less likely for any ROI of any flavor equipment

bitmain and/or obelisk..indeed you could have a network of Bitmain machines in place first and killing ROI even before the obelik units ship...you just need sia asic miners

nothing in stone about who makes them

not holding a lot of hope out for this working out ROI wise in any manner no matter your sia coin flavor/mnfg of equipment...it looks like a cluster to me

this is all true, but that is the risk people are willing to take when they are buying miners like this. I think people who bought D3 are not buying A3 right now, because most of them will never see ROI.
Also if you were mining with D3 when DASH was at 1,5k i think it want that bad at all.

by the way are you guy using any other power supplys than bitmains if yes which ones and what are your experiences with them

I'm using the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 since I'm on 120v. I don't have too much experience with different PSUs, the only other one I own is a little 650W 80+ Bronze. I will say though that I am very pleased with this thing. It's on the pricey end (I think $400 retail) but has been working great - not a single issue, relatively easy to set up. I'm also overclocked to 681 so she's pulling ~1520W at the wall. The ONLY complaint I have about it is that the plug from the wall to the PSU fits kind of loose in the PSU. Doesn't clip in, and wiggles around a lot. If you don't move the PSU it's no problem, but it has come unplugged in the past when I was moving my setup around.

I have 10 of them or so....since they came out..Summer of 2016....none has failed...I ONLY run ONE PSU per whatever Bitmain unit though..... L3 (250mh) and L3+(500mh)

I think they are 1,600 watts so a bit of 'overkill' but for $105 bucks plus shipping....I'll go with the overkill...so I'd recommend them in the manner I use them anyway..

Newcomer here but have to know if anyone has any information to ease my curiosity? Dragonmint B52 is there any truth to it? I know there is still a lot of skepticism over their 16TH!

I'm currently running on 120v, so just to be safe I have one hashboard connected to a 650W gold+ evga psu (the other two and the mainboard are apw++). Once I swap over to 240v it'll just be the apw.

But point being--it's running fine. I've had stellar luck with evga psus, I have 2 of my three rigs running on their high end platinums and an S5 on a second 650W gold. A little pricey, but their gold and platinum lines are worth it.
