Topic: Bitmain E3 Ethash Miner ASIC (Shipping:16-31 July. $800 USD) - page 21. (Read 16395 times)

Yes, but good news for them is that this time they can use their coupons 

Last chance to pay u mean with old price? 

So true and the funny thing is that trolls will pay $1800 but did not want to pay $800 hehe

They just changed price from $800 to $1800   I guess it's another shitmain smart move - they let everyone think that there is so huge demand on those machines, that they decided to increase the price. But next week there will be the very last chance to order in old price  

it doesnt matter who sold his cn asics first...fact is without the fork the rats would have never come out of their holes

Price now is $1800 

Let me have a good LOL over here.... DID communist let go of manufacturing process to China? IT'S OUR FUCKING GREED WHY THOSE PRODUCING FACTORIES ARE THERE! Morron!

More profit hunger and caviar on the table!

The announcement of Bitmain's cryptonite miner seems to have been driven by Baikal shipping THEIR cryptonite miner.
The XMR fork wasn't announced or planned 'till the Bitmain miner was announced - your timeframe is WAY off there.

Also, it's not just Monero that is forking - ETN has also announced they will be forking (probably piggybacking on the Monero fork code and algorithm) soon, and I think I've seen commentary from some of the "small fry" cryptonite coin devs that they might be forking as well.


Hint - Bitmain doesn't sell their miners for pennies, they sell them then turn the money around to make MORE miners to sell - and make quite a bit MORE that way than via mining which takes MONTHS or YEARS to pay a machine off.

There have been times when Bitmain ended up selling a miner for more than it ever made back, though USUALLY if a miner is profitable long enough it will EVENTUALLY make more than you paid for it (IF you have very cheap electric) - but in that timeframe Bitmain has turned that investment around at least twice and more likely 3-4 TIMES via new batches of that miner model and made a LOT more than they would have made from mining on the first batch for the same amount of cash invested -and ZERO risk of losing money as well.


I don't like Bitmain, and they've made mistakes at times, but I don't call their business model STUPID for a reason.

That would only represent a few hundred thousand GPUs sold in that timeframe - which WOULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE SEVERE SHORTAGE OF AMD CARDS prior to the last couple weeks.

DO try again and not be rude and insulting for no reason.

F*ck Kommunist !    (Cold war flashbacks)

Yeah I read this same article today and I suspect that he doesn't support a HF because of the amount of hash power it would take to really be a threat to the network at this stage.

the world is starting to hate the communist party occupying china...

Well, I'm likely NOT to get one either...but the founder of Ethereum..is not behind a fork in the coin, seems to me that if any kind of pressure on this is of note

...the devs will simply go to POS coin under metropolis (or whatever the next upgrade is) anyway...

So it is more likely, you could PROBABLY mine this unit for say 5 months or so at worst or more..before such would happen (either fork or going pos coin)

indeed a case could be made that with ASIC's out and GPU miners seeing the end, the devs would face LESS hassle going the POS route in this manner

anyway, my take, not that I know much about this

This.

Only reason I'm not buying one right now is the fact that ETH or ETC may hard fork to invalidate it. That uncertainty is certainly hurting sales of this device.

Thanks for the clarification.

With respect to expediting Casper's launch in a worse case situation please reference 39min 20 sec of the latest meeting. They will have a "to hell with the bugs" to launch and bring back control from Bitmain if they gain majority hashing power. I.e the devs arent making sweeping changes yet but looking into possible solutions to counter multiple outcomes should Bitmain try to take over the network.

Overall all im glad the team answered these questions with full transparency in an open manner.

this...

All this for a miner that should be out in only 4 months.
Think about it, you have to shell out quite a sum right now for something you'll receive only in 4 months from now.

In the meantime you could instead :

1. Invest that money buying crypto's and hopefully gain value for 4 months and see what this amount becomes.

2. Buy GPU's now and make money now mining at current diff's, 4 months from now you'll already have a great start of ROI and in the end you'll make more than whatever you would with an E3

3. Let this shit product die and laugh at them for trying to take advantage once more...

I mean seriously, let them choke on their shit hardware!

The equivalent of 6 RX 580's is not that great of a deal since you have to pay NOW, get it in 4 months and on top of that according to history you'll receive some used hardware which has 0 resale value.

Don't give in !!   

bitmain just selling this shit to draw some attention from the f3 videos and/or their real eth mining operation...

before eth pos you can buy them with a funny dislaimer like the doorstoper x3


if xmr wouldnt have announced the fork we all still wont know the doorstoper x3 exists...why the fuck somebody would sell something profitable & power efficient for pennys if you can earn much more with mining(ok they already did)?
 the same applies for the real bitmain eth asics

there will be soon something like monero cash from bitmain, where retarded buyers can point their machines...thats the only reason bitcoin cash exists so they can sell more of their sha256 miners. thats the only fucking reason

only around 10% was from gpus. also, ignore the paid trolls that say otherwise. they must be all bitmain friends.
