Before anyone else jumps on this, remember that there's already another Siacoin ASIC being shipped from https://obelisk.tech/ They're already doing batch 2 so the hashrate might already skyrocket before these Bitmain ones even ship out.

A3 is being shipped out, received a shipping notification through FedEx Delivery manager for delivery on Monday Grin

Obelisk batches are scheduled to be shipped in June and August.

thats great.. im checking my email frequently now because of you! I managed to pick up a small batch of these also..

Dang, I should have snagged one. I was chillin at my computer when the email notification came through and could have had it. But I don't mine anymore. Cheaper to simply buy coins...especially today.

I mean in this market even with buying the coins, does it have the same return as it did before? Cause we're not in the same sort of bull market we were before, nor are we in a bear market. We're in something in between.

Wish I got into mining a long time ago, would've made a ton of money throughout all of this. Wish I didn't get into trading alts and BTC but that's what I'm stuck with now.

Uhhhh..... and when are these non working prototype obelisk being shipped?

Who knows. I think the last thing I read was that they were hoping to ship them sometime in the first half of this year or something. I just don't want anyone wasting their money like they did on the D3 and all of the BTC ASICs from years ago that were useless before they even left the factories.

The Sia dev is talking about possibly forking just to keep Bitmain out lol. https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7r4spy/dev_team_thoughts_on_the_bitmain_a3/

Any thoughts how the price of SC will move now that a ton of hashrate will be coming its way? LTC and Dash blew up after Bitmain released miners, same thing here?

Well, if history is any indicator. Yeah, should go up. I can't think of any coins that crashed after an asic release.

Agree, at least they stay ...

with Blake (2b) it is only Siacoin. I'm out.

I envision many revivals of half-dead coins with a migration to the Blake2b hashing algorithm or other PoW algos. The last 2 months have shown that forks, coin swaps and the change of consensus rules may launch any trash coin to a ballistic trajectory.
Despite all the hate against Bitmain, they won't leave the business nowhere in the near future. Don't be amazed to see a x3-x10 pump in the midcaps they are targeting.

Are there any other coins that you'd be able to mine?

Nope, only SC

It’s bs - why not just simply offer one miner for those who already created a bitmain account?

Is it true that they only allowed 1 per account? If that's true, they're washing some of the sins they committed with the D3. They've never delivered this fast though. Which leads me to believe that they're really trying their hardest to bankrupt the competition.

Yes I just tried , and not allowing me to buy more than one Sad
