Hi guys!

Just decided to keep my new 4 miners, they are currently on pro hashing.

And I am beating myself up trying to figure out how this may turn to be okay in the long run.

is there any other reasons other than the below how this may turn out to be profitable.


1. mine a certain coin such as Monetary Unit - hope it goes back high.
2. wait for new X11 coins to hit the market and hopefully the miners even out such as the anticipated Helium.

3. Sell miners right away for barely any profit...

Thoughts, i am aware there is literally 1000's incoming over the next few months, im struggling to see keeping them every getting ROI... as in EVER

Just picked up mine. Fuck DHL man. 102 extra euro (51 for miner, 51 for psu) just for them to give it to me. Some ridiculous fees. I have an invoice if someone wants to see but in Greek. Screw this corrupt shit country man. Everywhere else in europe you just pay the VAT.

Would someone be able to suggest me a nice PSU that works with the D3? Something around $200? Thanks

I use Dell AHF-2DC-2100W with my Antminers (with self-made cables). Very good PSU.

Thanks! I'll see if i can find that somewhere. The problem is with PCI connectors i can't figure out how many of those i need :p

D3 need 10 Connector. So make sure your PSU have the POWER and Connector

Guys I've been out this thread for a while followed the first 150 pages, so please excuse me if this has been answered.

Is there a reason to keep the D3 does the X11 have anything exciting incoming ? or will they release a firmware update for allowing other algos to be mined?

Yes, it makes a noisy heater for winter, Helium will be on x11 it will be new, its impossible to upgrade the d3 for other algos.

I heard somewhere the D3 will receive a firmware update that will allow it to mine Qubark etc ? just like some other X11 miners can ?

nope, ASIC upgrade is not simply by flashing a newer firmware.
one is fool to believe otherwise.

Not very likely. This rumour is floating around for quite some while now. But I heard somewhere that the ASICS are not able to be programmed with a normal firmware update for quark and X13.

anyway What other invest can bring you a ROI even in 1 year? Buy a condo to rent it, or something else, ROI is around 8/12 years


Yes but the condo has value after ROI, so your money has doubled as long as housing prices don't completely tank. ASIC miners slowly (or quickly) become obsolete and worthless, so ROI is only getting your money back. At least GPU's have a residual value.

true but there is big difference between earning money after 1 years, and earning money after 12

Mining is just more like gambling, possibly never getting your investment out. After 1 year with the condo, you've made some 10% profit already. There are def other risks with real estate though. Mining is a bigger risk/reward and very attractive because of that.

Riiight....because real Estate Never goes down 20, 30, 40 %.

I AM FUMING...

Just found out 1 of my 3 miners is "LOST" through UPS....

Somebody has clearly stole it !!!

I was told i need to contact Bitmain first, actually useless i am so annoyed right now.

Has this happened to anybody else?

UK here..

That is nasty. The shipping bill is specified right? So if Bitmain did send 3 as the shipping bill says. Then UPS insurance must cover it. Lot of people handeling packed miners are jalous or ignorant.

After over 10 phonecalls it's turned up in the drivers van, I suspect something funny went on there.

Yhe, probaly the driver found out how a X11 calculator worked and not worth the trouble  Wink. Good for you that delivery is near and mentally can stop worring.

My D3 is waiting to be picked from a UPS facility. There's a  customs charge on it. Anyone know how much it is? Its in Canada.

I just had to pay FedEx $198 CAD, it could be something similar to that. Just a heads up, but I had 2 of them. So it may be half?


Thanks! Man I really don't know much about this stuff have never imported anything before. Lol fml
