i ordered 2 d3 november 20-30 batch each costs 1800$
iam little bit worried that i cant get my roi 3600$

is it just me or prohasing is dead, been days now.

today zpool.ca is FUBAR. earning dropped 50% or more

Agree without you, today Zpool is really low on reward ... But Diff get upped again ...

Dash hashrate = 323.37 Th/s   Shocked Shocked

I feel relieved i didn't buy one..

Where do you see this 323 th/s??

It was on whattomine.com few hours ago...probably bitmain checking out their latest batch before shipment..

Okay txs poeple. So Antminer D3 stays only on X11.
Sorry I still don't understand is it possible to change for mining another X11 coins, besides Dash?  Many coins use X11 algorithm, don't they?

Try Nicehash or Prohash.
Then you got multicoin pool.

Lets say if there was some miracle with unicorns walking around and stuff, and that the D3 can be updated to add more algorithms, I doubt Bitmain will make that available. 99.99% what they will most likely do, is build the same D3 with updated algorithm and resell them under another name.

Bitmain is all about that money!

They will mine the shi*** out of it for a month or to and then start dumping batches out to ruin the ROI for thoes algos as well.
But hey, in the end we ruin it ourselves by always buying what they offer, praying for a (good) ROI

@Bibi187; so if i understand it right. The FGPA chip can change algoritme by bios update (software) and ASIC chip can change algoritme only by a other controllerboard (hardware)? Because todays controllerboard of D3 is only designed for X11.

Not exactly FGPA can be programmable for anything you want with software engineering.

ASIC need some hardware engineering, same for hash board. So they can be programmable if when you build it, you do what needed for future implementation.

Yeap Wink

This little beauty is reserved for a elite market Wink And clearly not for miner world.

Grr, this keeps me thinking and awake. I try to interpertate that sentense   Roll Eyes  I only can make of it poeple have good fait in Dash  Grin
Have good faith or it's their only hope? Wink

Theoretically it's possible. However in real world, building this stuff in an asic is waste of space and lowers the space efficiency because you'll have parts of the silicon that are not being used. It also increases development costs too. Nope, forget D3 being used for anything else but X11 (which it does very very well).

@Voskcoin, i epriciate you youtube contribution and your openes. Thaks for the Panda miner warning.
Could you remind what that warning was about, please ?

The warning was about the fire hazerds it did caused by users more often then other equipment. Beside that some info about the high noise level and low quality psu.

About the overclocked D3 miner, i just read about it. Have no experience with overclocking.

I don't think that Bitmain adds more algorithms to the D3 miner via update, rather they bring out a new miner. Baikal is well known for multiminer, believe that bitmain will definitely not happen.
It won't happen for D3. The D3 is ASIC. The Baikal is FPGA (i.e. less efficient but programmable asic). The ASIC from bitmain is not programmable.

ASIC is programmable to, is just another level of invest.

Actually CISCO & JUNIPER use programmable ASIC.
