I just tried emailing a few random [email protected] addresses of known employees to see if any of them get to someone who can help me get my order fiasco sorted out. If any of that goes well, I'll be removing my angry anti-Bitmain rants so don't be surprised if a bunch of my messages disappear, that would mean things went well.

OMG I found someone that replies to emails at Bitmain.

This is a promising step. Fingers crossed. Thanks craft_mine!

No one cares. Stop posting your childish drama in these threads. It has NOTHING to do with the thread topic. All your posts should have been deleted already.

......wtf will they put up for sale next?

Now that they know how many D3s to produce in total, they will put up at least 1,000 on hashnest by end of this month. For around $ 3,000/pc.
It was the same strategy with the L3s.

What are we thinking then strategy wise with the D3's?

Mining related here, what's your 2 cents worth approach ?

Mine the hell out of them and pray that Dash continues to go up.

yeah...I have the 2nd batch I think that 'supposedly' will ship between Sept 15th and Sept 28th....with all the other x11 crap from 5 different mnfg's hitting
the world the 1st week of October..best I can figure. (ouch!)

That beast was $2,600.00 usd

I got the (was it the 4th batch?) that ships the first week in November

thus IF I get unit D3 #1 2 weeks ahead of everyone else in October that slams the difficulty up ...and counting D3 #2 a month after ships first week of November
at $1500 usd ...I MIGHT just MIGHT......get the LTC I put into BOTH back.....

so yeah ...mine the hell out of them and pray that dash continues to go up indeed!!!

(not my wisest move....on either unit D3 #1 or D3 #2...but what can you say...I'm a sucker for a pretty asic)

I'm completely new at BitcoinTalk, just spent the last 2 hours reading most of the lasts poata of
This thread. I need advise from someone who is not really emotional but objective.

I bought 4 D3 1 from a Reseller (oct batch) at $4.000 and 3 straight from Bitmain at $1450 each (November batch)

The first one I got was a rookie mistake but what's done is done, my question is:

What would you do in my position, would you try to resell the machines ? Or
Just keep them. I guess one of the things in my favor is I'm in Venezuela and electricity bills are
Virtually FREE.

My friend who actually introduced me to the mining word said
Similar speculations were made with L3's and as it turns out
It hasn't been bad at all.

What are the real possible scenarios here? I'm in no rush
Of getting ROI this year but I certainly wouldn't wanna wait over a year
To get my $9,000 back, in that case I would rather Invest in my current field
(Social media).

I await for your kind replies. Thank you. Have a nice day

I was just watching a vlog about the pressure out of BTC into the alts due to the blocks being full and the network fees have gone to the moon. So everyone is looking at Dash, ZEC, BCC/BCH, XMR. The pressure is on and people are shifting away from BTC because they have slowed the network to a crawl and are charging large fees to get anything processed.

So this may tie in with the sudden shift at Bitmain to Scrypt and X11 mining. Could be an interesting correlation there that should be taken note of. Now is probably a good time to move a little BTC over to BCH/BCC, Dash, XMR, ZEC and others who have addressed some of these issues that Bitcoin Core appears to be completely missing the boat.

This keeps up and Dash may be at $500 or higher by the end of the year. BCC/BCH has jumped and wouldn't surprise me to see it continue as they are decreasing diff on that coin so it is going to be more profitable to mine than BTC if I understand the easing they are planning for Bitcoin Cash.

Exciting times for the alts, Core is about to see a mass exodus as they have lost touch with the mandate, mission, the reason for BTC's existence...

Very good points and observations. As Confucius said, "May you live in interesting times"....These are truly interesting times.

Bitcoin is not a currency or asset. Its a MOVEMENT

This could be ridiculously profitable: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/dash?HashingPower=15&HashingUnit=GH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1200&CostPerkWh=0.10

No, that number will be 50-90% less by the time they ship.

same i thought when L3 came and did not buy, but this time i made right decision to buy D3

Check after Segwit is activated before making too many assumptions, as Bitcoin will always be the alpha dog of the pack. I like some of your points you bring out though.

rumor has the koreans are buying the shit out of btc and now dash, reason for the current surge.

One word: TRUMP

SOUTH Korea is doing the buying, NOT NORTH Korea.

Not the same thing at all since 1945.

1950 but who's counting. It's good news that East Asia is ramping up cryptos so fast. Maybe the west will start taking it seriously.
