Well, 45 min and I guess we'll find out if the "unexpected technical difficulties" have been taken care of or not.  😀

Smart money is on NO. lol.

Already not working...

Weirdly I was able to place order for 3 - APW 3++ like 10 minutes ago.

here is the proof:

here is the payment address so you can see the tracking of payment

Yeah I picked up 8 a couple of hours ago, the link still works for the october batch.

I also noticed that on that batch page, the number 999 came up, made me wonder if that's the total number of miners in this batch of D3's.



That is a crazy speculation... but this morning when I managed to get one into my cart... I saw this number 13,500 next to the D3 !!!

Does anyone know a ballpark figure for what Bitmain charges per antminer for shipping to the US?  Just want to make sure I leave enough to cover shipping if I'm lucky enough to hit the D3 lottery.
69.50 USD for UPS shipping.  FEDEX and DHL is little higher.

Thanks.. fedex is faster I presume?

Shipping should not go over 150 bucks. Shipping to my eastern European country via DHL costs around $120

Any idea why last Aug 3 batch Bitmain originally announced L3+.  At the time of order I could not even add L3+ to order.  Bitmain was so slow 2 am PST.  Any idea why L3+ has such a large demand even though ROI is lot longer than D3?  Why such demand for L3+?

I guess because total hashrate compared to what a L3+ brings is very high and it is much more spread between different coins. So the calculated profitability is much more realistic than that for D3.


What do you mean by L3+ Litecoin hasrate is spread over different coins?  Which coins?

The L3+ is a scrypt algorithm miner so it can mine coins that use the scrypt algorithm.  I am not sure how accurate or complete this list is but if you go here and sort the table by type and then scroll down to POW scrypt you will see a lot of coins.
http://coinwik.org/List_of_all_DCs
I am not sure why there is an inconsistency with some being listed as just scrypt and some as POW scrypt but you can see there are a lot.  Then scroll down further and look at the list of X11 coins.  Those can be mined with the D3 which is an X11 algorithm miner.  So one thing worth mentioning is that monetary unit switched from quark to X11 fairly recently and it is accurately listed on there as X11 so it would appear that someone is maintaining the list to some degree.

Thank you no.you for the list of Litecoin compatible currencies using POW Script algorithm.  Since L3+ is designed to mine Litecoin at 504MH/s, lets say can you mine Zcash (also POW Script) using it at 504MH/s?  Is it a safe assumption?

Ah hell, it does say ZCash is scrypt.  Well fuck that list then.  ZCash is Equihash not scrypt.  If it was scrypt though, then yes the L3+ would be able to mine it at 504Mh/s.  I just googled and found that page and posted it to help respond to your question which is why I said I wasn't sure how accurate it was.  But if you do your research you can find no shortage of scrypt coins.  http://whattomine.com has a reliable list but it is very incomplete.

So for example the L3+ can absolutely mine (among other things including obviously LTC):
DNotes(NOTE)
DGB-Scrypt(DGB)
AUR-Scrypt(AUR)
Bata(BTA)
GameCredits(GAME)
etc...

But since this is actually the D3 thread I should mention that in addition to DASH the D3 can mine:
Startcoin(START)
Smartcoin(SMC)
Prime-XI(PXI)
DigitalPrice(DP)
etc...


Coinwarz has pretty decent list of 30 Scrypt cryptocurrencies to mine.

Typically less than $100.

E.g. L3+ via FedEx to Chicago: $60.

UPS and DHL tend to be more expensive, although it might depend on location.

How many hours from now before  11AM on 11 August (GMT+8)?? >?

Historically... is it possible the September batches will ship early or more likely later than stated? I'm just curious if early shipment has been predominant or late ships.

The D3 being a new product and all - anything can happen. I don't think historic references would help much. Two years ago early S7 batches were delayed for weeks, ended up downclocked etc. S9 last year seemed to have a smoother start. Not sure about L3+, I skipped early batches and the later ones were ok.


Offer still stands buddy, drinks at a lounge/dive bar of your choice just so I can pick your brain.

I'm not even mad you got my posts deleted, nor do I care. Just want someone who seems to be knowledgeable in this area to chat with and learn from. You get free drinks, I get interesting tid bits.

has Anyone here experience  buy or sell Antminer on Amazon? Is it easy to return or get returned the miner within 30 days?

The last antminer I saw on amazon had a restocking fee of up to 40 percent from the seller. I would generally stay away from online marketplaces because though typically they side with the buyer (you), you'd have a hell of a time proving anything to them since this has become a hot item rich with scams and problems.

But thats just an anecdotal instance from a friend, ymmv. Good luck!
