Topic: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 - page 291. (Read 299688 times)

 Not true, but it will rise enough to drop the profitability WAY LOWER than the current "incredible" calculations indicate quite quickly once any of the 2'nd gen X11 miners (specifically the new Pinidea, the A5, or the D3) start shipping in quantity.
 Like on Litecoin though, the rise will be limited some by availability of miners to buy - there just isn't enough foundry capacity available on the current 14/16nm node for small companies like Bitmain and Innosilicon and Bitfury and BW.COM etc to make as many miners as they WANT to.

 It'll likely be quite a while before any of the 2'nd gen X11 miners become UNprofitable unless you have a very high electric rate.

 The resale value on an ASIC miner will NOT go up over time, though it might show short "spikes" when coin prices spike, like the last 3 months period or so.
 S9 never got to the point it was UNprofitable, though sales dropped some as the profitability dropped, prior to the large Bitcoin price rise of the last 4 months or so.
 A lot of that was driven by the big jump RIGHT AFTER the S9 was released, when the Chinese exchanges were allowed to accept Yuan after a year-to-two-year prohibition - then Bitcoin price flattened out for several months, very slow climb with a lot of bouncing 'till the next big jump hit this spring.

Everyone is saying the Difficulty will rise to the point where it becomes unprofitable, yet the the resell value on these will only go up with time so buying and reselling these might be a better idea than just mining with them.
I am new to this mining thing but the same things were said about the S9 and L3+ BUT their respective coins rose enough to keep up with the difficulty so if history is an indicator DASH will be rising as well. So i would still get on the third batch heck even the fourth batch might still be relevant.
I don't know much but all these haters keep on hating and they are proven wrong everytime

It's tough enough to resolve stuff on alibaba with assurance. Legit places on there thrive to
get legit cred. Avoid those who won't are scams on that site

I wouldn't go anywhere near that. So many lowlife filthy scammers out there now. They're like flies on shit.

Any way to receive notification when they put some on sale ?

I would like 1-3 of them :/ My GPU mining operation is not profitable anymore...

Trust me, you won't be getting that either.

Damn, you've destroyed all my imaginary profits!          instead of 7k per month - only 3.5k now  

Don't do it, I just lost 1 BTC in a similar "too good to be true" miner order site.

Be fully prepared to lose your money, these will be popping up all over shortly

I found this company on alibaba selling miners; antminer D3 is one them. I am negociating with them method of payment. They want wire transfer or WU; they don't want to use alibaba trade assurance. Therefore, I am skeptical about their credibility. Does anyone on the land heard or buy from this company? Your input will be very helpfull. I provide the company info below.

DIHAO Antminer D3 15GH/S 1200watt Dash X11 Miner DASH COIN MINING DARK COIN MINER

I bet some test from bitmain on there new D3
Or like u say, the new phone mining apk, S8 = 10GH/s sell at 3BTC, pm ! 

Sorry for that, I powered on my new sha/scrypt/x11 mobile phone that arives today from Bitmain ...

Anybody knows why DASH difficulty increased today from 400k at 9am to 800k at 1pm ?      and return back to 600k at 2pm.

How such big jumps possible?   

Bitmain orders for their PSU (APW3++) opened right now, so you can order from them if you don't want to use another PSU.

 EVGA G2 1300 would handle the D3 - but doesn't have enough connectors unless you dig up some extra EVGA-specific "dual" PCI-E cables.

 Stock IIRC it comes with 2 "dual" and 4 "single" cables, you need at least 4 "dual" and the other 2 can be "single" to get to the 10 connectors this unit needs.

 It's also a LITTLE marginal on capacity, so you might want to go with the G2 1600 instead (which I think DOES have enough power connectors, but does cost a fair bit more).


 I *suspect* it may be a couple months for the next batch, due to the turnaround time between being able to order a new batch of chips and when they get delivered - all the foundries that can MAKE the 14/16nm tech chips for current-gen miners are SWAMPED which causes some significant delays for the "small fry" like Bitmain when they need more chips.
 Next batch might go on PRE-ORDER sooner, though.

Damn... its already out of stock

Any specific date, when will next batch get released...
Also why there is a 40-50 days of delay in shipping?

I'm on that list too and never even got the email.

I just got the one informing us that they will disable BTC payments from 31st to 3rd. I tried to ask them if they're planning a new D3 batch before the 3rd but no answer yet. I have my funds waiting for the D3 in BTC, I need to know so I can change it to LTC!

I got mine about 6 hours before the sale. It was the middle of the night US time though.

heh...I'm on that list..I get the email after they are sold out..just saying

Email support and they will put you on an email list.
