I am in the retail jewelry business where you have to beg people to buy. Bitmain is in the business where we all want to throw them money and they do not have enough supply. Must be nice  Smiley

You have to keep in mind there are huge boom and bust cycles here. So demand is high today because the numbers look good, but it changes fast. They know this is the case so they are making the most of this cycle. But just as fast as it went up it will go down and we will be back to grinding out a few bucks a day per miner.

Not nearly as many people clamoring to sink thousands of dollars on equipment when the ROI is well over a year or more and new equipment shows up making your investment obsolete before you ROI. So we have to keep a clear frame of reference beyond the "now".

they have enough supply but these are money printing machines. They make more cash by using it themselves. Only sell when it reaches saturation + peak level mining starts a downward trend.

if your jewelery made more money than what they were sold for at retail, it would be a booming business. hehe

Was the D3 available again for a little while today? I wonder if it will go to the Hashnest? Do you think them mining for us is a good option?

I monitor changes to Bitmain's website and see that they re-arranged some stuff, but I don't see any evidence that sales were re-opened today.


Sale was not reopened yet.

With all this BTC and fork FUD/drama ...If I was them I'd not put them up for sale till sometime after August 1st when this all settles....

(of course saying that ...I'll miss today's sale) but anyway....what I'm expecting...

I'm really curious how much delay there will be between this first batch's shipping date and the next batch.

Is Dash the only altcoin mining option with the D3? It looks like the other X11 algorithm coins are too small to handle any sizeable increase in hashrate.




Well it doesn't matter how big the network is. The difficulty will increase and everyone will kinda make the same they make right now.

But you could always rent you hash out to a multipool like nice hash. They pay in BTC and you are kinda less volatile when it comes to rewards.

one company control most of hash power for the big coins now .. this could lead to centralized network.similar to Bitcoin

Its crazy that it sold out in less than a day. I'm sure it makes people who bought the ibelink for $7000 pisssssed. They could have bought two of these with some change to spare.  The A5 innosilicon looks interesting at 30 GHz. We will see what the pricing looks like.

Ibelink owners will reep the rewards before the difficulty bomb when the d3s/a5s are released. The more people who are turned off ibelinks price the less they are sold, better rewards for owners, but of course its possible resellers are mining away before their sold, but that would screw with their sell value. Who knows. All owners have to do is hold their coins, dont sell! evolution update due later this year too, so between that and difficulty increase the price of dash should go nuts

Wow ibelinks sold out again, even after news of d3 and a5. Thought they take longer or not at all. Demand is there.

bitmain will likely soon own scrypt-pow network the same way...by kicking out units like toasters (bitmain: it's what we do!) (tm bimain evil)


 Bitmain is still trying to catch up in scrypt to the installed base of Innosilicon A2 units - they might get to 50% in another batch or two of L3+ units though, Innosilicon doesn't seem to be selling a ton of A4 miners due to the lower efficiency and despite the higher reliability since they got their firmware/software sorted out after the first 2 A4 batches.

 It doesn't help Innosilicon any that they won't sell single units.

The D3 is interesting. Normally Bitmain owns the efficiency war, not looking that way this time if the product specs are to be believed from iBelink and Innosilicon.


bitmain owns the btc network 90% plus equip I'd bet plus their large pool

bitmain will likely soon own scrypt-pow network the same way...by kicking out units like toasters (bitmain: it's what we do!) (tm bimain evil)

bitmain now is trying the same play for the x11 miners (ie likely also out like toasters as well)
