Topic: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 - page 308. (Read 299688 times)

I kinda feel bad for everyone that paid $5000-7500 per iBelink in that group buy...

What a huge risk and it's looking like those that invested are on the losing end at this point.

It was simply too good to be true.

I agree, but some newbies are thinking they will make 4000k per month when their overpriced iBelink arrives, that for sure won't be the case.. There will be at least 500-1000 ibelink coming online, that is like 10th/s that will be added to the network, current hashrate is 13 ths, so it will almost double.

exactly....

It all boils down to when the product actually ships.  A month of mining at a much lower difficulty is a world of difference.

I get the same thing and I didn't receive an email confirmation from them like I usually do.  The order also doesn't show up under Unpaid, Paid, Unshipped or the Shipped tabs.  Only in the all orders tab.

Guess who all of sudden have their products in stock... IBELINK...  

iBelink 11ghs 5998,00 = 545 USD per Ghs
Bitmain 15 ghs 2700 =  180 USD per Ghs

You do the Math...

First batch for 1st ibelink groupbuy was 31st july, not june.

Pretty sure those iBeLink are almost a month late from the first group buy.  It was supposed to be completed and delivered by end of June.  Those that just invested their funds into GPU mining and expansion have been making money instead of letting it sit and do nothing.  Then consider the difficulty spike when all of these get to market, the ROI calculators you see now need not apply.

Also, not sure how it is costing 400 dollars for a PSU for this.  Server PSUs are easy to source and much cheaper than $400.

I'm getting "Paying Unshipped Valid" instead of ""Paid Unshipped Valid" after sending the full amount in BTC. What status are you guys getting after sending payments?

i had 2 of this (i should buy more but wasn't sure dash or dashcoin)
i hope at the date of delivery it is will be at least half of today
per nicehash for today it is make 10 day roi crazy
and i m sure institutional customer of bitmain will get those way before us .
finger crossed and good luck to whom bought d3

@bitcoinexplorer is right about we should give a chances to other companies also to keep diversity
good entry @bitcoinexplorer

The price for iBeLink was $6k (so if you add PSU & shipping of bitmain) its 50% difference and 36% more efficiency.

I was considering

What about quality?
--> bitmain's D3 have one FAN vs iBeLink have 5 FANS (which means more cooling?)
--> bitmain is using compact casing vs iBeLink using server type chasis (which means more airflow?)

What about price difference?
--> bitmain price is $2700 and if you add PSU & shipping its going to be somewhere around $3100 to $3200 vs iBeLink price including shipping $6300 so it means 50% pricing difference

What about power consumption?
--> bitmain 0.087 watt vs iBeLink 0.075 watt per megahash

What about delivery time?
--> bitmain announced delivery starting from 15th September (means after 2 month) vs iBeLink promised delivery within 1 month

What about capacity?
--> bitmain claims 15000 MHs vs iBeLink 10800 MHs (so a difference of nearly 36%+ hash rate)

What about reliability?
--> In forums i read people claim that bitmain's equipment are not high in quality and unless you put them in datacenter or live in a very cold region they cause maintenance issues


CONCLUSION:

On Power consumption & capacity:
not a big difference, but winner is a winner, iBeLink Wins

On delivery time:
One way that iBeLink can satisfy their customer on price difference is to start shipping out earlier so they will be happy.

On quality:
Everyone have their own view but as per my research the miners who bought bitmain bitcon miners are not so much satisfied with quality, with iBeLink having 4 extra fans and more airflow by using larger chasis vs bitmains small chasis i think iBeLink is going to be a smooth ride.

On Price:
i get my iBeLink on 15th August as my order was confirmed on 15th July , i will have 1 month and with that i am expected to make $4000 , so it will put me equivalent in terms of pricing as my higher price difference would be recovered. (so i have no regrets for placing iBeLink order)

My Vote:
I support iBeLink because they were one producing equipment when bitmain was sleeping and we as crypto-people should not allow any giant to eat innovative players like iBeLink. Even look at bitcoin war going on , main culprit is this Bitmain who threatened with hardfork because they are largest supplier of bitcoin equipment & own largest pool

We should give companies like iBeLink chance and confident they will not shake our trust and ultimately prove to be winner.

My request to iBeLink is that they should deliver faster delivery to help their customers avoid price massacre initiated by bitmain.

Thanks.

Quite low and if it ever does come out expect em to be incredibly overpriced like the L3+. They have no reason to put them up and if they do expect prices to be jacked up to $6k+ per miner. More likely is they mine with the miners themselves. That being said Bitmain always gets around to listing their miners on Hashnest, albeit at exorbitant costs.

Anybody get email confirmations on their orders yet?

What is the probability that they will have a release of these on Hashnest?

They said by the end of the month, but i really doubt it they will do.

Don't think Bitmain would exaggerate this. 

There were those that warned the community to not do that group buy, but we were chastised.  Especially since there was money skimmed off the top.

Can't believe that speed honestly . . . interested to watch how profitability unfolds

Omg.. Congrat on your D3.. Too late

Why in the world would you want to buy an iBelink 11ghs for 7000 if you can buy 15ghs for 2700 ?
But here it is if you would like to throw away your money: https://ibelink.co/

Where is that group buy that were selling the ibelink for 7500 and saying you could retail if for 13k when its released....people that got into that group buy must be feeling so mad now...
Specially because the official ibelink site was selling it for 5998.00 just a few days ago.... Great Job "helping" the community out guys..
