I have a D3 in my hand (no psu yet from bitmain) I can sell it for .1 btc (plus shipping and escrow costs) if anyone is interested please message me on here.
so now i see i payed 1 Btc for my 2 d3....now look at BTC!!!! its like i payed 8 thousand dollars lol lol....wow
Nobody can predict the Future.
so true, so true. Who knows what the price of Dash will be or what Helium will be in 3 years. I thought people were crazy when they were talking about $10,000 for bitcoin in 2013. I wish I had held on to every single one, but I didn't. That's life, though. I've been eyeing miners on eBay thinking of what Helium might bring. Crazy thoughts, but who knows, right?
Be careful....the x11 algo is going to need much more than one new protocol to dig it out of this hole. Also, there are a Metric Shit ton more of these X11 servers coming onto the market. Personally I wouldn't pay more than $350.00 for a D3 now. Especially because they are hot and fickle. I never have to do ANYTHING with my S9's and L3+'s. (except clean the dust out of the boards once a month.) I baby sit these fucking D3's CONSTANTLY.
To avoid permanent monitoring of this D3, i recommend you to download last firmware, resolve lot of issue.
Also i add a crontab running on one of my GPU rig, checking if D3 run fine, if not a reboot is launch.
Actually after 2-3d of running D3 start to do some HW error, as basic routine i reboot them with another cron every 3d.
For people crying about how much they pay D3 cause they use BTC, blame your self oO
You can use, LTC is a more stable money. Or for first batch even better USD WIRE, he a bit slow to do but you avoid fluctuation market.
Anyway D3 was my first ASIC on first batch ... Bitmain do a nice move for him self, but with new competitive miner builder on the market now, end of 2018 will be a nice moment for ASIC i assume.
Just have to target the good one.
Actually my D3's were only dropping 1 hash board every two or three days before. I flashed that new firmware version and now the bastards are completely crashing every 2-3 hours. They show NO HW errors and my temps are 67c-71c. Then out of nowhere boom, just goes all X's. If anyone has a copy of the older firmware can you please post it. I need to get this new version off these serves. It's full of bugs or something. Yes I've tried reflashing it and switching PSU's. It's definitely that new firmware.
Try to revert firmware back to the old one and see what happens.
How do I do that? I don't have a copy of that file. Will reset bring it back?
If this happen on same hashboard, you have a chain scission. Main hashboard with chain scission was running fine, after HW every 2d - 3d, after is like a zombie board, your miner say you will use only 30 chip instant of 60 but gonna make more them 50% hash on this one.
In end your hashboard will bot at 30 chip detected and you will have to send this one.
Actually after shipping time and custom control on china, Bitmain repair my board on 3 days and ship this one.
I reach it Monday normally. I ask for a "maintenance" update about hash, it seems nothing news from batch 1 to batch 3.5, only more frequency usage.
