Topic: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 - page 72. (Read 299686 times)

It's the snowflake way, it's always someone else's fault!!  I have 4 coming in, and I know it's MY FAULT for ordering them.  No one forced me to do it!!  So I'll deal with it.

I'm sorry you got duped by a reseller on Amazon.  This could be a very useful, albeit expensive, lesson for you.

That said, don't blame Bitmain.  Take some responsibility for not doing the proper research beforehand before jumping in.

done

try this
there is nothing to lose

i just calculated who bought september batch they got around 1800 usd from each D3, not yet ROI still 900 usd to go not counting PSU price and import taxes and also electricity

and there are people who bought it for 10k from resellers they will never see ROI

we made mistake purchasing this unit, but some people did worse then us

but this will be good educational point for all of us

its the time to say good bye
i bought 1 from amazon its 5000$ d3
and another one from bitmain direct 1500 $
the 5000$ come today and the 1500$ i use it for 1 weak
for aprofit of 2 dollar aday i dont want this noisy heater so i decided to switch it OFF
thx bitshit for ur product

BYe

They thought they could make thousand of dollars each month, so rather holding btc, they bought trashes from Bitmain.

That's for each buyer to decide.

You have to determine what to do... hold on, mine a scam coin, resell and cut your losses...

None are nice and easy like most originally thought they'd be.

so all of these buyrs just lost investments?

Thank you Bitmain!

I don't recall Bitmain promising anything other than to deliver the goods?  And that they did.  Furthermore, what they delivered worked better than what they promised!

From that perspective, Bitmain more than delivered.

It's the buyers that thought they could make money hand over fist non stop.

Are Prohashing and Nicehash still good? Any crash in the past few days?

Hi, no, you need a=x11 in the password field.

Thanks you, I will try with 10 D3 on batch 20-30 November. It make me very sad )))

on prohashing I think you just set x=11 (my D3's are set out to a data hall...not hands on for them nor the L3+)

others? if this in incorrect....feel free to correct (at the edge of my 'supposed' setup skills...beyond 2015, which are suspect)

Oh, good. Have more profit when run D3 with 17.5 Ghs and 950w. what is parameter you set for D3?

It's the 'disposable camera' business model, run a few hashes and toss, and buy new. Typically chinese business;

I personally NEVER buy HW that I can't MICRO-CODE, I guess that's an old-school idea, BITMAIN ain't know for its software, so NEVER expect them to offer a generalized solution, ppl say the Japanese & Koreans are both working on this, probably be closer to an FPGA, but no reason that a general purpose asic state machine couldn't be fabricated.

If I were BITMAIN I would be working on LBC large-bitcoin-collider machines, that would sell like hot-cakes next generation mining it will be more profitable to hack existing known 'rich man coins', than looking for the block of 12,6, or 3; Smart guy to could set them up to target the EDSCA-d and reduce the brute-force search to manageable time's.

This is why BTC will drag its ass on SHA2 just a matter of time before LBC HW ASIC's are released. They will sell like condoms in bangkok

***

The assertion was it NOT in BITMAINS interest to deliver a general purpose machine ( flexible micro-codable asic hw ), the domain of customers is small and they have been trained like seals to buy S1, S2, ... S9, ... S10, if the biz model works, why fix it?

I would expect that design to come from MIT, and perhaps a initial custom ASIC 1st gen fabrication be crowd sourced, and fabricated in China of course so that chip's are $1/each

U R right, DASH shit is better than CANNABIS but there are two other shit coins even better than dash-shit

onx $6.20
dpc
dash $5.80
cannabis $5.50

http://whattomine.com/asic

DPC & ONX will both get 10's of 1,000's of penny coins per day with a  D3

Then when U exchange them into DASH/BTC and pay the 50% fee, .... u still will not cover the power cost ( est $4/day @ 0.15 kwh)

X11 quite curious, most algo's like equihash have a clear leader, but many trade with 10%, but in the case of X11, only one has value and the rest trade at 2 satoshi, ...

Cryptonight might be the same, Ethash is interesting,

I have to ask what next trick of the one trick pony BITMAIN, can they make a faster s9? Many are saying NOT

Experts are saying they also can't do equihash or ethash anytime soon,  they must be really worried.

I suspect in a year nobody will even remember their name, like so many since 2011 that are no longer mentioned ( asic miners )

The future will be Gtx-1070 clones ( sucking <10 watts ) on a USB stick, deja-vu folks; Fully programmable and CUDA compliant chinese cloning
If I were BITMAIN that's what I would be working on

Good points.  Any pro's with a good rebuttal to this?  I'm just interested in hearing peoples perspectives.

Yeah, it may be possible for bitmain to make a multi-algo x11 solution, but IMHO, it would be a NEW miner and they'd expect us to pay 2.5k for the 1st batch again
They would simply use such an upgrade to make a better x11 unit and sell it as such as a replacement for the D3.

(bitmain: we do evil well!) (tm bitmain)


edit: Actually, I think this is very, very what they WILL do in the future....I'd give it 3 out of 4 odds of happening....not that I'd buy one ..just saying.....

(the last time I made this prediction it was about bitmain making x11 units....I'm gonna catch hell again, if this guess to is right)
