Topic: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 - page 85. (Read 299686 times)

It will mathematically impossible for the Dash network to reach "50 M ". At some point waaaay south of that difficulty, a LOT of people that over paid for D3 Servers and are overpaying for Kwh, will be forced off the network because they will be mining at a loss. It's a game of attrition now. The same has happened in BTC and will happen in ALL crypto POW protocols. It's the nature of the beast. Man this hysteria is getting.....well......Hysterical.

difficulty wont go more then 50 mil so it will be 3.5 usd day without electricity at least i will be making that amount free electricity for me

but other folks who have to pay for electricity they will be screwed some even wont get any revenue

This D3 reminds me of the Antminer S2, S3 and the Terraminer from 2014.

Except this D3 seems like its worse.

Lol
Good one buddy. I will jump in with it plugged in

The "swimming pool". LMAO!!

Nope, I think I got took by the Sia coin folk. They promised their minerbox solution this last Summer ...no show

They said previously to this that coupons would apply to future Sia coin obelisk orders......(I have 5) now they

say only 1 coupon per unit ...I'm not getting another 5

They also will not allow a swap of a siacoin miner pre-ordered for this DCRD unit ........even thou same price

Lastly, they pop'd out this DCRD on like Nov 2nd or some such ...and will only allow it for pre-sale till Nov 24th

and are unclear WTF presale means...they still say they are gonna sell 4000 units of each

So out of my approx 12.5k invested...it is likely I will take a loss on these...with me looking at profit rate 50% to the  tax man, unless I found some equip to apply

that 50% too instead ...I'd pay either way...why not apply it to dubious equip at a 25% in real $$$ risk this year due to high tax on mining income? WTH?

this year..plus the 25% real $$ I can apply to equip deduction for taking all this equip off this year vs 5 years in not towards

taxes I KNOW I will have to pay anyway on top of that...

I'm down 25% (again in real $$ applied to taxes owed thisyear anyway) of this purchase price if the units never make 1c ..due to the above tricks..ie 25% risk over what I'd end up paying IRS w/no equp tricks

thus in real money applied....after taxes and all is said and done on the total $12,675.usd with shipping for the 5 sia obelisk units

I"m likely looking at a loss...if a complete loss (they don't ship) in real $$ of $3,162.50

Of course, I could get lucky and they could arrive and make enough on Sia coin and their ideas to get that 25% back

but I am dubious after the fact. They can't even get the calc on the www.obelisk.tech website correct

still shows a profit at old 100mh rate, not the supposed 300mh rate
 

I'm really out again $3,162.50 from my $12,650 investment...l

I took a shot and lost....this year I've been doing a lot of that ...... the same idea for the D3 ...out of 4k spent ...out 1k plus

the newbie getting equip under the above scenario it is 25% equip deduction off taxes due to IRS and the other 75% is all risk (because again newbie)

These are some of the reasons us 'old dogs' took a chance on the D3's and other dubious equip....we made so much $$$ on the 4.15 to 50 buck LTC rise

mining.....that is the circumstances this year...indeed likely a big result of why all ASIC's of any flavor are all off the shelf

but a new pup buying the stuff above like me ...2 D3's combined price of 4k plus and 12.65k for 5 obelisks...that would be dire indeed

The last point on the DCRD decred miner...my view is a mess of ASIC's hitting that coin will blow it up the same way the knc titan firmware patch

in 2014 allowed knc titans to mine scrypt-N instead of scrypt-pow coins too....blew up all-N coins to worthlessness in a month or so

too much hash ....too little $$$ and coin or protocol goes boom...this could be the case with Dcrd decred mineR and MAYBE x11 mining, both could go boom

pumping out ASIC toasters have consequences.....

Yep if every one downclocked maybe we all be little bit more profitable.

I'm sorry for everyone who bought that bullshit..... me included.... 0.07 DASH in 7 days running with no errors, time to throw away my D3?.

I've tried to mine in MPH and Suprnova and the results are similar.... oh god.... what's the best pool for DASH?
