Topic: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 - page 92. (Read 299686 times)

you right, i was thinking the same at 500/800$ maximum, it can be ok for people who have cheap electricity

Who knows...  Current difficulty is 24M.  There will be more big shipments in November ad December from Bitmain, and also from Ibelink - which they delayed. 

I think nobody will buy D3 any longer   unless Bitmain loweres price to let's say $500.

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.

will NOT get any update. Bitmain will just sell a new one, the 1st buyers will make money, the fuckers who buy big stock to resell will make some money for few of them, the last buyers will get fukd up

That's the scary thing about miners. You can end up buying useless hardware since you never know when the hardware gets obsolete.
Hope you D3 miners get an update so you can mine some other algo or coin. Best of luck.

it's shipped for me at least i got mail from bitmain

i buy for 100$ 

Congratulation to all D3 owner, you now have a very expensive heater lol

I have a group coming in from the 2nd batch for November.  Any Idea when they will actually ship?

because of quantity they sold, and after last batch which was 1 month ago there was no other batch and it seems they wont sell anymore so far.

approximately 100k units was sold it will give around 45mil difficulty + other company miners that will give us 50 mil +- 2 mil

it doent make sense to produce additional units to sell, unless something changes in good way

they made max quantity wish some profit possible and screwed other manufacturers

pretty sure release of D3 was aimed to kill competition

50 mil is max for now at least for 3-4 months

I agree..but BTC tends to have waves...where BTC goes up high and retracts (for a bit) 30% or more

I think BTC is going to hit 10k and then correct again 30% plus...before consoidating and moving on

IF i think LTC will increase in price by 2x or 3x in that same period and I'm mining 5 LTC a day...well...thus my bet

eventually, this LTC may move to BTC also...I'm just saying...I'd like to hit 1,000 LTC again (440 to go) by say May 2018

and damn would I be a happy camper if it went to 100/150 or hopefully 300 usd per LTC

(hey a guy can dream)

worse case...LTC tends to dump LESS as a % historically than when BTC corrects...so hell, I'd just hold it a bit longer for the next go around

or so it has seemed to me since 2013

I kinda fell the same... LTC is my big love but also one of the biggest regrets a man can have 

It is a shame how it does not move at all... Since Segwit nothing in the development is heard nothing is going up

Really a shame that we are at 55 bucks a pop. Thats 5 bucks of the ATH from 2013 -.-

I agree that LTC is second in line. At this time BTC is going to majority and going to poprock. So i put my money on BTC and will switch to alt if marked sentiment is warm for it.

why do you think 50 mil is  aMAX ?

i think better to bet on bitcoin in the long run. We all know BTC will steadily increase in price/ what we can't say about other coins. 

on antpool hash power is almost 300THs, few days ago was less then 200Ths. If they test, that would be around 5000 D3.
What is network hash power for X11?
cca 1000THs?

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

As I said, you can't always mine unicorn gold poop....I did great this year.....and again..if I mine the x11 to LTC (and hopefully LTC doubles) and count my Baikal 300mh cube (made like
1.5k on that) and this 2nd D3 arriving this week...well...I MIGHT break even on equipment (man what a sorry hope) but that would be w/o electric included and my equip depreciation etc to the tax man tossed in..this would be lumping all my x11 profits for the year together..again be very, very lucky to get ROI (w/o electric that would be a loss)

re-read above the unicorn dreams a person will do ...for the sole sake of eqo protection

anyway, what I'm doing ..mining it on prohash with the rest of my scrypt pow miners to all to LTC...so LTC Is my bet...it better pop to 100 or 150 usd (it if pops to 150 I'm probably golden on the x11's (again w/o electric) quicker

but that is my bet....if, imho, LTC say can't get to $100 to $150 or hell $300 with BTC at $6k to $7k than imho, scrypt-pow mining in the future is dead and all new coin creation by hardware of ANY flavor x11, scrypt-pow, sha-256 will be replaced by a wave of BITCOIN FORKS of existing network as a replacement for such and/or now becoming outlawed ICO's no longer being in the running for fast/dirty wealth creation....I see the possibility of many, many dubious forks off of BTC ..not just main BTC but forks of forks and/or other cryptos

will be ugly imho..but I'm again above ...betting on LTC and current BTC price ...for LTC to do its historical 'catchup' kinda/sorta in price to BTC mainstay

we will see, my bet on all my dubious equipment (soon to be doorstop x11's, soon to be doorstop knc titans, a bit later but soon to be doorstops L3's)

you can review this post and my paranoid viewpoints above at a later date (or as I like to call my ramblings, crypto rationalizations of a desperate nature)

From $100 a day down to $1.50 in what, 1 or 2 months?
How the mighty have fallen.
Unbelievable!

Calculator's are showing the crazy amount of 1.5$/day......Yeeha   Time to throw it in the bin the D3 or find other purposes for it lol
