yeah....but having 100 BTC in Jan ..mine like heck all year....take profits and triple hash with proper asic equip into next Jan with still 100 BTC just to get around the tax man ..is getting old

I mean I have to get off this hamster treadmill someday don't ya know.....(I've been legit since my bank in 2013 found out I did BTC (and in 2013 BTC was 'evil")  and informed SEC about it....got on a stupid bank error at their end....

I got a CPA to do taxes..this was 2013...figureing the bank would try to screw me when I embarrassed them with bank error..pointed out bank error....banker did what I expected and still tried to screw me saying I probably did not pay taxes..dropped CPA filed tax forms

on the desk..the SEC guy on the speaker phone was saying 'why am I here?"

mountain out of a mole hill on a bank deposit error of 99,999.99 they never bothered to check on a supposed to be 10,131.80 wire xfer to Sweden for a knc miner

so yeah I'm honest as hell

But again the problem is....kicking the can down the road each year since 2015 is getting down right silly ..eguip wise......I mean am I supposed to build a data hall in 2019?

thus yeah...dubious purchases indeed or pay the tax man 50% of income.....

Look on the bright side, you can deduct it off of taxes. And since I assume you are straight and declared it as a business you might be able to completely write off the equipment over the time.  In the end you got a value left of 1$ in your books.  

One reason I don't care if I pay 1800$ or 2500$      In the end it gets written off and my sometimes also not so bright moments become less worse haha

thanks ...not ideal...but what I figured....
at worst I suppose I could swap back say 5-6 of my KNC Titans (they put out more heat for winter anyway) and just swap the 2 1200 watt D3's and the 3 L3+'s for another say 2400
watts for the knc titans ..thus the loud stuff goes to the data hall and the knc titans (quiet if more watts and heat) float back to my basement from the data hall

would be a pain/ but a wash...the knc titans are quiet and 400 mh 5 cube unit is about 1600 watts so it is do'able

first floor I don't care if I hear them ..the house is from 1928 so I should be ok

well supposedly I have a D3 arriving Sept 15th (a somewhat dubious purchase...not as dubious as the one coming Oct 15th..but I'm like a tween girl shopping shoes when it comes
to dubious asic equip)

likely I will get my D3 on the 15th and my PSU for in on the 30th ....sigh..... planning .....a person should probably do that once in awhile

thanks for the update

After all your help this is my time to shine


The noise level should be ok. Depending on how your house is build. If its classic american style build with wood frame and dry wall I don't know  about the noise level. If its solid build with bricks here it comes


I had 4 L3+ running for test purposes in one of our offices down the hall. The hall is around 30m long and the room itself is around 20sqm.

The heat is going to be around 35°C and the noise is going to be louder than 69db.  BUT I found and also our coworkers, that when the door was closed you could ignore the sound.


You were noticing it when you were in front of the office, but when you were at the other side of the hallway it sounded like a lout laptop.


I hope that helps a little bit, but if you got a solid house and you are on the first floor every normal tv/radio should overpower the sound from the basement.  And you should not hear anything the second floor (at least I was not able to hear anything one floor up)


Oh and in daytime the window can be open who cares about neighbors, at night it will be annoying. But it should be no problem with heat if you close the window for a couple of hours at night

back to the "noise' issue in my basement and house arrangement (and not carrying too much if it is distracting on the 1st floor)

are other running D3's in the basement (with noise) and not going crazy...?

I had/have up to 3 hanging high speed 32" bracket window fans blowing in the height of summer in the basement...I think it is likely less noisy than them

then again when people say 69db that is the same as a canister vacuum cleaner running 24/7

as to the PSU stuff arriving the same time as the D3 unit...

just saying..you just know the D3 unit will show then the PSU 2 weeks later ....looking for an option with the 2 1200i corsairs I have here about

Since no one "legally" have D3 in their home, i think they dont know how the power pull up like the spec said.
Like S9, i found out that its took more Watt that it spec (although its already state in their spec) and L3+ are less Watt

I would like to hear how the Corsair may work to run D3, please risk it for us 

Its all about CFM through the miner. Lots of ways to generate CFM without relying on the cheap/noisy fans.
Consider a large diameter fan with reducing ductwork to increase velocity. Have that fan outside with ductwork going through a wall. etc...

This is probably someplace on the thread but bear with me...I understand the L3+ is loud.....I have a 3 story house and some of my KNC Titans are in the basement etc

I don't really care if I hear the miners on the 1st floor above the basement....I use mostly use 2nd floor upstairs for office etc/1st floor I can avoid if noise is too much and/
sleep on 2nd floor. so that should not be an issue.....

So are these D3's and L3+'s  so loud that I can't get by with them in the basement with the windows open because the neighbors will freak?

or on the 1st floor, you can get by with your life etc and use say 4 of these puppies on the basement w/o going crazy?

got the space..winter is coming....free heat *such as it is* Not sure if I'm going to get any more equip this year but

what I have in the UPS wind as it shows is:

D3 (1 unit)    Sept 15th shipping start I think?

D3 (1 units)    Oct 15th shipping start I think?

L3+ (3 units)  Nov 15th shipping I think?

So anyway, with the above setup on house etc...is this gonna be too noisy or just mildly annoying on the 1st floor?

thanks....appreciate it...I have L3+'s but the rest are now in the FULL data hall ...so have had no exposure to noise

Searing

p.s.

edit: unless the PSU's from bitmain arrive first I may also need to know if 2 Corsair 1200i's can run D3 to get by till the bitmain PSU's show? (or not recommended?)

if you mine ltc on antpool.  Does it payout to a bitcoin wallet address or litecoin wallet address?

Thanks

Same here. I used FedEx. No problems.

funny thing, I have got one in 3 days and second one is stuck... both from the same batch

I received all mine, I used FedEx for one half and UPS for the other.

Mine L3 is on hold for over 2 weeks in UPS China.. Bitmain is saying to wait and do not worry and UPS is saying to contact Bitmain... Anyone here is stuck with the same issue?

Hate this site:)) 1-1,5 hour spent for nothing...
I just surprised, that few month ago,there was no problem to order at bitmain's site,for minimal prices...

Thanks HaggsFIN.  AMD and Nvidia miners.

I opened a thread about those machines here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmain-has-released-two-gpu-miner-models-g1-and-g2-2171488

Can anybody translate what's the G1 and G2?

Thank you...if you know what is butch available ?
Thank you in advance...

The PSU is also available on the normal english site. I think most people don't want the hassle with a reshipper. I don't think the D3 is worth the money and definitely not the fact that I need to trust even more people not to screw me over lol

If you need a PSU just order on the englisch site, there is no upside from the CN version

The D3, L3+ and the power supplies are available at this time
