SAME PROBLEMm


HELP!!

Yep...as of 9:49pm CST midwest usa....they still have T9's and the A3's at $980 left (march orders)

I'm passing

did they ever do the $800 buck obelisk coupon thing or was that just not true?

curious...I swap'd my 5 800 buck obelisk coupons to a 'long shot bet' by a buddy on them ..he will get 5 ...1 will go to me for free for the coupons and I think I also get

another $250 buck coupon for future purchases....(does that mean I've already ROI'd) these are Decred machines by obelisk likely July 2018 soonest if not later...by the by..



so he will pay 1k each for his 4 of my 5 coupons...he is big enough it won't matter much ...and he is betting on the fact bitmain will play games and decred may not come to pass

(possible) he is big enough however ..that 4 units for him would be equiv of 1 A3 bitmain bet for me now...but I told him not playing this game (learned from D3's)...just not gonna

do it ...I will however toss my unused (and likely never IMHO to be used) 800 buck coupons his way....on that same batch I still have 1 $400 buck coupon and 4 $250 coupons

prev to this $800 coupon offer...so wtf....(yeah, this could not go badly..sia-tech is now on what 3rd batch of vaporware)....anyway doorstop/vaporware etc it is a free

decred ASIC doorstop at worst ..no risk for me. (unless likely on thurs bitmain announces they will take 800 buck coupons....wait for it)




what do folk think? are we missing the boat on getting this A3 at this $980 price...or is it as I fear.....the antminer D3 not to ROI ( I have ROI'd on my D3's only

if I count my 300mh Baikal from may 2017 that has made 4k worth of dash.thus lost roi on the D3..but if I say to everyone I broke even on X11 miners....less angst)

so with above ..I can KINDA say I roi'd on x11 (with the Baikal cube cheat above) just don't want to go thru all that again with dubious A3 (already have 5 dubious

obelisk siacon miners coming, June 2018 at the earlest..yech!!)



I suppose now you all will tell me the 800 buck coupons will be or could be used with the current A3's that would pretty much round out my week as it has gone so far

anyway......how it stands on dubious equip...so far....TRYING to resist.....

so what do you think is next for Bitmain and its evil empire?

An ASIC miner for Etherium perhaps?

Bitmain: We do evil first, if evil needs doing...be prompt! (tm bitmain)

Bitmain is opening the flood gates at the moment.  They are offering everything, S9s, L3s, A3s, T9s,  routers,,,,EVERYTHING!  Not sure if they are just cleaning house and emptying the warehouses, but something is up.   They have so much profit built into these things.... with the slave labor used to manufacture,,,, they can manufacture each miner for approx. $500 USD all in.

Maybe they are trying to sell now when the price of BTC is still high over 10k before BTC drops and they have to go back to offering miners at $900-$1200 prices.  Or, they are trying to make room for a new product line.

So when everyone in the world is making mining rigs and everyone in the world is mining, that will be a real good thing right? Bunch of idiots.

Hi guys!

Has anybody a actual fimeware from bitmain?

Thanks a lot and bye, FNT

I came across this video

you can see some guy repair bitmain card

I'm still having 2 dead Hashboards. Bitmain sent me an email....but they forgot to attach the firmware......
for those having the same issue, did they send you the firmware if yes. Could you please share it with me.

Thanks

yup, there should be a balance in pricing and production in order for everyone to be happy.

If there was a clarity, that only this many units will be sold, then buyers will have choice to calculate the ROI /profit and invest accordingly, not like you keep producing and pushing the miners and even worst reduce its price within 3weeks, clearly shows manufactures mentality.

All batch 1 A3 miners will ROI before batch 2 is delivered, assuming comparable coin price.

Heh, Bitmain just can't win. High price, then they are condemned as greedy/shrewd/ruthless. Price too low then they are condemned as greedy/shrewd/ruthless. No worries, Samsung is bringing some much needed competition: https://www.ccn.com/samsung-begins-manufacturing-asic-chips-for-bitcoin-mining-rigs/

I think it is not the price that is the cause, its the attitude of Bitmain to pump the market with so many miners at low price that not even the first batch buyers can't make their ROI very soon, coming to Baikal, they only release a very limited quantity with higher price, so that there are few ppl running miners and profitability doesn't not go down so soon.

Charge $2,378.00 for an aging and highly inefficient L3+ that nets $7/day and they sell out litening fast. Now the problem is that they are only asking $980 for their latest and most profitable ASIC, so that has everyone 2nd guessing themselves. Baikal is charging $7,000 for their next batch of Giant B and X10 ASICs and will have no troubles selling out, but imagine the ridicule if they would have asked $700 each. People would be like, "Hellz naw, I'm skipping that, psh, for $700 I could snag a GTX 1070 these days." Charge $7,000 each and they be like, "I'll take 6!"

I think Bitmain's pricing has much to do with the Obelisk and their imminent (infinite?) batches and compound coupon offerings. Bitmain decided to price competitively is all, even tho their 2nd batch will still be the only Sia show in town.

What's the overall verdict. Pass or buy March batch? It's a gamble I know

They should have waited for 2 more weeks. Batch 1 A3s will be mining more by then..

There are another 3 timeslots for sale: 2AM, 5AM and 8AM EST.
I guess people are hesitating to buy these Sia Coin miners now.
I put one in the shopping cart and submit the order but I eventually did not buy, so my order has expired.
It is still available.

It is 11:25 and they still have it in stock and have not sold out. Do they want to dump a ton !! ??

Thanks a lot, that seems to be working, I changed the PSU, lucky, had a spare APW3++.

A3 is for sale again at 11PM EST

It might be serious I had that long time ago with my S5 .

reconnect everything and firm flash worked.

i had the same when first time plugged it - helped restarting router Check the all cables / lan / PSU. Turn off a3 / restart modem / turn it on

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately, didn't help, still rebooting.
