Title: BITMAIN IS OPENING PREORDERS FOR D3 TODAY AT 5PM (GMT+8)
Post by: BGRUN on August 10, 2017, 06:30:38 AM
They are releasing a new batch of the Antminer D3 DASH miner at 5PM on 10 August (GMT+8)

Why no one posted this ?
Everyone wants to order and resell it here ...
people go buy direct today  ;) ;) ;)
I would appreciate a thank you

is it worth it to get one? the difficulty already spiked like crazy today

ALSO HAVING SECOND THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING ONE, IT SEEMS LIKE DIFFICULTY WILL BE CLOSE TO 60 TH/S BY NOVEMBER DEPENDING ON HOW MANY MINER WERE SOLD IN EACH BATCH, THAT IS LIKE LESS THAN $5 A DAY ON THE MACHINE.

A FEW DAY AGO THE DIALY INCOME ON THE MACHINE WAS $200 AND NOW IT'S LIKE $155, IN JUST A COUPLE OF DAY.

WONDERING IF THE FIRST BATCH WAS DELIVERED ???

I think first batch went out or there testing new batch, i checked yesterday and it was still 200+ a day- now checking its 150, there was 2-3 batches sold inbetween which could have been leftovers from unsold units. im having second thoughts as well

don't rush D3+ are coming in September for December delivery thats why bitmain is clearing the D3 batches 1 week after the previous sale. The D3+ will be 30gh/s simiar to innosilicon A5 but priced at $2199

Where is all this D3+ info coming from ?
The D3 already eats 1200Watt.
In case they double the Asic-chips on that guy (thats how the L3+ was born) it will eat 2400 Watts.
Assuming they just double the ASIC-chips and size of D3, you have a franken-ASIC.
So the next possibility: bitmain has a more efficient ASIC-chip in their sleeves already.
If so, why did they release D3 at all ? If i read it correctly, bitmain has never done a NM-shrink so quickly.

All in all its not so likely for me. But who knows ;)
time will tell

I'd be interested in the source of this as well.

the history of the L3  and L3+ should be enough source to guess what'll happen next.

smaller chips

edit: they only liquidate their in house machines once they have more powerful stuff already in, and are clearing up rack space. If they're selling 15gh, they're running 30ghs already. If they sell 30ghs, use your imagination.

Another reason is once they clear an entire production line of a miner, and the profitability is rock bottom, people stop buying. They'll stop selling. At that point, they can liquidate hashed coins (by the millions) into bitcoin or fiat. Either for further investment into the company, or for pay-outs.

No hardware to sell, no reason to hold back & prop up the coin.

By smaller chips you mean a shrink of chipsize i assume.
The L3 had not had a shrink if i got that correctly. The hashing and the power exactly doubled.
If they had shrinked the chipsize (meaning the nm process) the l3+ imho should be more effective.

In the case of the L3 / L3 + the reason they could double it was because the L3 was using around 400 watts. Going from 400 to 800 watts with double power was easy.

However, the D3 already uses 1200 watts. If they doubled it, that would be 2400 watts in a unit which is unfeasible. They could probably develop the chips, but then that takes time too, much longer than you would expect.

Also, based on previous history, we should have an L3++ at 1200 watts or 750 gh/s but I do not see that yet.
