Title: Sia Obelisk ASIC - do or don't?
Post by: raskad on January 17, 2018, 07:31:37 PM
Does anyone have information on the upcoming Obelisk from Sia. Is it worth pre ordering?

Bitmain just crushed their competitors. Impressive.

Like everyone already here is saying, I also say that DO NOT! Not worth risking your money on this. :) It will probably be shit like D3 all over again...

Well, until other coins start using Blake 2B, even worse. At least you have cannabiscoin to mine with the D3 :)

I think bitmains A3 completely killed prospects for the obelisk... Thanks for the advise guys. And what about the dragonmint miner? On paper it's stiff competition for bitmains S9.

Nobody is sure if it's real. There's a thread full of smarter people than me discussing it.

You will wait too long for the tool above. the quality has not been tested real by the miners. better to buy a tool that has been tested and widely used by the miners. and choose a manufacturer that has been trusted and make delivery less than 2 weeks.
