1001  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How do I buy from bitmain? on: August 27, 2017, 11:34:41 PM
I.) Follow Bitmain on Twitter

II.) Wait for a new version of the respective preferred miner (much better efficiency)

III.) Wait, wait, wait... 

IV.) Stay hungry and keep your bitmains homepage open at least one hour before the sale starts. Keep refreshing...

V.) Buy it and have fun.

I hope it helps.

All the best

LMAO!!!! ALL TRUE! Awesome post!! ( you forgot; stay up all night for a week straight )

Many of getting this problems, May be L3+ have weak hardware, There are many complaints about L3+ miner on the forums and websites. I also got problem in 3 week. And aslo difficulty increased soo much. We dont get earn more but, Bitmain company Earning Super. We are the fools, buying the miner.

I've found complaints on forums to be a bad indicator as to how reliable a product is. The vast majority of people without problems don't post. To date, we've received 110 AntMiner L3+ units straight from Bitmain. Thus far, we've only identified 1 bad hashing board. It's obviously still a young product, but we're finding them to be much more reliable than the S9 series.
This is a great post Ross. Thank you for that endorsement based on experience. I was suspecting as much.

anyone else notice a sharp drop in nicehash profitibilty today for scrypt mining? My dashboard is showing a drop of 50% ... this is crazy!!

The nicehash profit calculator still reports profits of $1600/mo for one L3+ which is twice it's actual profits ($800/mo).

Has something happened to nicehash? You're not the first to report this today.


I have 16 L3+ machines connected to nicehash ... was getting profitibility of 0.14-0.16 bitcoin per day ... which was pretty much what was predicted on the dashboard, since the payout this morning my expected  profitibilty shows as 0.08-0.10 bitcoin for the next 24 hours no change with machines etc .. Hash speeds are between 7500 - 8300 (total of 16 machines).

You didn't answer his question. You just used it to try and impress people in an anonymous forum, with your number of miners. Pretty pathetic.

I don't think he was trying to impress people, he was just sharing his experience to provide more feedback about the problem that people are having.
Then he wouldn't have stated the number of units he has. It's an ego problem, very common in today's human species.

Why would he go out of his way to leave that detail out? He'd have to recalculate profitability, hash speeds, etc. Plus, the number of miners could have an affect on the problem. He probably wasn't trying to impress people, he was trying to report accurate information. If you took it that way, maybe it's because you're so obviously envious?
That's pretty funny. I'm not taking that bait. Not envious I can assure you. I don't have a soft flagging ego either so I won't be regaling the forum with any reasons why. I'll just let you pretend "masters of the universe" get back to your little circle jerk. It's moderately amusing.

Guys, if you scroll through several of the online Calculators, most of them do NOT have the correct difficulty entered in their spread sheets. The online calculators are the worst I've ever seen them. Check them manually.

What do you think those miners will do once they start poping BCC blocks? Hold them like bitcoins? They'll just dump it all for bitcoins crash the price and come back to business as usual.

yeah right, 12.5 bitcoin cash per block?  Have you seen the trading volume?  It is fucking HUGE compared to 12.5/ block.  Miners aren't going to crash anything.  

thus making lot of profits and making common man loss a lot of money in this pump dump game.

Just more and more of getting fucked by the man!!!



Just 5 more blocks and BCH passes BTC!!!!
Just the way you like it huh cumbelcher.
1008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC chain is losing hash rate fast on: August 22, 2017, 02:54:16 PM
I have a pending BTC transfer from Bittrex to Coinbase that is now 3 hours old and still not verified. This leaves a fairly large window of risk where I am not able to liquidate the BTC. 3 hours is a long time in BTC price world. This is 2.5 times longer than my previous longest. The fee was quite substantial as well. Definitely got my attention.
Took long enough to get your attention.  Some people are a bit slower than others.  Soon, everyone will figure it out. 
You're a punk ass little bitch. The world has plenty of obnoxious worthless  assholes like you that bring nothing to the game. Do the world a favor and blow your worthless fucking brains out. Do your parents as well, because you were clearly raised by a couple of retards.
1009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC chain is losing hash rate fast on: August 22, 2017, 02:22:39 PM
Only 100 blocks remain before BCH is a longer chain than BTC!!!  That is crazy amount of hash power moving away from the Bitcoin Core chain.  Are you worried about this?

yeah i am very worried about this.
bitcoin is dead, last bitcoin block was #481,611
meanwhile last Litecoin block was #1,262,901
and it doesn't stop there, last Dogecoin block was #1,852,715
last Reddcoin block was also #1,859,193

bitcoin is the smallest coin ever because other chains are longer. very good way to measure things. we are in a dick measuring contest right? Grin

Someone is fooling around with other coins. But btc is still the most reputable and prominent. Surely this change of heart isn't for forever and miners will come back
Yes, as soon as the BTC diff drops and the profitability comes back in line.

No one cares. Stop posting your childish drama in these threads. It has NOTHING to do with the thread topic. All your posts should have been deleted already.

Cheesy  You're an idiot.

"Stop posting childish drama" he says... as he posts childish drama.

To the people that have PM'd me about this, I will do my best to help.  If I see any positive change to my order status I'll outline the specific steps I took to make that happen.
You spend your whole life on a forum, spewing your delusion and paranoia all over the board. Crying to strangers like a little bitch, about your perceived persecution and  the big bad Bitmain company whose sole purpose in life is to rip you off. Really you're an insufferable little punk and a spineless piece of shit. If you were in prison, which I suspect at some point you will be because you're so stupid, you would be the one in the corner of the cell block known as the community "receptacle" of all the other inmate's sexual desires.

I'm completely new at BitcoinTalk, just spent the last 2 hours reading most of the lasts poata of
This thread. I need advise from someone who is not really emotional but objective.

I bought 4 D3 1 from a Reseller (oct batch) at $4.000 and 3 straight from Bitmain at $1450 each (November batch)

The first one I got was a rookie mistake but what's done is done, my question is:

What would you do in my position, would you try to resell the machines ? Or
Just keep them. I guess one of the things in my favor is I'm in Venezuela and electricity bills are
Virtually FREE.

My friend who actually introduced me to the mining word said
Similar speculations were made with L3's and as it turns out
It hasn't been bad at all.

What are the real possible scenarios here? I'm in no rush
Of getting ROI this year but I certainly wouldn't wanna wait over a year
To get my $9,000 back, in that case I would rather  Invest in my current field
(Social media).

I await for your kind replies. Thank you. Have a nice day
If your costs are nill as you say, just mine them. The last batch took almost three days to sell out at $1500USD. It's highly unlikely you can resell them for near what you paid to the reseller. You say you paid $9,000.00? My math based on what you told us is you spent $20,350.00 no?? 4 X $4,000.00 + 3 X $1,450.00. Fire them up and work them. You'll get your money back. It won't take a year with low electricity. I feel like worst case scenario, you'll make $450.00 per month per unit. If that's true, 6.5-7 months and you'll be whole again and mining profits. Good luck.

I just tried emailing a few random firstname.lastname@bitmain.com addresses of known employees to see if any of them get to someone who can help me get my order fiasco sorted out.  If any of that goes well, I'll be removing my angry anti-Bitmain rants so don't be surprised if a bunch of my messages disappear, that would mean things went well.

OMG I found someone that replies to emails at Bitmain.

This is a promising step.  Fingers crossed.  Thanks craft_mine!

I was just watching a vlog about the pressure out of BTC into the alts due to the blocks being full and the network fees have gone to the moon.  So everyone is looking at Dash, ZEC, BCC/BCH, XMR.  The pressure is on and people are shifting away from BTC because they have slowed the network to a crawl and are charging large fees to get anything processed.

So this may tie in with the sudden shift at Bitmain to Scrypt and X11 mining.  Could be an interesting correlation there that should be taken note of.  Now is probably a good time to move a little BTC over to BCH/BCC, Dash, XMR, ZEC and others who have addressed some of these issues that Bitcoin Core appears to be completely missing the boat.

This keeps up and Dash may be at $500 or higher by the end of the year.  BCC/BCH has jumped and wouldn't surprise me to see it continue as they are decreasing diff on that coin so it is going to be more profitable to mine than BTC if I understand the easing they are planning for Bitcoin Cash.

Exciting times for the alts, Core is about to see a mass exodus as they have lost touch with the mandate, mission, the reason for BTC's existence...
Very good points and observations. As Confucius said, "May you live in interesting times"....These are truly interesting times.

NO conspiracy's, NO scams, No dirty deeds. Just your polluted lens of life. Get help. You're very dysfunctional.

Like I said, go read their support forum.  A lot of people looking through that same lens these days.

And yes, BTC is a scam.  It's a scam within a scam wrapped up in more scams.  It's the tur-duc-ken of scams.  You don't even know who came up with it.  Satoshi = 'Source of middle intelligence'?  Sounds like CIA to me.  Everything they do is a scam.  ...but that's wildly OT.

As I said, I don't doubt that there was a time that Bitmain was reputable.  Apparently, it worked out for you.  Good for you.  That doesn't do me any benefit though. 

And your statement lost all credibility when you said 'No scams' and 'No dirty deeds'.  Antbleed?!?  BCC?!?  Not to mention the numerous conversations I've had with people who have been burned, hard, by Bitmain.  Obviously there are some scams, some dirty deeds.  Your denial of that just makes your 'no conspirac{ies}' statement look false too.
You're a delusional idiot. Really. Take a flying F$%k at a rolling donut. You are a worthless POS.

Sorry....off topic here of late.........but I'm in the US, and wondering does the PSU's come with a plug for 110 or 220, or do you have to specify?
You have to buy your own power cord. Because they ship to locations all over the world and many have different electrical codes and specs. They are cheap and easy to find.

If what you're saying about your personal situation is true, you've broken every investment rule there is. Why would you take that kind of risk and debt over something so speculative??? I urge you to seriously rethink your tactics. Very dangerous stuff.

The economy is terrible where I'm at.  I have to find a way to make some sort of steady income (I already do freelance programming on elancer sites, and it's great when its there but not steady enough).  

And to be fair, if Bitmain had actually provided the product I paid for, I would be very much ahead.   The risk is 'doing business with Chinese based businesses that rip off non-Chinese customers with impunity'.  Clearly, that's a huge risk, but there was no other way to get the hardware.  I already have the best miner I could get on ebay for any reasonable price, and it's not good enough.

Besides, you realize you're giving 'investment advice' about Bitcoin right?  It's one big scam wrapped up in a bunch of little ones.  Bitmain will crater the whole thing.
Bitcoin a scam?? I give up. You're hopelessly jaded and very uneducated in this protocol. You're spewing lies, speculation and conjecture without basis. I have purchased several products from Bitmain and you are wrongly accusing them. They are a very good company that cares about their customers. They just happen to have the good fortune to be buried with demand and the growing pains are very challenging. I am very thankful for Bitmain. They are head and shoulders above any alternative. What you're experiencing is just the difficulty they are having with their rapid growth. NO conspiracy's, NO scams, No dirty deeds. Just your polluted lens of life. Get help. You're very dysfunctional.

greyworld, really sorry to hear about your troubles. Do you know that Bitmain intends to go public soon? Since reputation is very important for a successful IPO, it makes no sense for Bitmain to scam here and there on some orders. They will be losing money on their public offering many times more if they scam you for 1 or 2 bitcoins. Are you absolutely sure that you paid Bitmain and paid on its official site? There are a lot of scammers that use nearly identical addresses.

Yes, I'm sure.  Bitmain has confirmed as much (see below).

If you placed an order on Bitmain site, then you should immediately get an email asking for an exact payment amount. The email should be only from webmaster@bitmaintech.com

If it is from someone else, it is a scam.

Yes, I know.  Oddly enough, the scammer was of more help than Bitmain's actual employees though.

If you placed your order on Bitmain and you have proof of payment, then no worries  - you will get your miner and will profit many times more. Check your order history on Bitmain, and open a support ticket with the transaction ID from bitcoin blockchain. I hope this helps you. If not, reply, and we all will figure out how to help you.


I've opened at least 6 support tickets.  The people who respond generally ignore my question, paste some boiler plate response unrelated to what I actually said, change the title/topic of my support request and mark it 'solved'.  Then they leave, and they do not return.  The last response I got from anyone was them spamming me about buying a D3.




The only reason Juliana ever 'found my money' was I called a Bitmain business associate and basically begged them to help me.  Those fine people (who will remain unnamed so they don't get flooded with similar requests) responded within 4 hours, immediately made a phone call for me, and 5 minutes later, my money was found.  But then... nothing else happened on my order.

I took out a loan to pay for this, a loan I am now paying off.  Bitmain took my money, and if they bought bitcoin with it the day I sent it, they have more than doubled that money, while I pay interest on it and make nothing.  I wish I had never placed my order and simply bought BTC and held onto it, my loan would be paid and I would be $1000 ahead.  Instead, Bitmain has put me in a position of 'do I pay the bank, or do I buy food'.    It's a little late for 'no worries'.   I'm pretty worried about this.
If what you're saying about your personal situation is true, you've broken every investment rule there is. Why would you take that kind of risk and debt over something so speculative??? I urge you to seriously rethink your tactics. Very dangerous stuff.

was placing an order today,after I read here that it was sold like no stop 18,000 units- the diff will go to the moon.
there is other coins that can be mined with this x11 or you must work with vitamin pool which is just dash mining.
or any coins that use x11 can be mined with this machine.
sorry for the stupid question I'm just only in the gpu mining world.
its make sense that I can use this miner in any pool and any currency with x11 also,but how you do it if its not a computer

Fair question, i ask same thing not so much time ago.
U can mine every X11 algo with D3, u manage D3 on php with IP on your subnet.
On past, some builder release firmware upgrade that let you mine other algo, future gona give us answer Wink
You're fine brother. You can point it at any X11 coin. There are several to choose from. Also look up the switching pools. They will automatically point your hash at the most profitable coin at any given time. No worries man. These miners are as "plug and play" as it gets. There are several YouTube videos that can help you get it set up and hashing away. " So easy a Caveman can do it ".  Cheesy
