The same script doesn't work for S9 ?

I'm personally surprised Bitmain is still keeping prices so high on their L3++s even though they're destined to go the way of the D3 in terms of profitability. Falling coin prices right now don't help out much either. I could see the L3++ dropping to current A3 levels at ~$500 or even lower soon if Bitmain's in a rush to get rid of their machines.

Difficulty is going up just like Sandal_Hat mentioned too, there's a rise of about 8.13% predicted for the next difficulty period according to Bitcoinwisdom right now, and I imagine it's only going to go up. You'd have to be insane to buy one of these unless you have near-free electrical costs and a coupon.

Confirming that I received my batch 2 today.
I agree with the $10/Day per B3 estimation.
No announcements for batch 3 yet, right?

That would be in line with the 90-100 Day ROI we will likely see on these units.
A3 ROIed pretty quick if you HEDL, with recent market push.

Ive been watching the Bytom master repo and they've been busy crushing bugs lately.
If they can deliver on their plan to introduce an API for specific timeless Tensor functions, this could be a big enablement tool for ML/AI.
Understanding the BYTOM project requires a bit of understanding around the domestic growth of ML/AI tech in China.

Also, did anyone else catch the bit about Tensority being in compliance with gov. encryption RAs?
Interesting.

In my experience the APW3 pulls up to 100w more at the plug then similar higher quality PSUs

The VCU1525 schematics and bom are available for anyone to produce. I have already sat down with Xilinx (in Shenzhen) and negotiated chip pricing. If there is enough interest, I could facilitate a chip purchase, put the chips on boards and deliver them at a regular price of $4,000-$4,500. To hit a $4,000-$4,500 and stay at $4,000-$4,500 there would need to be at least 1,000 boards sold. If order volume went up to or over 10,000 units pricing could be dropped to $3,000-$3,500 per unit.

You would be able to use the device with the firmwares produced by whitefire990

Any interest?

Payment methods would be Crypto (obviously) and Credit Card / Paypal (identity verification would be required and shipping to your registered / verified address)


UPDATES:

The community seems to be uneasy that there is only one developer announcing they will be providing firmware for the VCU1525. We are considering building a 'shell' framework (like the AWS shell) that would allow any FPGA developer to compile encrypted code for our boards. We would provide a development environment (vivado) to the dev, provide the mining software, communication interface and facilitate fee collection on the devs behalf. If there are any FPGA developers who would be interested in building firmwares to be released to the community please contact me.

lol, nooobz were fooled by bitmain again   you won't even heat your house in winter with those z9 bricks as they consume only 300 w  

Looks like this is a good earner, but question remains. Has Antpool actually paid you guys out yet?

Thats correct, 0x08 gives a resolution of +/- 16 steps that should be sufficient for most tuning. If you really want to go up one step at a time for people that don't know hex...if your starting at 0x90 you would go 0x91, 92....99, 9A, 9B....9F, A0, A1 etc... but that is quite over kill since a single step changes the 12v input voltage by about 10mv, which translates to less than 1mv at the chip level (chip core voltage is input voltage/12).

I would like to have this mod on A3 too !

if they do  programmable asic. that might be a winner to everyone and GPU might die till then there is no way ASIC is good for much of any thing but destroying everything it touches because you can't reuse ASIC the way it is .

I"m a ware of how firm ware updates work with FPGA IVE done it a few times with some Script miners that supported it that were beast for there time .

Guys, All I did was just remove the connector of the Exhaust fan. My chips temperature is at 35 degree and I still feel cold air coming out through the exhaust fan(I did not unmounted the fan from Miner) one fan is enough and the Noise is almost 50% less and I am happy that no disturbance from miner

like i said before now look you can buy 50 unit per buy sigh .. it's all about the bottom line as usually and fuck the rest . an don't think bitmain has any intention of helping or caring they don't . all crops no matter were they are will hurt for the Bucks ..


Maybe if a new asic manufacturer creates a new monero asic, produces a 1000 or enough of it to control monero, then, gpu coins would stop.forking. it isnt easy to do but clearly is very possible.  
if they care like they claim they will keep fighting it .. and keep forking, it is easier to fork it then to make new ASIC hard ware to keep up with it ...not saying they won't try they will if there enough cash in it for them.

GPU mining won't die is my whole point an with the new Cards coming out who knows how much more it will do . it all costs . ASIC over time cost more and you need more to run over run it then with GPU . NOTICE I Said "OVERTIME" that's how bitmain works .

You are linking a chart of DIFFICULTY when everyone else is talking about HASH RATE.

They are two wildly different things. I think you are confusing yourself. Either that or you dont understand how crypto works.

I can give you facts and a 1000 different reason why but I'm not gonna try because reasoning with some one who only see it one way with no open mind is useless.

I bet you can't give me one solid reason why using ASIC Is better for every one and not just the rich .

I'm not saying don't buy ASIC do buy it but don't promote shit that takes from others that gives nothing back in turn, all for control and power which is greed when they can share it so everyone benefits which we should all want . if you think the limit on how many you buy is because they care think again all they care about is the bottom line.

It is a waste of time trying to explain greed to the greedily


OK ? ....




and the reason Bitmain won't balls to the wall it is because they know they don't know what may happen if we fight back and you can take on the big Crops an win.

where did you see 8.1 million sols? is 421 MH if im correct this is 421 millions sols/s

I'm tired of trying to explain, but let's go:

Devs wrote their whitepappers saying that they will be asic resistant, asic proof, they would change algo if needs

Bitmain and ALL Asics producers mined MONERO and dumped Asics to idiots because they knew of Monero FORK, look the hashrate of MONERO, it's disgusting this kind of behavior

They tried to sell used Asics as new

GPUs have 2 or 3 year warranty - Asics 180 days without refund

Not everyone can buy Asics, GPUs are easy to find and buy, everyone can join and make decentralization possible

Soon there will be only big farms with Asics, in a few hands

People like to say it's more efficient and will save energy, but remember Asics only mine one algo and when it's not profitable become a doorstep, GPUs when it's not profitable can be a part of PC gaming, office PC, and a lot of other uses

All stated above are FACTS.
