Don't buy at all time highs even though it may be tempting to do so. Buy in the dip when you think it is going to go to the floor. You have to take emotions out of it if you want to make gains over the long term.

Here is my wild estimate / speculation on batch size:
Batch 1 early September: 2000
Batch 2 late September: 1000
Batch 2: 3000
Batch 3: 5000
Batch 4: >5000
more likely, september batch both of them 3k october batch 3k early november batch 5k late november 1st batch 20k late november 2nd batch 20k check this tread from start till end and will get same numbers i just hope that numbers and method for determining number of units for sell is wrong Everyone is speculating about this huge november batch because of this 30,000 sold number. I remember buying and not paying and it took away from that number, so who really knows how much were released. 20,000 is quite a bit to sell though isn't it? Those high 20k numbers are probably legit. When they were selling the units we were able to see how many were left by looking at the web site source code. I remember seeing the in the 18,000's. None of us will really know what the amount will be until we see the hashrate go up. |

You'll also have watch out for phishing attacks. I'm sure they got email, names and addresses. Change your password at bitmain and any other sites you may have used it. Since you are involved in crypto coins you'll be a target for attacks since most of us are our own banks  |

by November, I'll be extremely surprised if it isnt in the 5-6 mil range. it'll be +18 mil with the d3s. |

Last batch FINALLY sold out sometime this morning - think it lasted 2 days or so.
Not sure if it was that much bigger of a batch (which it going to KILL X11 coin profitability if so once this batch gets shipped installed and mining) or if folks were looking at the probable returns and a lot decided it was an inferior option....
Our friend that said the last batch was going to be in the 30,000 range was right. Another fellow found a way to check their stock visible in the source code of the sight. Last I cheeked it was in the 18,000 range and that was a few days ago. Pretty big batch. However, dash did just jump up in value today. If it keeps going up it could offset some of the increased hashrate for profit. |

there is still 12949 units remaining units in last batch....  Hi, where this number come from? Simply you can chcek the web side code on product page and search for "remain" Now I can see this values: <input type="hidden" id="productRemainCount" value="11746" /> they have more to sell: <input type="hidden" id="productRemainCount" value="18257" /> Probably a lot of expired orders or unpaid orders. Good catch on the view source. |

Bought couple of units, probably was a bad a idea. Did some forward projections with last 8 weeks as a past sample size, looks like we will lucky to make 10 bucks a day when the November batch comeouts for D3
That is about what I came up with also is we will be lucky to see $10 a day out of these... And that may be a little to o optimistic. All depends on how many miners they are shipping from each of the vendors and what Bitmain is going to be shipping. Maybe you'll catch a break if Bitmain sales choke off the sales of the other miners. Hard to know. I know my Baikal's are just getting destroyed already so I don't think they will continue to run for a lot longer with the way things are collapsing already. I don't think it will be nearly that bad and I'm optimistic it will actually be much better. If I'm completely wrong and it only mined exactly $10/day indefinitely (for the sake of easy math), it would still only take 7 months (216.5 days) to reach 100% ROI @ $0.10/kWh ($2.88/day in electricity = $7.12/day profit). If that's the worst case scenario, then this seems like a REALLY good bet to me. Sure mate because coz we all know ROI always will stays constant at 10 bucks a month and difficulty and all other factors wont reduce it. lol! $10/day was the number that was suggested, I just ran with it. Nobody actually believes the profit per day will stay constant. I think it will actually be much better than $10/day. So do lots of other people apparently. We could all be wrong, but I prefer to be optimistic. Full disclosure: I don't have a crystal ball. Fair enough I see what you mean... In my high level feeling, only people making money out of this is Bitmain and the re-sellers Don't get too discouraged. Dash may take off and go up to $500 or something. I think you all will make some decent coin out of the miners. Last time I bought mining equipment bitcoin was around $150. Now it is $4000. I would have never guessed it would have gone up so much in a few years. |

Well, 45 min and I guess we'll find out if the "unexpected technical difficulties" have been taken care of or not. 😀
Smart money is on NO. lol. Already not working... They should implement a simple refresh timer .... that would prevent all this b.s. or learn to dynamically scale their presence when traffic increases when they have a purchase event. They've had some experience with this. I do love Bitmain, but they could do this part better. |

Does anyone have any idea how many D3s are going to be released in the past 3 batches? I was doing some calculations on difficulty and hashrate and came up with 1 GH/s adds about 22.5 to difficulty. So, one D3 would add 337.5 at 15 GH/s. I'm trying to see if it would be worth getting some in their next release.
Rumor has it; Batch 1 = 200 units Batch 2 = 3200 units Batch 3 = 3500 units If so....by your calculations an additional 2,328,750 Difficulty from current? yep, that's not including their mining equipment or anyone else coming online before Nov. |

lol, missed the boat on those orders. Just woke up to the sold out message. That was a quick sell out. Gratz to you all that got an order in You can always pay little bit more and buy "ready to pay" order... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2060485.0Or we can let all these "ready to pay" orders expire and buy them at retail when bitmain puts them back up for sale Yes 100% i think its such a rip off where people are jumping on the band wagon like this.. i hope Bitmain sorts this out... They will once they realize in their next batch all of their units will get sucked up by these people and no one pays. They will get tired of not being able to sell their hardware when they want to +1 on that. This order scalping is out of control. I'd rather miss the boat and keep my coins than perpetuate this nonsense. |

Why is there so much FUD surrounding this miner? Does the same thing happen to all antminers released?
yes, always fudsters. Just do the math on the profitability and follow your head on it. |

perhaps it would be more fitting if they were human centipede-d into a circle so they might spend eternity swallowing nothing but each others' shit... perhaps
+1 to that. Looks like their dream isn't working out. |

All this stuff about Sweden having strict laws is a joke.
Everyone has a price. |

Let's not forget this "brilliant" prediction last May as to what the price of bitcoin would be in December 2014   I assume Scam has assured all the investors that it'll hit these number soon and they are going to make bank. As it's now February, people might be getting twitchy? So I'm happy for btc to remain low all year, just so these VC guys implement their "exit strategy" and take kfc to the cleaners  Come on VC's, time to take these smelly cowboys to the cleaners! Clean up Sweden! Save your investment and flush these cowboys out of existence They must be keeping the dream alive and have become tolerant to the Hole stench. I truly wonder if the VC money that they robbed was another dumb money ploy to some gullible VCs. I've seen this first hand when I advise my execs against investing in something and they get the gloosy eyed "gotta have it" look and jump right in. |

BTC Guild will be shutting down its mining servers on June 30th, 2015 at 23:59 UTC.
Eleuthria, understand your decision, a real shame to see the pool close ... as others have said ... thank you for your service to the BTC community over the years. The clock is ticking quicker ... home and smaller miners ... R.I.P. Unfortunately centralization is happening  Much agree ^^ Thank you so much e for being a good, honest sort and running a solid pool. Wish you the best in the future and hope we see you lurking around here from time to time. |
