But what about the poor CPU miners, maybe they should take it one step further and make everything on par with CPUs. Wouldn't that burst your bubble...
Be honest... Do you think they would actually do that? I doubt it... Main reason why they would not is they would alienate their community once again. [Talking about ZCash]. Why not, what do you have against CPU miners? CPU miners matter.... Why do I have to have something against them? I have nothing against them, I mined plenty of shitcoins with CPUs back in the day. I don't either... Just wondering why you're trying to put words in my mouth as if I had something against them? I too mined bitcoin with CPU and GPU back in the day. Not as serious then as I am now. But I did... Then lighten up. You know nothing you can say is going to keep people that already bought the mini from using them. When the larger unit comes out, it will either sell well because there is money to be made or it will end up like the D3. Where they can't give them away. It's kinda like death and taxes, you can bitch all you want about it but there is really nothing you can do. We just have to let it play out. |

Haters gonna hate.
I don't "hate" any of you or Bitmain. "Hate" is a harsh word. If this is your way of trying to make yourself feel better about Bitmain having a Z9 that's NOT "mini," then be my guest and pat yourself on the back. What is the delivery date and cost of the Z9JUMBO? Since you are like my wife and know everything |

All this constant forking is going to do is encourage Bitmain to develop more efficient FPGA's instead. Then when a major coin forks away, they just update the firmware. Sorry, Bitmain survived and thrived after the 2014/2015 bear market. They are too big now and we are just going to have to put up with them. Our only hope is some genius comes along and develops a better chip that blows them out of the water and/or finds a way to build massive farms for cheaper electricity. Only problem: we are probably going to end up hating that company too.  MEET PROG PROOF OF WORK THAT ALSO RENDERS FPGA's on an even keep with GPU's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6B-ZCyP6K8&t=4s. It doesn't mention FPGA's in that video. However, if you go to the link on Reddit underneath the video and read in what developers discuss, you'll see it also renders FPGA's on an even keel with GPU's. |

But you know what, I know what I'm getting with the mini.. One is less noise!! So my 3 mini's will do the same as 1 Z9. |

I see the messages tracing the premine are gone. Good luck with this turd!!

This was never a project. It was a SCAM!! You can't deposit or do anything at the exchange, because this was never a real coin!!

You know, you're always bitching about Bitmain. But yet GPU mining farms are buying cards by the 747 full. Give AMD and NVidia their best profits ever. The manufactures just card about making money, any way they can.

Decentralized mining... hmmm, so everyone is solo mining? I must be doing this wrong...  Well, Han is Solo mining. and don't tell him the odd of finding a block!! That you know of. |

Nah, I like the sheer entertainment value!! I want my Z9's!!! Come on Bitmain, start shipping!!!
ROFL... As you know, no disrespect intended. No "personal" attack intended. I simply see the Z9 as a risk I'm not willing to take. I have yet to see an ASIC I'm willing to risk investing in since I sold my S7's. My GPU's proved to be more profitable than ASIC. More importantly, I'm all about "decentralized" mining; which is still dominated by Bitmain. Might as well call it BITMAIN mining instead of ASIC mining.  and GPU mining is dominated by AMD and Nvidia.. Same shit different day |

Just had mine delivered. I cannot get it working with the ZEC pool's for Suprnova or Slushpool. Error is something related to "extranonce"..
On Antpool, the "dashboard" after 20+ minutes shows nothing - so although am getting some shares accepted, I can't see assurance from Antpool's dashboard that they are being recorded..
The fact that this doesn't work on all pools is a bit disconcerning!
Well, looks like their so-called "testing" before shipment wasn't done very well. Looks like you'll have to wait for a driver update to mine on other pools. In the meantime, BITMAIN will earn more coins from you by forcing you to mine on THEIR pool. I knew sooner or later you would show up here. LOL... Just put him on your ignore list.

The first 77 have shipped...
Yeap, got my tracking number early this morning. Mine won't ship for a bit, please post results when you get them. |

I have been using ViaBTC, but only making .01 DASH per day I ended up shutting off the miner.

and see, people with different opinions can discuss a topic without resorting to name calling. Have a great day!!

I think Baikal has the right idea, manufacture a machine that can do many algos. Also the FPGAs are just starting to come out. Right now they can so the same algos ASIC resistant GPUs. Once the prices start coming down they will pose a serious threat to GPUs and ASICs.
I have a X11 X3 that is making more per day then a L3+ right now, and people called the X3 a doorstop.
If you look back, every year someone comes out with a faster miner. I have had Bitmain, Avalon, and a host of others, I mine for a while then sell them off. I'm a hobby miner, I'm not in it for the big bucks. As long as I'm making something to cover the electric (yes ComEd loves me) I'm happy. When BTC and the ALTs were at their high, there is no way I would even think of buying a miner.
I did buy 3 of the Z9 minis and a couple E3s at the cheap price. I will fire up the Z9 and see what they will produce, the E3s will be flipped.
There is so much wrong with crypto today, the biggest problem is scammers, DEVs who create coins to rip off people. Scams for miners that will never happen, Masternode scams and scam exchanges. These problems are hurting crypto way more then real manufactures coming out with new miners for ASIC resistant algos. They are making them because people will buy them. They are in the business to make money. Scammers are in the business of ripping people off.
What is going to happen is going to happen, you or me are not going to change it. If some farm in China calls BM and says I want 10,000 machines for XYZ algo you think BM is going to tell them NO, THAT'S A GPU ONLY ALGO? Hell no!!
I agree with most of what you said, only one part, do you think a coin can have value if it's mined by 2-3 megafarms? If it didn't they wouldn't be mining it. It's all about the profit you know. Do you think if BTC dumped back to $500 these farms would still be running? |
