where is link for last updated for 20 gh speeD? Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


see my Pm to you...if you are getting anywhere near 18.5gh to 19gh on your unit you are doing great

the 20gh does NOT work on the 1st batch stuff that says 17.5gh ..it chokes if you try to set it as high as the 1499 unit versions in  those batches

I am getting 16 gh stable on 1st unit ($2.6k)

and about 18.5gh to 19gh on the 2nd unit ($1.5K)

total is 35gh more or less ...

anyway just saying

Bitmain is shipping my D3 but no tracking number of the PSU (November's batch) along side with it, great!

PSU's from Bitmain have been consistently 2-3 weeks after you get whatever bitmain product you order...has been that way since this last Summer

(bitmain: it is how we roll! evil rocks!) (tm bitmain)

lol, Im not turning off my D3 till they explode. You can make money if you try.


ditto.....I will run them at a loss....just in case...I ran KNC Titans at ALMOST a loss in 2014 on the hope LTC would come back

but mainly, it is because it is my toy...and I'll just run it in the ground out of spite...

(man, bitmain is giving me 'issues')

Not yet a monopoly, we have Caanan and Ebit at the moment Smiley

Bitcoin Gold Launch – 12th November 2017

https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-launch/

and with massive premine? because snapshot was 2 weeks ago?? Or where is the start block?

It's possible. It is difficult to conclude with certainty from their public announcements.
I guess we'll see when mainnet blockchain is publicly available.



free money for me...with the BTG snapshot.....so conflicted....have not moved any...it should fade in price in my view

but that obviously is not happening....btc forks may be the new way to make ALT COINS...why make an ALT that hits the world

at 2c, when you can fork off BTC and it is immediately based in $$$ not micro cents....

again, befuddled I am...

Well...just to wind this thread back to reality...(and the many toasters we have purchased and/or are coming)

here is today's mining results for x11 dash at 12c kwh for a 17.5gh unit at 950 watts..

Using What to Mine calculator and a variety of x11 coins listed below:


Currently, $6,96/day for Dash.

https://whattomine.com/asic?utf8=%E2%9C%93&factor%5Bsha256_hr%5D=14000.0&factor%5Bsha256_p%5D=1370.0&factor%5Bscrypt_hash_rate%5D=500.0&factor%5Bscrypt_power%5D=800.0&x11f=true&factor%5Bx11_hr%5D=17500&factor%5Bx11_p%5D=1900.0&factor%5Bqk_hr%5D=450.0&factor%5Bqk_p%5D=75.0&factor%5Bqb_hr%5D=450.0&factor%5Bqb_p%5D=84.0&factor%5Bcost%5D=0.12&sort=Profitability24&volume=0&revenue=24h&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=abucoins&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bitfinex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bittrex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bleutrade&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=c_cex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=cryptopia&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=hitbtc&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=poloniex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=yobit&dataset=Main&commit=Calculate



I still have the feeling..that I should setup the old PC Tower and put a mess of x11 sh*t coin wallets on there..and just multi-mine a crapload of x11 other than dash and hoard...

not that it would do any good but

1) I'd have lots of cryptos that would sound impressive (in my own mind) like I have 1 billion xxx coin..worht $12.83! USD!

2) The odds are NOT as good IMHO for DASH doubling as for some unknown currently overlooked sh*t coin, that probably exists now....(Helium x11, Helium x11..where for art thou!)

3) The tower would keep me busy and occupy my thoughts ...away...from the 'snake oil' salesman of Bitmain.....






Oh, good. Have more profit when run D3 with 17.5 Ghs and 950w. what is parameter you set for D3?



on prohashing I think you just set x=11 (my D3's are set out to a data hall...not hands on for them nor the L3+)

others? if this in incorrect....feel free to correct (at the edge of my 'supposed' setup skills...beyond 2015, which are suspect)

To all the people that are claiming the Baikal devices are FPGA miners- FALSE.

FPGAs have similar performance to GPUs, but just much less power consumption. Do your research before making statements.

Baikal's previous generation used 40nm nodes on their full custom ASIC process. They originally wanted to build out their design using 90nm nodes, but of course they wouldn't have been as competitive as iBeLink and PinIdea that were also releasing X11 miners. I can presume their current design uses 28nm nodes on their ASIC. Bitmain uses 28nm for the D3 chips.
To counter you argument, Kindly explain the following,
1. Expalin Quark and Qubit Algos
2. Do you think that Other Manufacturers like Bitmain are so dump to work that out.
Its a FPGA period.


Please do your own research.

Quark - uses 9 rounds of hashing from 6 DIFFERENT ALGORITHMS all of which are parts of the chained X11 algo- blake, groestl, bmw, jh, keccak, and skein.
Qubit - combination of luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo.

It's an ASIC period.
Try to explain these things to Bitmain, its look like they dont know that, Otherwise they will never let Baikalminer enjoy the privilege of being whole sole providers of MultAlgo miners. Don't give us false hope.
You give my answer
Qubit - combination of luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo. All of these algos are not th part of X11 than, you just prove my point.


Yeah, it may be possible for bitmain to make a multi-algo x11 solution, but IMHO, it would be a NEW miner and they'd expect us to pay 2.5k for the 1st batch again
They would simply use such an upgrade to make a better x11 unit and sell it as such as a replacement for the D3.

(bitmain: we do evil well!) (tm bitmain)


edit: Actually, I think this is very, very what they WILL do in the future....I'd give it 3 out of 4 odds of happening....not that I'd buy one ..just saying.....

(the last time I made this prediction it was about bitmain making x11 units....I'm gonna catch hell again, if this guess to is right) Sad

why do you need to separate the X11? pick a x11 coin and mine the thing to death, just don't expect to make money on dash.

Do you know what X11 even is? It is comprised of 11 mining algorithms, with over half being used in other coins.

Does this mean that the D3 will be profitable in the long run since you can mine so many different coins with it and you're not limited to just Dash?  So many bashing the D3 but it seems like a good miner long term.



Except all the x11 coins are worth less than Dash at the present time...thus in this post previously....maybe mine a mess of them and hold ..long odds

but $6.36/day dash and 4 or so of D3's still yet to hit the world and probably an equiv 30gh batches of Innsilicon A5 units to hit also

we could be looking at 20c a day from these after electric Smiley

As it seems that many people didn't pay attention to my previous explanation why MULTI ALGORITHM MINING CAN WORK:

X11 is a chained mining algorithm using the following algorithms to compute the final hash result: blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo.

That means that EACH of those algorithms can be used for mining SEPARATELY. In fact, making them all work together to produce an X11 hash is much, much more difficult than just getting the result of one of them. On an ASIC chip- lets use 28nm for reference- there are thousands of cores. Nearly all of the hashcores do mining, while the remaining small portion handles communication etc. Now, you allot a certain amount of hashcores to do each algorithm. For example, 300 for Keccak and 700 for Groestl (it is more intensive). At the end, you want a balanced hashrate on ALL groups of algorithms (eg; each group does 20GH of their algorithm). If you have 10 out of the 11 algos doing 30 GH but the last one doing 5 GH, your miner will have a final result of 4-5 GH X11 as the slowest performing algorithm becomes the hashrate bottleneck.

Bitmain needs to release a firmware upgrade that allows mining on the INDIVIDUAL GROUPS OF HASHCORES. That means they need to modify their version of cgminer such that it is able to tell the ASIC to run calculations on just one algorithm. Then patch their other programs to accommodate the modifications. That's it. All it takes is the WILL to help their buyers and a couple of developers.
.....Or they just release a whole new miner with these changes and call it D3+ and start the whole dance over again. This is what I think would be more likely based on what we know about our friends at Bitemain.


yep ...you nailed it! I'll bet if they continue with x11 that would be their next step....hell, the D3's they 'slam'd' out to us,  would completely fund such a equip upgrade to a new product

you called it!

Hi guys,

Any suggestions for most profitable Scrypt multipool at the moment, anything giving better profits than Nicehash?


Prohashing when it works..is like your hot mess supermodel girlfriend...when it works its great..when it does not you are beyond despondent Sad

I keep hanging in there...because mining x11 and scrypt all to LTC...I figure by the time I figure fees to mine BTC and convert and etc

I'd pretty much be in the same boat ..multipool wise

IT however was crap yesterday..sometimes they refund some hash back....we will see

And even if all that were possible, none of it changes the fact that if bitcoin’s primary use is for speculation rather than transaction, the energy wastage serves very little constructive social purpose at all.


Silly or not ....BTC allows WEALTH TO BE HELD IN VALUE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN, rather than thru a bank or institution and regulated

thus sure, like paper money, it is a SOCIAL construct determining worth and value, by those involved who HODL and the only 21 million coin cap

this social construct, like money backed, that is working also by banks etc, just seems to be working quite well  OUTSIDE  of any system of elite control

and BTC is driving the previous status quo NUTS as a result Smiley

NOW, there is consensus (for the near future) thus......the only thing in BTC's way now is no longer 'internal' strife of a major note

but just the usual , adoption and real world FUD

I expect the Alts bucket to fill up for a bit ....catch up ..and then hopefully, btc will pump to 10-11k as folk state by say March 1st 2018

Actually, I think there is more drama incoming. Just wait until the Bitcoin Cash guys start their marketing push. They're already giving us a taste, with Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, Calvin Ayre, Kim Dotcom, Craig Wright/Jon Matonis and others shilling for them.

Now that 2X is out of the way and the CEOs that backed it are probably feeling salty, BCH is the obvious answer for them. The chart looks healthy, too, as much as I hate to say it. My guess is that the next major FUD/attack/competition will come from that angle.


I think BCH will just be a fork....of Bitcoin. In fact, I see many forks's of this type....why make an ICO? (soon to be regulated or illegal) why make an ALT coin from scratch and start out with it as a penny and years to gain price? .... why start any coins with a new protocol or hardware like x11 when you can just make a snapshot and jump your coin off the bitcoin fork..

By forking of Bitcoin, using Bitcoin Gold as an example of how not to do something like this prudently, your vaporware (IMHO) ALT coin fork, like Bitcoin Gold, hits the world in $ and not just cents per coin.....

why would you make an ALT coin today in any other manner..then just fork off Bitcoin?

Thus, BCH will be the first Bitcoin ALT fork of many, many to come...like it or not ...but won't replace BTC any of them...

anyway, how I see it panning out
