So help me understand this, are you guys actually planning to run these even after they become unprofitable to do so in a couple months? lets say they go from netting $2 a day to netting -$2 a day. Do you plan to unplug? Or sink more money into them in hopes that the price of Dash will rise?

So I talked to colo. They haven't touched the miner and it is in the same spot connected as it has been for the past month+. I have been able to connect to the miner remotely through the IP without any issues for this past month. But for some reason now I can't get the IP address to load anything. The colo confirmed the static IP address is the same and hasn't changed. I can ping the IP address fine, and it is hashing away in the mining pool. Any ideas?

HAHAHAHA!!!!! If only it were that simple!!! Good one.

i recommended the same, few pages back.

all those retarded-OC 19.3Gh, please downclocked to 500 Mhz. On most miner the HW is almost negligible. Some recorded ZERO, yes 0000 HW errors.
This HW errors after downclock is due to the fans (some comes with Nidec, some with SJ and another one can't remember with yellow tag)
my best record is 5 days until it hit xxxxxxxxx, then a simple reboot did the magic, as usual.

Nope, I think I got took by the Sia coin folk. They promised their minerbox solution this last Summer ...no show

They said previously to this that coupons would apply to future Sia coin obelisk orders......(I have 5) now they

say only 1 coupon per unit ...I'm not getting another 5

They also will not allow a swap of a siacoin miner pre-ordered for this DCRD unit ........even thou same price

Lastly, they pop'd out this DCRD on like Nov 2nd or some such ...and will only allow it for pre-sale till Nov 24th

and are unclear WTF presale means...they still say they are gonna sell 4000 units of each

So out of my approx 12.5k invested...it is likely I will take a loss on these...with me looking at profit rate 50% to the  tax man, unless I found some equip to apply

that 50% too instead ...I'd pay either way...why not apply it to dubious equip at a 25% in real $$$ risk this year due to high tax on mining income? WTH?

this year..plus the 25% real $$ I can apply to equip deduction for taking all this equip off this year vs 5 years in not towards

taxes I KNOW I will have to pay anyway on top of that...

I'm down 25% (again in real $$ applied to taxes owed thisyear anyway) of this purchase price if the units never make 1c ..due to the above tricks..ie 25% risk over what I'd end up paying IRS w/no equp tricks

thus in real money applied....after taxes and all is said and done on the total $12,675.usd with shipping for the 5 sia obelisk units

I"m likely looking at a loss...if a complete loss (they don't ship) in real $$ of $3,162.50

Of course, I could get lucky and they could arrive and make enough on Sia coin and their ideas to get that 25% back

but I am dubious after the fact. They can't even get the calc on the www.obelisk.tech website correct

still shows a profit at old 100mh rate, not the supposed 300mh rate
 

I'm really out again $3,162.50 from my $12,650 investment...l

I took a shot and lost....this year I've been doing a lot of that ...... the same idea for the D3 ...out of 4k spent ...out 1k plus

the newbie getting equip under the above scenario it is 25% equip deduction off taxes due to IRS and the other 75% is all risk (because again newbie)

These are some of the reasons us 'old dogs' took a chance on the D3's and other dubious equip....we made so much $$$ on the 4.15 to 50 buck LTC rise

mining.....that is the circumstances this year...indeed likely a big result of why all ASIC's of any flavor are all off the shelf

but a new pup buying the stuff above like me ...2 D3's combined price of 4k plus and 12.65k for 5 obelisks...that would be dire indeed

The last point on the DCRD decred miner...my view is a mess of ASIC's hitting that coin will blow it up the same way the knc titan firmware patch

in 2014 allowed knc titans to mine scrypt-N instead of scrypt-pow coins too....blew up all-N coins to worthlessness in a month or so

too much hash ....too little $$$ and coin or protocol goes boom...this could be the case with Dcrd decred mineR and MAYBE x11 mining, both could go boom

pumping out ASIC toasters have consequences.....

Well I'm gettin around 14$/day on nicehash paid in bitcoin with 1 d3 the mh fluctuates between 17-19 but I don't really mine dash I only like to get paid in coins that are going up like btc...

Don't use UPS when you order from bitmain, my 6 L3+ have disappeared/been stolen by UPS in Oslo, Norway . I got my PSU.

as I said before in this topic:
if the so called D3+ can only do 17.5 Ghs I do think it's not worth it at all due to the hashrate increase we'll definetly see after the normal D3 batches.
just my 2 Mhs 

Anyone else get the impression Bitmain has been trying to push as many of these out the "presale" door as they can while they can, before the flood kills X11 profitability?

 PS - there's stlll some up of the most recent batch, guess folks are starting to pay attention and WORRY about "is this gonna make me ANYTHING by the time I get it".
