Well from my previous posts...it looks like NO L3+ units will be sold in the wee hours of China at our time of 4 am. (China Time 5pm CDT)

They seem??  to be only selling the Antminer D3 X11 miners then

Unless they drop the price again..it is unlikely I will get any..myself

anyway a heads up ..that I don't think the L3+'s are dumping on THAT day at least.

(the ways of bitmain are mysterious to me)

by the by the bitcoin cash alt that 'shall not be mentioned' is up 10% wtf?

(so confused...the longer I'm in crypto .the more stuff to become 'clueless' about......can't keep up)



Some people just aren't that into SegWit, it seems.

19.75% rise! Sheesh.......well, I guess a floor of this stuff at $200 bucks is possible now...who'd a thunk it?

So again, I'm richer on paper it seems....(now that I uttered the words...that will change the wrong way ..rapidly...oops) Smiley

getting more and more befuddled about all this stuff.....tulips....dreaming of tulips....(the horror) Sad



Bcash price was 10% bitcoin, now it's 7%. How is that a rise?


Ah...I take your point......then again I expected it to be $12 today..which is why I'm still a 'wage slave' .. Sad

4143  Economy / Economics / Re: So this will be interesting... Bitcoin to insane valuations on: August 07, 2017, 08:37:04 AM


Yeah...insane valuations...I was commenting on the rapid rise August or so of 2016..when the value of BTC was $650 usd or some such.

Damn.....it's getting hard to mentally keep up Smiley

tripled in value, just this year...with all the seg witness FUD and drama

Be nice if they all played nicely from now on....no more FUD and the Seg Witness +2mb fork goes through w/o controversy ...

(what am I saying ..it is a bunch of silly nerds that love to get in slap fights about BTC stuff..that will never happen)

I crack myself up...

oh well, preparing for the next round of FUD, whatever that may be..or whenever for that matter...

(the wheel of FUD turns round and round)

Anyway, kinda impressed with all the BTC drama..it is doing as well as it is doing.......what price would it be w/o any FUD constraints of note within

the last year...staggers the mind ..again imho.

well is there gonna be a bitmain sale this am at 4am or 5am again in china? (I think that has been the time for them?)

anyone?

Not sure I'll get anything..wondering




No twitter update so far... plus they are saying its all sold out... unless they have some unpaid going back on sale. not sure.

Any idea of the time (the calcs I always seem to get wrong) I think it was 4 am or 5 am for the last 2 sales CDT USA

figured I'd watch...maybe they lowered prices on stuff again (doubtful) Smiley



You are right its very confusing they say China 5 PM that is 4 AM CST but on their twitter they also say GMT + 8 which is 3 AM CST our time.

to be safe its better to check both... doubtful if they lowered the prices plus they seem to be sold out.. only thing they might be selling is unsold/unpaid inventory for wire transfers that would be today


Edit: I think they are getting messed up with DST (daylight savings time)


Ok.I got a system now that I found the twitter feed

https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

I then go to google and do 'China Time" Presently it says the time in China at 3:03 pm ..thus as best I can tell that is if they release the units at
5 pm as the tweet said THE LAST BATCH THEY RELEASED INTO THE WORLD....AGAIN YESTERDAY ...er not talking about THIS am ..which looks unlikely in no twitter msg.

anyway 5 pm China Time is in 2 hrs from NOW here..thus if they continue to release this stuff at 5 pm China Time...it will be 4 am Central Daylight Time in the USA

as best I can figure..using google to show present China Time ...add hours to 5 pm their time ..to your local time...that should do it Smiley

correct me if I"m wrong....

again at least I'm on the ball with the twitter feed..now something to watch

I am pretty 'unclear' if I'm gonna get an L3+ say for 2,900 usd with year of elec and shipping etc for ROI....or a D3 miner with difficulty going nuts...even at 1600 usd

but again ...I may get one...just to have a 'stop gate' on any further purchases....ie...the last one you got was dumb...so stop already.....I have to trick

myself often...or I'd buy everything not nailed down ..asic wise....(it's an addiction...) Sad



So was there a batch or not? Did anyone buy it?

does NOT SEEM to be a batch today...no twitter info....see above...unless it is a surprise in 1/2 hour Smiley

anyway ...twitter feed above...do a google China time....supposedly they have been dropping batches at 5 pm China time...do the math with your local time

and cross your fingers


Now if they would just drop the price by 1K like the D3 miner...I'd be all over it Smiley

At the current pricing ...er ...not sure I'll even get ONE....alas

Are they announcing when these batches go on sale anywhere?  I think I could risk it at the reduced price if another batch came up with the same shipping time frame.

 They announce it - on their twitter feed and with LESS THAN 24 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE more often than not.
 Same as recent announcements on the L3+ and the S9 (but the S9 takes more like a DAY to sell out, not less than an hour).




The link below they announced it like 3 hrs before on twitter...so I'm watching it now..but about 2hrs till 5 am China their time...so unless they forgot to announce it on twitter 3 hrs ahead....like last time.it is unlikely..they will have anything today ....nothing on the feed below

note on the link below the time they announced it and the time the hit the world ...lol...man zoom, zoom about 3hrs notice on the last batch of stuff out the door

https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Anyway, at least I know about this feed now and can lurk...I'm still unsure if it makes any sense (god help me I'd need a price pump of LTC to 75 bucks and equiv for other
pow scrypt alts) .....at approx 2,900 bucks with electric for 1 year and shipping etc......damn.....

but I need the equip depreciation big time...so I MAY gamble on 1 more unit (always a tail end Charlie that ROI's months behind everyone else as my clue to stop buying stuff
..it's a crummy system..but it works...I always have to walk into a wall on the last unit of any particular ASIC equip before I go 'Nevermore' etc)

what the hell its 2 am CST watching Bitmain play the tease..at least...keeps me off buying crap off of eBay .out of boredom...

(I really, really need a life) Sad

later

Ibelink will announce new 22 ghs miner for 22 thousand dollars great deal.  Grin

I thought the page said 6k
For 22gh

https://ibelink.co


4153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Time for iBeLink to Win Hearts of Miners on: August 05, 2017, 09:53:02 AM
Hello fellow miners,

iBeLink just announced release of 22000 MHs DASH miner 810 watt.
https://ibelink.co/blog/

All the customers who purchased in July have not yet got delivery for iBeLink DM11G and expect that iBelink send them free upgrade kit for DM22G as those customers purchased DM11G at expensive rates by putting their trust in iBelink.

Its time for iBeLink to show to the miners that they are miner friendly and a good organization with positive intentions.

I hope iBeLink will give this FREE UPGRADE KIT proposal a consideration and win the heart of miners.

Thanks.


Fat chance of that happening. Good luck thou...I don't want to sound harsh...but just is not gonna happen imho.
4154  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 05, 2017, 09:50:12 AM
Wake up. Check BTC price.
$3,195 ATH.
That is already boring. Give me $4k. Cheesy

Ok. See you at the $4k party then !

EDIT: Just passed $3,200 !!!

My hope is....whatever it pumps to and corrects to...it simply stays above a floor of 3,000.

The fun I had telling folk when BTC was 2,000 was epic. Now telling them that the floor is 3,000 and that BCH paid me on the fork is gonna be great!

Sure it may not last, but I remember 2013 on the dump and other times I was the one getting beat up about BTC ponzi.....got to get my jollies where I can Smiley

4155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you dumped your BCC yet? on: August 05, 2017, 08:13:19 AM
Just to be contrary..I'm letting it ride and have not cashed out Bitcoin Cash.

I figure it will just be another alt coin. Also, insurance in case the 2mb part of seg witness in 2 months turns into a cluster
and miners bail to this in spite...well....I would be annoyed if I sold it.

So treating it like 'insurance'. It's not like it 'cost me anything'.

WTH, I'm likely wrong...but my play at the moment Smiley

Quite the month thou, money falling out of the sky...


4156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 on: August 05, 2017, 06:33:15 AM
If ibelink buyers get their 22ghs upgrade kits soon or before october ( at a discount or possibly free for some) then they will have the fastest and most efficient miner even once the d3's are released and until the a5 even once the d3s are shipped, not sure how they did it but they got 3x as many of the same chips in the 22gh miner yet using same power usage.


well...in my case, I mined the LTC used....so this year...1/2 can go to the tax man ...or that same 1/2 can go to equip with an additional 25% due to 100% equip deduction in 1 year
applied to taxes I owe..or know I'm gonna owe this year

So the gamble was 25% more in $$$ on equipment...than just paying the IRS the 50% off what I mined in coin

sucks...but that is how it is...so worse case I figure it is a wash

Glad I was paranoid and only got the ONE though....

I also HOPE that bitmain will release a firmware update (like Baikal eventually did in the past) to do X13 and X15 coins. What the heck, probably won't happen, but would allow
me to mine something, if when these miners destroy/pump/boom the X11 coins out there in the world.

Anyway, still (in my case) I'll probably get by...but again...circumstances...I feel sad for those who may have bet the farm.

Whenever bitmain REDUCES PRICE DRASTICALLY as they have done with product in the past..it usually means something else is dire in the crypto world

but damn, even this one miner I got could be a 'doorstop' by December 2017 ..what an arms race!

4157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 on: August 05, 2017, 03:43:23 AM
iBelink would have to give those away in order to pull the sales away from Bitmain.  Price is going to win this battle sadly.
iBelink isnt making any more units, nor selling any, that i know of.

I havent seen any or i would've bought some more. They're hashing $3500-4000 at the moment.

At $6000 I'd buy 10 more if they would've gotten shipped in next week, like my current units have.

edit: I stand corrected:

https://ibelink.co/blog/


22gh/s iBelink miner announced for October delivery.

This explains why Bitmain freaked out with pricing on their Batch 2 ASICs. Its a turf war until the end of winter, when a winner will probably emerge.

#winteriscoming

heh....may be a 12-15 month roi at best with my 2700 usd Sept 18th (supposed) delivery of the D3 I got (one) ......especially if these ibelink units
ship at the first of Oct

Anyway, why I only got ONE at least (it was a trap...the asic gods hate me) Sad

What are the dangers of the 2mb hard fork part of this whole seq witness consensus?

Can core or others block this....or is it a done deal?

curious....just when I think it is unlikely to go "pear shaped' ..it not only goes 'pear shaped' it rolls over in the asic seas......floods and sinks Smiley

Welcome to my world..why I'm asking

anyway thoughts ..or am I fretting over nothing? Smiley

Is it possible to estimate DASH difficulty for October 2017?

Look up. Find a cloud. Estimate distance. Then triple it

Will be something like the above analogy.
