I'm using this service for two different masternode coins and it works really well!
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain Antminer X3 -- 220KH+ Cryponight - 550W on: June 01, 2018, 06:47:44 AM
With the ETN fork I was wondering what is the best coin people are mining right now? Whattomine and Coinwarz only show a few coins with max say $12 per day but if you look on Nicehash at the Cryptonight pool it's paying $22 a day for the same hashrate (320khash). That tells me people are mining another cryptonight (old not v7) coin that's more profitable than $22 a day. Unfortunately X3 isn't compatible with Nicehash. I was wondering if anyone had found what that coin or coins were? I've struggled Googling around to find the best one.

This coin is a classic Dash clone going to zero fast. Nothing more to say. How many people get sucked in before then is up to them I guess.

why has masternodes.online removed you?

also why don't you provide meaningful support to those that have purchase coins in the pre-sale?

For sure this product is based on their Sophon AI chips. From the Byton site:

"POW algorithm that is friendly to AI ASIC-chips"

Bitmain Sophon server which ships in Q2 2018:
https://sophon.ai/product/view.html?product_id=00020171024103359691D05v6EIt064D&template=server-detail

Coincidence? I doubt it, it's the usual Bitmain sausage machine in action!
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer L3+ OVERCLOCKED !!! HOT !!! full review with LOTs of pics on: February 21, 2018, 09:01:48 PM
I run my own L3+ using APW3++ (1600W) on 220v supply. With these I find the best results with the following settings:
475M 100% manual fan speed - 620Mhash
462M 100% manual fan speed - 600Mhash

Some miners get higher hardware errors above an acceptable level at 475M so they are set at 462M. We are able to run all miners at these two settings and have consistently low hardware errors (max 0.2% and usually less than 0.1%). We have not had hardware failures over many months on these settings.

We recently expanded our IaaS offering into crypto mining as well. We have S9s, L3+ and D3s (in stock again soon) for those interested. Delivery timing is between mid-October and 2nd half of November depending on the batch and product.

We offer optional (you can just have the equipment shipped to you) cloud hosting after equipment delivery to us at the rate of $100 per month including installation, all power, space, connectivity, 24/7 end user support and operations coverage. We are a Swiss business offering a public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service since 2009 and our main website can be found at www.cloudsigma.com . You can read our customer success stories on our blog, our customers include the European Space Agency, Deutsche Boerse and others.

I am the CEO there and started offering this because of my own personal experiences with other cloud mining companies and the level of support (or lack of) that I experienced. I therefore started offering this service to bring a proper serviced cloud hosting option from people that are transparent and reliable. You can see my YouTube video about the miner hosting at http://cld.sg/cryptohosting . We also have full ISO27001 certification.

If this is useful to anyone feel free to PM me or email us if you have more queries about our offerings. Our current availability is posted always at https://shop.cloudsigma.com .

All the best,

Robert

We have 90 Antiminer D3 units available with the option to have them with the latest PSUs. We offer Paypal, credit card or BTC payment options.

Additionally we offer all inclusive hosting of $150 per unit per month including space, power and connectivity. We are a large established company from the cloud hosting space. You can see our crypto mining offer including the D3s at http://cld.sg/preordercryptomining .

As CEO at CloudSigma I also made a short intro video about our company and why we are starting to offer crypto mining equipment hosting http://cld.sg/cryptohosting .

We have 24/7 free live chat and email support, you can also contact me directly via DM on here or email me at robert@cloudsigma.com .

Good luck to all with your mining efforts,

Robert

Today Bitcoin largely provides an alternative store of value. Even if all the proposed upgrades were to happen it's still orders of magnitude from being capable of processing the number of transactions that say Mastercard does on a per second basis.

There are other existing and future crypto currencies that will address those needs. I don't buy into the argument that traditional currency has been around for a long time so always will be. How many arrows do we use today? We don't because we have better methods of hunting or whatever.

Bitcoin is the gold of the crypto currency world, an established recognised store of value that has the penetration, adoption and liquidity that you want if you want to put something aside. Although it's increasing in price right now while conventional markets are doing well, it's key attraction (like gold) is that it's outside the conventional financial system and so will likely rise in value during times of crisis. Again this points to it's store of value attributes more than it's attractiveness as a daily means of exchange.

Cheers,

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 on: August 12, 2017, 05:22:42 PM
There are two factors here. You have new network hash from new equipment and old marginally profitable hash. My point is, the ratio of old to new miners is important. With more established and larger network hash rates like Bitcoin, even when a new miner comes out, it has an impact but there is an attrition effect i.e. older miners at the end of their life are pushed off the feasibility edge and decommissioned. The result is that the NET network hash rate increase isn't 100%. Also the percentage increase in has rate is manageable. So in the case of something like SHA256 or scrypt you see that.

When Bitmain launched their L3+, you did see a significant difficulty increase but it wasn't x10 or anything. That's because scrypt has a decent hash rate and also many coins to mine. X11 is smaller and the new miners are a much bigger leap up so difficulty will increase a lot. Let's look at the payback though on a D3.

If you had an engineering sample today (someone has them somewhere Smiley then your payback according to my calculations and the latest pricing would be a whopping 10 days. That assumes a power cost of around $0.075 (that's what CloudSigma sees in an average location, not the cheapest, not the most expensive). So ten days is clearly extreme, when the other D3s hit what will happen? Firstly understand there are THREE other major upgrades that came out within a month. You have:
- Baikal Giant+
- ibelink
- Dominator A5
- Antminer D3 (clearly biggest volume but not biggest hashrate, the A5 gets that price at up to 38Ghz overclocked)

So if difficulty goes x20 then you are at 200 days for a D3 payback assuming the same price for Dash. If it's x40 then 400 days. I think x40 is the outside amount and it will be less than that. So yeah D3 isn't a get rich quick opportunity unless Dash pricing goes up a lot. Speaking of this, interest is definitely increasing and having all these mining manufacturers drawing interest can only help so I would expect Dash price to start tracking up over the next six months.

In short D3 should be economically viable but it won't have some super quick payback unless you were lucky enough to bag a first batch unit (which was very limited). The main downside will be people with cloud mining contracts or old generation miners which for sure will become economically untenable after these new units hit the market.

Interested to hear others' feedback on my thoughts above!

Robert
