Didn't find anything better for windows there..

I'd use exodus if I were you. It's my favorite wallet out there.

We do. We set the price with our demand.
223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 on: November 05, 2017, 02:01:03 PM
Don't forget that the same scenario happened with S9 after release, for quite a time they were mostly heating, but the adjustment happened, which will happen on dash net IF it stays alive.

This is what most people here don't realize. As if things in crypto don't change radically within a very short time frame. In any case, mining is somewhat of a gamble. But I firmly believe that within 3-4 months, D3s will be profitable again. On par with L3+.
224  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Amazon accepting Bitcoin - What can go wrong? on: November 03, 2017, 10:36:53 PM
I think a high percentage of amazon customers opt for the free shipping option which can take 2+ weeks. Waiting for bitcoin to confirm, on top of a 2 week shipping time may not be that much of an inconvenience.

The "scaling problem" could be a good problem to have. One way of viewing it is: "bitcoin can't be used to buy a cup of coffee and isn't ready for a prime time, mainstream, role". The flipside of that might say that if bitcoin's network lacks the transactional volume to cover all transactions, retailers might expand their platform to include support for other crypto to fill the vacuum. One perspective is likely over-optimistic while the other is the opposite. The likely outcome could be somewhere inbetween the two.

Bitpay green lights transactions on the 1st confirmation which isn't too bad.

Amazon accepting bitcoin would be similar to an official endorsement. If the public sees amazon endorsing bitcoin while banker CEO's condemn bitcoin it will create a divide, a conflict of mainstream opinion as opposed to the typical unified front the media is often able to maintain. That could encourage the public to research and learn about crypto more rather than believe the mainstream media angle of it being a bubble, which could be a good thing even if transactions aren't instantaneous.



Let's say we skip wait-times altogether. Say nobody gives a shit (a lot of people do, though). What about the fees? The astronomical fees from say, 200k utxo in mempool? I think it could hurt bitcoin more than it would help which gets me ranting about Core's incompetence.

Its has beem proven this is no scam.

Anyone stating otherwise has a bias motive

So...you're not biased? What with you getting their money and sporting their label?
I'm not claiming they're a scam, but hypocrisy needs to be called out.

I figured with all this complaining here about these D3s that you'd be ready to get rid of them? Smiley

You also have to realize what it's worth to a buyer.  Why would anyone pay more than $500 for one now?

What it's worth to a buyer? Lol. If the seller is one of those people that thought they're buying a money printing machine and are now going crazy over the income, then yeah. You might be able to find and abuse these people into selling their miner for 500$, since there's so many of 'em. But the machine itself is still worth it. Even more so in a few months. If you're a miner and you're getting scared about the ROI now...you shouldn't be mining.

"still worth it" is a matter of perspective.  To me, it's worth about $500, especially with the added difficulty that's being added here in the next few weeks.

It sounds like you are happy with yours.  I'm happy for you! Smiley

M

It's not that I'm happy, I'd obviously be happier if I made 100$/day. But I knew what I was getting into and I'd still buy it knowing what I know today. I'd have bought some more L3s as well, but that's a different story. Anyways, I think ROI will be looking quite different 2 months from now. Or maybe I'm biased due to my fondness for Dash, who knows.

will buy d3 with power supply. $750 each contact me

hahaha 750 nobody would go that unless they are plain STUPID !!!

You're right.  That's too high.

I'll offer $500.  Don't need a PSU.

M

If you find one for $500 I will take the lot of them, cmon $500.  Why is everyone so keen on poking people who have or own these, doesn't make sense

Maybe you can here https://bitcoinfees.earn.com

The problem is, very low fee!


and how long will I wait? please

Could be 1 day, could be 2 weeks, depending on the volume of transactions.
229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain D3 (Dash Coin) Early November Just Shipped on: November 02, 2017, 12:00:34 PM
ROI to the moon!  Tongue

I´m not really sure why everyone is bashing the D3's so hard. 

Do the math.

Lets say you've paid $1500 for the D3.
Profitability today (according to whattomine.com) is about $13 daily if you get the 19.3Mh/s version.
Lets assume that the profitability will be reduced with 20% montly.

This gives you a ROI of about 6-7 months.

Its really not that bad.

And what if everyone is wrong and the profitability stays up and reduces with lets say 15% montly, that will give you a ROI in 5 month +a couple of days. 10% = ROI in 4.5 months.

This is of course a very simplified calculation, but it gives you an idea.


In my opinion, the D3 is not as bad as people make it sound.



Now it's 9.33 $ (17Gh / s) every day. And I'll tell you that it will be a disaster ... Bitmain sold in the beginning of November 40,000 units, so that the guys bought very expensive heaters.

First of all you have no idea how many they sold. Second, I remember when the S9 was barely making 5$/day. If you're in this to get rich overnight, then you're a moron and deserve to get burned.
230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: antminer d3 HW counts on: November 01, 2017, 10:12:42 PM
temps are 55, 63 and 3rd one is running very hot 75- 78 idk what's happening.
I'll try to update the firmware thank you for your advise. Can i back up my original firmware?

Run your fans faster ,try to keep chip temps at 70 and below , machine will last longer and will help keep hw errors down. Down clock frequency speed if major issues continue. Firmware update doesn't always fix this. Changing pools and difficulty levels can help.

Do you lose the warranty if you downclock it rather than overclocking it? And I remember reading a way which would make it impossible for them to tell that you overclocked the machine, does anyone here know what I'm talking about? Anyways, I wouldn't recommend overclocking a D3, especially 19.3 version. Mine is the 17 one and it stays under 63C most of the time. It works flawlessly for days and it's also pretty silent.
231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Selling 50000 Electroneum Coins for $50000 in BTC or ETH on: November 01, 2017, 05:06:32 PM
PM me if interested. Price is fix, so don't try to argue. Take it or leave it.

I will give you 500$. Serious offer. And that's only because I'm feeling lucky tonight. Take it or leave it.

//just looked at your post history. Wow dude. You're suffering from major post-purchase rationalization. That's gonna be cured in a couple days when the 50k coins you have will be worth maybe 500$. And that's a generous maybe.

The project looks interesting and a breath of fresh air amidst all the ethereum copies. Good luck
233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethconnect ico Like Bitconnect? This will make millions of dollars. on: November 01, 2017, 01:43:58 PM
Hahaha I will never support scam projects even if they get me 10x my investment. We all lose in the long run.
234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: Alaricoin (ALCO) on: November 01, 2017, 08:10:04 AM
It's cool and all, but why didn't you ask people to do this in the main thread? We have no way of knowing if this is legit unless the guy who posted the thread originally comes up and says so.
235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D3 nothing but issues, wish I would have stuck with L3+ on: October 31, 2017, 02:24:28 PM
I wouldn't mind if they were the same and overclocked as long as they were hashing at 19.3GH while still under warranty.  The freq tab says "Default Setting" and the kernal log shows it running them at 487M, which if my math is right would be around 5750 per board?
It affects my performance when I get that temp read error, my hashrate drops to 11.6 GHs when one of the boards show errors, it's happening daily to at least one of the boards.

My guess would be the temperature is pretty high. Where I keep it, the temp is around 10C. With the same frequency as yours, I don't get temps over 63 on any of the boards.
236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D3 nothing but issues, wish I would have stuck with L3+ on: October 31, 2017, 02:14:38 PM
Your 3.5 issue I think tis the machine rebooting itself.
Have you tried downclocking?
What PSU are using? It is a solid 1600w PSU?

Not op, but I don't think so. Mine only does that if the pool dies somehow. We also need to know the conditions in which the machine is kept. What is the ambient temperature?
237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D3 nothing but issues, wish I would have stuck with L3+ on: October 31, 2017, 02:06:40 PM
You got a couple things wrong. The machines are the same, from the september and november batch. They were just overclocked. I got one in sept and my friend got it a couple of days ago. It's hashing at 19.3 GH/s but at higher temps. In the miner status, what does the frequency tab say?

Also, the thing about error while reading temps...I'm guessing it's just a bug. I always get it if pool 0 dies and it has to switch, but it does not affect performance in any way. The hashboard stopping thing, I only got it 2-3 times.

Something I've yet to see on the blockchain. Curious to see where this leads, it definitely has potential.
239  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex $360K Frozen $0.00 remaining of $0.00 USD daily limit. on: October 31, 2017, 12:35:26 PM
US based exchanges have gotten very strict about KYC/AML procedures, especially with users who belong in the US itself. Be patient and wait for verification to be approved before calling a lawyer. Poloniex is not a scam exchange, but they are being very careful these days. Theres also a chance that they will be open to sharing your name and trading history with the IRS. If you made a lot of money in trading, have your accoutant ready to know how much taxes you owe.

Would make things a little better if they had some contact with their clients. Their 0 contact policy is not so reassuring.

Yeah, honestly, I'd stay away from poloniex. My favorite until recently was bittrex, but they also seem to be heading down a dark path (probably same reasons?). Binance is my go-to exchange for now. At least until a proper DEX comes out.
240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Ethconnect a scam? Invest? on: October 31, 2017, 12:33:20 PM
The developers are untrustworthy as they are not using their real identity for their investors. Try to check out tweets out there about those pictures that are scattered on twitter. If I were you I'm not going to invest on a company where they can't disclose their information to get the trust of the investors. Transparency is always the best thing when it comes to investments / ICOs.

They're trying to ride the wave of bitconnect, the most prolific ponzi scheme in crypto and, honestly, ever. Do not invest in ponzis, no matter how tempting. You will hurt other people and the credibility of the whole system.
