Hi,
I saw that PandaMiner will come out with a new type of miner.
Can anybody explain how is this new machine better up against the old one? (the old one has 8xRX480 GPU, the new miner has 8xRX470 GPU, oh, and the power consumption is the same - as I read on PandaMiner's website)
Maybe I missed something?
Better for us primarily because its a smaller size. Its actually lower performance because of it being RX 470 4GB cards. Also, its more profitable for the guys at Pandaminer since the cards are cheaper. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

they did not let me buy 1 of them so a head to head show down is not going to happen. frankly the b1 was nice gear. the b3 will most likely be not quite as nice. and since I can't buy one no chance for head to head test. |

I think that PandaMiner's stuff is good for fast deployment (if you want to start 50-100-200 miner in a short period). But if you have time to build the miners "DIY", it is worth to buy the most reliable parts and build it yourself. And you can sell the GPUs and buy newer generation GPUs if you need. |

you forget space. I can stack A MINIMUM of 20 pandas on 1 rack vs 10 for my built units. Space is a big deal.

Yup.... space & footprint is a big factor, because its also a way to control heat and temperature. If I have 10-20 Panda stacked nicely - I can easily manage the cooling requirements. |

I use an old Antminer S7 power supply unit 1600w for B1 without any issues. |

yes, you are absolutely right, that can be an important factor too (not for me, that's why I didn't think about that) |

Hi Philip....Do you know if this Msata will fit the Pandaminer ?? most likely it will fit the b1 and allow an image of smOS to work fine Since no one has shown a new b3 I can't tell. My older model panda miner has a 64 gb msata that I had laying around |

cant be same board as they have 4 up and 4 down cards. If they were smart they made it 8 slots and no risers. I suspect that is the case if this is indeed legit pics.

Quick question:
How reliable these guys are?
Is it safe to send them 50% on 50 machines for pre-delivery?
Does anyone use their hosting?
