Is DC 1 good or SC 1 ?
see my quote above..if at my data hall rate of electric with rent I got a obelisk sc-1 unit today I'd lose -2c a day...from above. if i had a decred miner today I'd make +6c a day they are both doorstops and have not shipped yet brad

Kinda a bombshell below, submitted fof those who have NOT gotten a unit and did not get the below email (for you lurkers out there) and to start a conversation on this annoucement. hmm.....I may have to re-think my views on Sia-Tech NOT trying to pull something out of this cluster....kinda impressed at the effort, if unsure of the result, at this time. Got this from them via email below 8/13/18 ----------------------- start --------------------------------- The Plan Dear Obelisk Customers, Production is progressing, firmware is almost complete, and we expect to begin shipping units this week. We now have approval from our team, board, and counsel to share our plan. First, we will compensate Batch 1 customers with expected mining revenue. Since we missed the estimated shipment date for Batch 1, we will compensate all Batch 1 customers with the mining revenue that you would have received between June 30 and the day your order ships. As of today, this is approximately $90 for each SC1 unit and $250 for each DCR1 unit. If we miss the estimated shipment dates for Batches 2-5, this policy will also apply. We will begin sending out this compensation to customers sometime after Batch 5 ships. Obelisk will calculate your expected mining revenue based on a hashrate of 800 GH/s for SC1 and 1500 GH/s for DCR1. Compensation will be in USD, and will assume that you exchanged your mined coins for USD on a daily basis and that your electricity cost is $0. In the coming weeks, we will put together a more complete guide to receiving this compensation and publish our official calculations so that they can be reviewed by the community. Depending on Obelisk’s financial position after delivering Batch 5, it may take several months or more to compensate all customers. Second, we will release the SC1 alternative Blake2b algorithm in the coming weeks. This will give the Sia community the ability to fork and could invalidate all non-Obelisk Siacoin ASIC miners on the forked chain. The Sia core developers are currently considering community member FaustianAGI’s proposal and will soon be issuing an official response.

I love when this thread gets bumped, I always laugh when I read the subject of this thread. If SIA forks it will be absolute proof that they want to centralize this for their own greed. There are 5 ASIC manufacturers that have an ASIC miner out for SIA (6 if you count Obelisk). Thats about 3 more options than if you were GPU mining. And in fact the Baikal BK-B costs $400, and the A3 is available for $157, cheaper than a GPU. The FUD about Bitmain gets old after awhile. Maybe there were some valid points when Bitmain suddenly released the only asic miner but that is not the current environment.

I agree with your point of view. Here situation is clear: a SIA founder would like to save his investment in Obelisk. Don't care about the community but only about his own ass. Comparison with Monero's fork has no value here. Monero's team announced the fork before the Bitmain's ASICs hit the market. And the most funny is that Bitmain A3 is now the least efficient Blake2B ASIC. To fight against a paperweight... let me laugh

Comparison with Monero's fork has no value here. Monero's team announced the fork before the Bitmain's ASICs hit the market. And the most funny is that Bitmain A3 is now the least efficient Blake2B ASIC. To fight against a paperweight... let me laugh this is likely true, however...they are kinda stuck..if they DO want to run a decentralized network for anonymous cloud storage at 10c to $1 non-anonymous cloud storage, that Amazon plugs, well, they really have no choice (again, this is confusing, but IMHO). My reasoning goes like this, people have been mining siacoin, the price has collapsed, the difficulty is high, thus, NO ONE will go back to GPU mining, and even the current blake2b miners, if they can't make even electric in a month or so ...well, no more network. (remember at these prices, even bitmain units are not worth running anymore) So, do they watch the whole project fold, because they screwed up and the coin/token they want to use to run their 'supposed secure ASIC network, for the decentralized and anonymous cloud storage solution. With, soon, no ASIC miner being worth, of any brand, running this coin...they are stuck. Thus the fork reboot, from their point of view, they have now limited the ASIC's to theirs (which they intended in the first place), the price of the coin as such (the new forked coin/token) would now be dependent on their decentralized anonymous cloud storage solution working no longer just priced by 'scarcity' in the GPU days, etc....and they can continue the project with some control. IF Siacoin was simply, mined and pumped, due to 'scarcity' without this network involved...well...it was and continues to be just a speculative coin due to price and scarcity. They will not be able to do this with their new forked token/coin..it will have to be based under this setup, on the success of the vision of cloud storage they have. That may not work, worth a lick either. But to be truthful, the days of siacoin amounting to anything for use vs the speculative price it still is now, well that boat was sinking anyway. So, fair or not ...it is Sia-Tech's attempt to salvage their original vision of a network with their machines for their cloud storage solution. Indeed, both mining versions may just be 'mining air', so to speak. I DO have 5 obelisk's coming and of course see this as the ONLY solution for at least the POTENTIAL for my Obelisk Sc-1's, not to be immediate doorstops. But again, Moreno is forking to get away from Bitmain ASIC's...this is just more of the same. A way to control their siacoin network for their cloud miner vision. But anyway, IMHO, if they do the fork, on a hope, because as I see it, Siacoin was doomed even before the price dump. With no way to use it for the siacoin network in its present form...it was just a matter of time. So one of 3 outcomes 1) fork kills siacoin in use/price and as a coin, to dismal fading away. Their forked coin/token with its intended use survives/thrives. 2) fork just splits the pain between both coins..which struggle...but Sia-Tech gets a half-assed attempt out of their cloud vision in use. 3) both forked coins fail from the fork...weaken each other...all comes to naught slim odds, no matter how you look at it. May very well be 'too little, too late' then again, I find the whole thing befuddling as hell, so we will see I can't even figure out if my first 5 Obelisk's were in the 1st batch or not? I know I got the 1st one, the first week, for a better coupon, but have no idea, how the batches were set up. I think I paid the same for all, so maybe my stuff is in the 1st batch? So about the only thing I have going as a conclusion now is I probably will get $90 and may get $450 back (peanuts) on this email. anyway, as they say, we will be the first to know, chump or champ ..it is always chump or champ brad

Meanwhile, not working network that makes sense to invest $$ equipment wise for HD's and participate. No Siacoin network fork. But hey, I got my Obelisk SC-1 ASIC doorstop,
day 9, still in the box, unopened. No reason to run it at a $1 a day loss over electric. (but who's counting, days, right?) sob! (live and learn)
a buddy did turn it on to see if they work at the data hall....not impressed..no way to set settings the watts are correct (500w) but it only mines
at 500gh, not the 800gh they said originally...worse yet, no way to do any settings ..it is all locked in..thus can't overclock or underclock ...or anything
you plug it in and it runs as it runs...luck of the draw...
so again, this is day 8 (back in the box/off) just thought folk would like to know what is what...
by the by ..at the 'supposed' 550gh they can do with 2 boards...IF they simply would have shipped 3 boards to a miner (one slot is empty) they would make
the approx 800gh they stated (at probably around 750 watts) ..but still..instead they seemed to go the 'cheap' route and pulled a board..charged us the same price
and said they would make a firmware fix to get to 800mh..whatcha wanna bet..they are simply gonna overclock the hell out of the 2 boards.
now, that really would suck, if you CAN'T MODIFY THE SETTINGS IN ANY MANNER...maybe your piece of crap obelisk CAN'T mine in overclocked mode
on 2 boards when they make the firmware/software mods ..supposedly...
myself, if the settings are locked... I'm simply going to make them 3 board units .....with what I've seen so far ..that would leave me with 3 units vs 5 units..
in that at this rate I imagine one board will be sh*t anyway..if not then I'll have a 1 board unit...but again...not impressed at all
brad
(again, back in the box/off 9 days since arrival...in doorstop mode)

at 500gh, not the 800gh they said originally...worse yet, no way to do any settings ..it is all locked in..thus can't overclock or underclock ...or anything
you plug it in and it runs as it runs...luck of the draw...
so again, this is day 8 (back in the box/off) just thought folk would like to know what is what...
by the by ..at the 'supposed' 550gh they can do with 2 boards...IF they simply would have shipped 3 boards to a miner (one slot is empty) they would make
the approx 800gh they stated (at probably around 750 watts) ..but still..instead they seemed to go the 'cheap' route and pulled a board..charged us the same price
and said they would make a firmware fix to get to 800mh..whatcha wanna bet..they are simply gonna overclock the hell out of the 2 boards.
now, that really would suck, if you CAN'T MODIFY THE SETTINGS IN ANY MANNER...maybe your piece of crap obelisk CAN'T mine in overclocked mode
on 2 boards when they make the firmware/software mods ..supposedly...
myself, if the settings are locked... I'm simply going to make them 3 board units .....with what I've seen so far ..that would leave me with 3 units vs 5 units..
in that at this rate I imagine one board will be sh*t anyway..if not then I'll have a 1 board unit...but again...not impressed at all

(again, back in the box/off 9 days since arrival...in doorstop mode)
I ordered mine during week 1, still haven't got it. Interesting you have yours but yeah I wasn't planning on running it unless a fork occurs or the market miraculously rebounds.

Meanwhile, not working network that makes sense to invest $$ equipment wise for HD's and participate. No Siacoin network fork. But hey, I got my Obelisk SC-1 ASIC doorstop,
day 9, still in the box, unopened. No reason to run it at a $1 a day loss over electric. (but who's counting, days, right?) sob! (live and learn)

I ordered mine during week 1, still haven't got it. Interesting you have yours but yeah I wasn't planning on running it unless a fork occurs or the market miraculously rebounds. Got a 2nd email from them..with the same tracking number and date as the 1st email...so someone messed up..today so no clue if a 2nd doorstop is in the mail or not? but yeah, unless I want to lose 75c a day..they are not worth running indeed....500mh at 500 watts and no interface to overclock or under volt these...and the 3rd board taken out (empty) that would give you the original 800gh...games are being played...I'll bet they plan to just overclock the hell out of those 2 boards, which I'd rather not do...but if the interface stays the same we will have no way to change anything (from what my buddy said testing mine at the data hall the other day before going back in its handy/dandy cardboard box for ease of doorstop use) FML brad

well for 2 months as doorstops they 5 sc1's seem to have rebounded at
$300 a day since the fork
we will see how long this lasts or bitmain dumps its siacoin in revenge
FYI

So looking at my COMPENSATION more or less from obelisk for 5 sc1 units...maybe $150 is $750..er maybe for the lateness of shipping these.. Looking at remaining coupons for batch 1 units (1) $400 and (4) $250 so that is .... $1,400 which would be applied only 1 coupon to a board (rip off was applied to whole 2 card batch 1 units before) anyway my guess is per board So again, 5 slots extra in the sc1 units....2 slots after I toss away decred boards on the free decred unit = 7 boards. MY GUESS is at BEST the boards will be at LEAST $1,000 a board, so that is $7k. So applying above 5 coupons to 5 upgrade boards ....$1,400 toss in the $750 compensation and the = $2,150 $7,000 - 2150 ---------- $4850 for all 7 boards (filling up this 'fantasy..guess" post here) or would be $692.86 a board with shipping Anyway, not sure that is feasible Jan 1st, 2019 in that about that time BITMAIN or someone will have probably already made a miner with the Siacoin Fork info...and again..beats sia-tech to the punch.... anyway, what I get pondering...assuming stuff above Note sure if this would be worth the risk in that by Jan 1st 2019 with these miner numbers...Bitmain or other will have made a miner that also does this forked siacoin...I'd almost bet on it. So again, may be too little too late. (unless they can multifork off these asic's whenever threatened?) but bitmain will sell its siacoin stash (if it bothered) here ASAP, and or they or others will push a unit out by Jan 2019. The mining just looks 'too good' not to attract a lot of 'newbies' on a bitmain or other miner before they cut and run leaving the newbie under water and what the hell else are thes asic makers gonna make for miners huh? The have people to employ and stuff to make. Such another miner of siatech's vision could be a quick and dirty way to make a fast buck....while other crypto miners don't look so hot to make ROI wise. we will see the above is my guessing and pondering brad
