Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3

[madmartyk]

Lets mail to USA, chinese ,etc government about evading tax for bitmain company . They can not just sell antminer d3 (especially by btc) and forget their clients. if they are businessman they need to pay tax as well. I believe that if many people sends mail this makes a sense.

Do you have proof that Bitmain doesn't pay taxes in China?  I feel all your pain, I have 4 of these doggies coming in on the end on Nov batch.  It's not Bitmain fault I bought them, it's on me.  Trust me, I wish I would have bought more L3+'s in the place of the D3's.  But those of you trying to blame Bitmain are full of it.  It's no one's fault but your own.  Bitmain didn't force you to buy them!!

MadMartyK, We were all forced by Bitmain to buy these things.  You know they held your bank account and crpyto wallets hostage, and promised you that you were going to make a pile O coin if you just pre-ordered miners.  LOL

No warning you can possibly tell anyone will get them to see what the risks are.  They saw crypto climbing like crazy, were probably making some good coin, and lost their minds!  No matter how many ways you try to describe what difficulty is going to do to profits for these people it just will not sink in... until they see it for themselves and then it is someone else's fault they lost money.  Greed blinds people. 

If anyone pulled the trigger and bought D3's even when we knew that that Bitmain and OTHERS were dropping X11 miners out of helicopters and still think it is the evil Bitmain that did this to you...   What can you possibly say to such
 SOUND and REASONABLE LOGIC? LOL

Some of us were saying it was going to go down like this and even went as far as to make earnings predictions for the D3 by the end of the year.  Frankly my pessimistic earnings prediction(which people here called me crazy) for the D3 was still way too optimistic.   

Did it stop me from buying a couple of D3's?  NOPE, I got nobody to blame but myself for my willingness to risk some coin on the off chance that Dash and X11 coins continued the strong move up and that my prediction was wrong. 

I have to thank Bitmain for their decision to release miners in the middle of the night US time, and a very very screwed up ordering system that prevented me from being tempted to buy more D3's.  If not for that screwed up mess I might have been tempted to buy more of them, so they probably saved me some money!

We take crazy risks when we pre-order miners.  We may never ROI on the D3's.  If the people here whining and complaining didn't understand the risks they were taking then I guess they should get a different hobby. 

Yea, those evil Bitmain people held a gun to my head and said BUY D3's!!!  Maybe I'll get lucky and UPS will misplace them and I'll collect the insurance money!!  LOL

Guys...
Is anyone in here actually have any experience in crypto ?
When I read most of the comments I got the feeling that everyone was expecting to get $100 a day for a lifetime from those machines...

I know people which stopped mining BTC few years back as they be able to mine "only" 1 BTC per day ( approx $1 at that time ) and were moaning that is not worth to switch on the PC for this "crap" .
I bought over 40 of D3 fro Nov  , and now I am buying more below £1000/each on ebay - and there is only one stupid thing I done - I should keep the money and wait till now to get much more from "panty shitters" like most of you ...


Imagine you making NOW equivalent of $2 a day in DASH after elec cost .... and imagine DASH at $1000 with difficulty at the level of 50mil or DASH at $200 with difficulty 50mil and BTC at $20000 - how much your $1 from today will be worth ? What would be your ROI time from future perspective ?

Please get a good plug and close your bum hole to stop spreading the shit around  , and open your mind - switch on brain -  ...  Or let me have it your D3's below $1000 in next few weeks...


Good Night...

Hello !

Mining DASH with ASICs is very difficult today because of the big increase of the difficulty... is there any plan to upgrade the reward for DASH mining soon of to decrease the difficulty like they did for ETH recently ?

Thank you for your answer

No plan. Did Bitcoin have a plan to upgrade the reward for Bitcoin mining or to decrease the difficulty when it switched to ASIC mining and got a massive increase in their mining difficulty? No.
It is an adapt and survive mentality in the mining world, a battle of the fittest (or a battle of the strongest and most energy efficient in this case).  
 
There is a plan/concept about changing our proof of work model to keep ASIC miners in check and to subcontract the mining through masternodes but that is for far after Dash Evolution,
and is currently not included on the Dash roadmap (https://github.com/dashpay/dash-roadmap).

Just no

You're a fucking retard. You have no clue what you're doing or talking about. All you're espousing is blind speculation. Do YOU think price appreciation on the Crypto protocols is somehow guaranteed?? Because that's what you idiotic retard rant suggests. I promise you this. You're going to get your stupid ass handed to you. Are your parents retarded to or dis they just get unlucky to birth a Troglodyte?

[faetos]

Mining is fun and for most currencies it is necessary for the currency to survive and flourish. Bashing these folks and throwing this stuff in their face is just being a jerk. Sometimes you make out really well in mining and sometimes you don't. That's the risk you take. I tell you though, there's nothing more fun that getting the boxes out and setting them all up and watching them start hashing away.

[shaninium]

Where is this hashrate coming from? There is still plenty more miners not delivered or missing psu s so how can the difficulty  be so high, no one's predictions are even close.

[DonBit]

Everyone knows there is an incoming dump for BTC after the fork and there will be a correction in crypto prices. Things could change in a few months, who knows..

[jchi2210]

Just curious but does anyone have any suggestions on what would be good x11 coins to mine? I will likely alternate between Dash and others when I get mine in. I can afford to pay the electricity in the off chance that Dash jumps bigtime especially next year when we have the Evolution update. Either way this will be a good time to diversify.

The second to DASH is CANNABIS, i dont think others coin is good for long term. Maybe HELIUM will make another HIT, but its a speculation.
BUt i prefer to stock up DASH and wait its moment than other X11 coins

$7.32 daily, pretty soon we can buy a can of soda per day with our D3 lol.

Waiting for firmware upgrade that unlocks individually all 11 algorithms used in x11. Right now that would be the only thing that could mildly change this fail machine.

[dalu1]

$7.32 is already history, now at 15G, the earning before electricity is $4.37

[COINKING84]

The power supply come it just takes about 5 more days.

[dalu1]

should we start a campaign to petition Bitmain to upgrade the D3 firmware to unlock all X11 algorithm?   This is least Bitmain can do

[youni]

What do you mean by unlock all X11 algorithm? Isn't the D3 an ASIC and was designed just for X11?

[sigtmerchant]

You might as well go ahead and create a "petition" on change.org, I'm sure Bitmain folks will laugh their arses off just reading it.

Yes but would be really nice, imagine dedicated keccak with this thing.

[Searing]

Well..hopefully, folk have better than 12c elec like me

I get below...(dropping damn fast..the price is....) sheesh

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/dash?HashingPower=17.5&HashingUnit=GH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=950&CostPerkWh=0.12

IF you can get 17.5gh for your unit..(me I get maybe 16.5gh on my unit) at 950 watts and 12c kwh electric...

Again, below is for 17.5gh (not my crummy gh)

It is NOW only $3.21 a day

I have a 2nd unit ..the supposed 19.2gh unit....assuming it all evens out in the wash for 2 units making double (with my loss of gh on one unit made up by the other)

I could than make DOUBLE (dare to dream) of

$6.42 a day!

Not looking like the $4,350.00 more or less on both units/ bitmain power supplies and shipping for the works to me and than the data hall...

well......sh*t

IF I'm lucky, and count ALL my x11 miners (like my Baikal 300mh cube for $900 w/shipping that I've made $1.5k profit on)

I just MIGHT get 1/2 my money back at this rate.....(mining prohash to LTC on all) and bettting on LTC.......and IF LTC doubles...maybe I can then

ego salvage my purchases of these D3's

Damn, that is long odds...not counting electric and gonna be a dubious method of ego protection

Yeah would be great. Unfortunately our dreams don't count
