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

[tw0rak]

Now in their web, says this:
"Because of ongoing maintenance, visitors to our website cannot purchase products on our website. Please try again after 18:00 hours on 24 July 2017 (GMT+8)."

Maybe after that a new batch is coming...

What is that in CST usa?

I get gmt as 5 hrs ahead of CST and china time is 8hrs ahead of Gmt

thus 13hrs ahead of now in usa cst is 4:39 am

thus about 5:30pm tonite?

(or am I completely clueless)

wondering how/if i can get anything if the above time is correct

decisions

18:00 hours on 24 July 2017 (GMT+8) is going to be in 3 minutes...from now so...
That sentence isnt at the website anymore but seems like no new products or batches.

This is why I can never buy stuff. I forget they are 1 day behind 🤷‍♂️

Difficulty with DASH is really "sensitive" . I mean, a small increase of difficulty makes a machine bleed!

What i say is right now, you can make 7800$us ( today ) a month with a D3 with a difficulty of 414,000 .

If the difficulty goes to 850,000 in september after the first machines are delivered, you will make 3800$us with one D3.

Imagine if the difficulty spikes to 2M by the beg of Oct... that's 1500$us/month...

And im saying this because right now, we have seen difficulty above 700k on some days... so double or triple that when machines are delivered is almost obvious, if not a lot higher....

So i am not sure if it's cool to purchase more D3 if the batches are for October-Nov....

They are 1 day ahead

 I doubt it, as the limiting factor for Bitmain on miner manufacture is almost certainly the ASIC mining chips - where they are fighting for LIMITED foundry space against the "big boys" like Nvidia, AMD, Apple, Samsung, and such (Intel probably isn't a factor in this since they still have their own foundries).

 Bitmain wasn't  the first to market even in this SECOND wave of X11 ASIC miners - iBelink had their SECOND gen miner out a couple months back, and seems to have sold out their entire first batch and probably started shipping it.

ibelink, Innosilicon and Baikal have no where near the branding that Bitmain now has. Those two also don't compete on price. they also don't compete on Customer service. Bitmain has the mold to be modeled after. Baikal is a joke compared to them. $7,000.....$10,000 hahaha!! Yeah ok. Good luck selling those poorly supported and unreliable units at those prices. I'll stick with Bitmain. Ya'll can be pioneers with your money.

Question.....If Nvidia, Samsung, AMD are such users of ASIC's chips then why don't they even have a hint of an ASIC miner? Nvidia and AMD are still playing around in the GPU market!

 Innosilicon is generally considered to have SUPERIOR customer service to Bitmain - which isn't saying much, though Bitmain is considered to be a lot better than Baikal at dealing with customers.
 Bitmain also has a POOR record for reliability on their recent-gen miners - the S9 is NOTORIOUS for losing hashboards, the R4 doesn't appear to be any better, and it seems to be a significant problem with the L3+ as well.
 The T9 seems to be the ONLY recent Bitmain model that doesn't have this issue to a major degree.
 
 Innosilicon, on the other hand, had some issues with the first 2 batches of A4 miners, FIXED the issue in the third batch, and worked WITH owners of the first 2 batches to fix THOSE miners as well.


 I did not say NOR IMPLY that Nvida, Samsung, or AMD are ASIC chip makers.
 Current generation ASIC mining chips are made on the SAME foundry production lines as current Apple, Samsung, Nvidia and AMD (among others) GPU CPU and Smartphone chips - which is why the ASIC mining chip makers have to compete with foundry space vs the "big boys" - and those foundries have been widely reported to be running at full capacity on their 14/16nm node lines for as long as those lines have been running at all.

Interesting - I wonder if that's why Bitmain had a couple months earlier this year with nearly no products for sale (except PSUs).

Also, looks like Bitmain is getting ready for batch 2 real soon:

Does anyone know if the D3 will able to mine other altcoins other than X11-based coins? Quark? Qubit? X13?

It won't. It's an x11 ASIC

Is this a function of the D3 miner? Why can the Baikal products mine x11, x13, x14, x15, Quark and Qubit all from the same device?

just thought share if you still want to buy one got email from bitmain :

Dear customer,

We are pleased to inform you that we have will release a new batch of the Antminer D3 miner at this link after 6:30 PM (Beijing time) on July 25, 2017.

The Antminer D3 is Bitmain’s first ASIC miner to mine the X11-algorithm based cryptocurrency DASH.

This batch can deliver a hashrate of 15 GH/s. Because of the high demand and the manufacturing period, shipping for this batch will start after 15th of September 2017 and on a “first paid, first ship” basis. If we advance the shipment, we will notify you.

If the shipping date is the same as Batch 1, I expect the price to be higher. That would be fair right?

I hope there is a mistake in the shipping date They made this mistake manytimes. We will see in 2 hours.
If there is going to be the same date and same price it should be big disadvantage for us who bought this miner in first batch.

Looks like ~ 1.12BTC for the D3, just over $3000 USD

Disregard the USD price and check the BTC/LTC

Update: well, now its back to .97 BTC, it was showing 1.12 when I first posted. Looks like they are messing with the page as we speak.

nothing for moment...

1.12BTC is still absolutely great price.
Be prepared this miners will be out of stock in very short time.

Seems already impossible to buy one...

we need to wait to update the stock on site

OMG, learn the clock...
Is it allready 6:30 PM Bejing time?
