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

[cuteman]

In fact I need a longlasting pool, which won't disappear some day.   I am planning to use a dedicated farm to host my d3 miners, but the farm's owner says that I need to choose particular reliable pool,  which they won't switch it in future, as they have no time resources for this.  

This is different from home-miners who can switch between pools from time to time, if they are not sutisfied with any pool.  

What is the most reliable, and long lasting pool do you think?

What do you want to mine. Do you want to get paid out in different coins or are you mining straight dash.
If you want payout in other coins, a few post in this thread, members had suggested many.
But if you want to mine dash coins, and looking for a reliable pool.
I would suggest https://www2.coinmine.pl/dash/index.php
I have been using it for along time now, never had any issues.

Thanks for help!    

It's ok paying in dash for me.   I looked into coinmine, and it looks quite good:  it is rather old, from 2014 - which is very nice.
Also i see big qty of of workers there for dash  - about 8500 units, which is quite big, comparing with another pools I saw (zpool and granat have about 500 each).  Do they really have so many workers?
Fee is1% which is not high.

Do they have good support, in case of any issues?

Difficulty just shot up to near 20 million.
Down to $5.00 profit per day.
GREAT!

Now where are you idiots that will discredit my statement?
Like how you discredited me last week when I mentioned that profits are down to $10.00 per day?

not sure you are trolling or simply an idiot.

taking your calculator as you have posted, i get $17 USD/day nett
difficulty is not even 12 Million, not anytime "nearly" 20 million as u claim.

so the conclusion: u're an idiot. stop mining now.

Don't be such a twat. The diff HAS gone above 20mill only a few hours ago.

Blocks 759062-759066 were all above 20mill, one was even 24mill so it will soon be the norm.

I'd like to explain some (the major) reason why DASH is going down:

Everybody is mining DASH but getting paid in BTC/LTC whatever, but DASH.

Guess what happens when you want BTC instead of dash ? Dash gets sold and BTC gets bought. So you're putting downwarn pressure on dash.

Ppl should start holding dash when mining it and no dumping it for BTC. Then maybe the price will stay high.

Simple.

In simplest terms, this is somewhat true. But, more in line with the overall reality. If there is sound fundamental support and demand for any protocol or coin, the swapping or exchanging the currency for another would have no discernible effect. These are free markets with active supply and demand metrics in play. Your example has played out in the reverse with the opposite effect. During certain market dynamics, money flows OUT of BTC and into other currencies, and BTC continues to go up. ( EG: during Segwitx2 ). If DASH was fundamentally sound or entertaining healthy levels of demand, it would NOT react negatively to " Miner Profit Taking ". In fact it might even go UP. Personally, when I am bullish on a Crypto Currency, I watch volume and order execution trends that alert me to the ridiculous ways in which typical "Miners" liquidate their inventory. It ALWAYS creates a buying opportunity in the market because they run in and sell massive positions with Market orders and wreck the whole Bid structure, like a Bull in a China Shop. 9 times out of 10, when I buy in this environment, I gain a massive edge on my trade once the silly Miner exits the platform and the stupidity dies down. The market returns to supply/demand normalcy and snaps back in price.

Well.....you're forum name has certainly been proven appropriate lately. You are definitely a "Foo" and definitely smoking "Crack". Aren't you the same cat that has been hawking that rip off scam pool, "Z pool"? You're not a huge proponent of reality are you?? LOL.

Now the difficulty is down to 11 million, what the hell.
I am telling you it was set at 19 million when I saw it a few hours ago!!!
I will take screen shots next time to prove it

one more question please.  I see on thier site:

2. Download a miner.
GPU Miner Linux/Windows: Download here
CPU Miner Linux/Windows: Download here


- but what about ASIC miner, missing?   what shall I choose?  CPU?

why do you think zool is a scam?    I am looking for dash pool now, need your opinion  (at the moment more inclined to coinmine.pl)

Do yourself a favor buddy. If you're just getting started, sell your Hash at Nice hash. They consistently achieve high profit levels and the place is stable as the rock of Gibraltar. Lot's of shenanigans going on in the "switching pools". They have too many ways to skim your $ and you'd never know it. Nice Hash is always about $1.00 per day higher or lower than the highest profit coin. Sha256, Scrypt or X11. No, you're not mining, but the people that buy your Hash are bidding for it and the "net effect" on profitability is essentially the same as the switching pool results without the smoke and mirrors. Just my opinion. If I do coin switching, I only do it when I have the time to switch manually myself. Good luck and have fun!

right, and u're a genius... clap clap clap.. U are high on crack, u see, there are spikes, often up and down, but the mean values don't changed much, still below 12 MILLION!!!. Now shut up and eat my 20% fees that I've been given to u for quite some times now.

Thanks for your thoughts, will think over )

Hello !

I have received 2 Antminer D3 today.

The fans are on "auto" mode, but one of my D3 has a very high temperature for one of the chip (chip 3, 91° C)
On the other D3, the chip number 3 is around 86° C.

Is it to high or it's ok ?

The PCB goes from 60 to 70° C max.

Thank you for your answer !

that seems hot, check to see if the heat sync has fallen off

[Alcahest]

What is the "heat sync" please ?

It's only for the chip number 3, chips 1 & 2 are 79 and 81° C

[LiteMine]

Heat sinks are small pieces of metal covering the chips on the hash boards, Bitmain has a reputation for them falling off.

[Alcahest]

Ok thank you, but i have to open the D3 to access to the heat sinks right ?

Is it easy to access ?

[omshree]

All those temps are too high. try to set the fans to 95% to see what happens, and refresh fw

[lentyna]

I would keep the temp under 70C if you want them to last longer.

Hey, yes they been around for awhile now. I have alot of buddies mining on the same pool. Never had any issues with them, very solid and transparent.
1% does add up when you have alot of hashrate, but in mining fees are expected. You just have to charge it to the game.
Support is very good actually, theres a coinmine slack channel. The admin is easily reachable if you have any problems or questions with your account.
No need to send and wait for emails.

New batch does 19.3 ghs at around 1200-1230 watts. During the day I turn it down a notch to 16 / 1000 watts to make them around 60-70 degrees celcius. I'm a happy camper thanks Bitmain!
