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

[Searing]

So not only they send us toasters, they send us toasters we can't even use because of no PSU's. Oh boy, what a scam it is by Bitmain flooding the market with D3's. Well, it was a risk but fool me once, shame on me and so on..

Waiting for my two pieces of shit to arrive by the end of the month.

I laugh to keep from crying. lol but man that was a good one buddy!

Yep ..you can add my pile to your pile and everyone adds to the pile..that will be a lot of sh*t.....

as best I can tell there are still what 4 batches of bitmain D3's out

a huge batch of A5 x11 miners 30gh each..figure that is worth a couple batches of D3's

we are so full of sh*t.....er beyond screwed

might be better just to leave the one I'm getting in the box...it looks to be a space heater in 6 weeks at best anyway

Yes, X11 is a composite of 11 algos, but the hardware is designed to give you the result after running through all those algos.  You can't just tell the hardware to stop in the middle of computing and give you the results for a specific algo. ASIC's usually are optimized and made very efficient at doing 1 specific function, in this case x11.  To add or do only a specific algo requires not only a firmware change, but now also a hardware change.

No hardware change is necessary if you already have the cores that hash a specific algo, and have the required devices for additional compute. X11 is a chained mining algo that uses multiple rounds of each of its algos to deliver it's final hash result. At the base of all the hashing are the dedicated full custom cores that compute each algorithm. The controller w/ the cgminer implementation is responsible for how the work is done. At the end you have the controller that runs the X11 cgminer implementation that uses pretty much all the cores on the ASIC. What Bitmain needs to release is a custom cgminer implementation that isolates each of the core regions (each region of cores does a specific hash function), and allows mining ONLY for the specific hash function. You'll basically be using a fraction of the ASIC's hashcores and power usage will even be less.

Well then we'll be waiting for your solution and implementation. You're the ONLY person, including developers and programmers that have stated this to be the case. While the mechanics of what you're saying makes sense, the implementation of the changes obviously requires more than just a "firmware upgrade". If you're right, then you're the ONLY person that knows this. If that is in fact the case, I'm sure you could get a group funding for your trip to China to help the Bitmain crew out with this. Bon Voyage.

If Bitmain cared for community involvement in improving their software, all of their custom firmware would be open-sourced. They would release the data sheets and schematics for their mining devices. I'm sure they have some of the best developers in the industry working for them. And I'm probably the shittiest coder around so I wouldn't be suited to the task anyhow

Are you saying each d3 chip has 11 cores?

No, each D3 chip probably has hundreds of hash cores. Maybe thousands. They are divided into groups, each group performs a specific hash function. For example, you might have 300 cores doing Keccak (SHA-3) that can achieve 20GH, but 700 doing Groestl to achieve that same speed as it is more intensive. During the design process there is significant work done to balance out the number of cores used on each algorithm so you don't have wasted cores doing excess hashrate on a single algorithm. It's balanced such that each group of hash cores can deliver the same hashrate (eg; 20GH). If you have 10 algorithms doing 30 GH but one algorithm doing 5GH, the end result would be a 4-5GH miner as the performance is "bottlenecked" by the lowest performing algorithm.

No need to buy anything from these scammers, if they take money 3 months in advance and selling units uncontrolled in numbers, this means they are scammers from now on.

problem is bitmain owns 90% off all the equip made now imho, sha-256 (btc) , scrypt-pow (ltc) and x11 (dash)

NO ONE is going to invest the kind of $$$ to make a whole new mnfg plant etc to keep up with the volume of crap they can shoot out the door ..in any given month....an't gonna happen!

There are other manufacturers that MIGHT put out in their main batches as much as Bitmain puts out in a month (of any asic flavor)

I see them having NO competition...thus will 'run the table' for years imho,  

As an example IF/WHEN say LTC was to hit $100 this month....don't you think you'd see 40 LTC on a miner again (ie 4k?) of course you would!

its how they roll.... (bitmain: we do evil well) tm bitmain

Hi everyone have received APW3++ Nov. batch PSU?

Cheers

can somebody provide me a link for firmware upgrade on D3, please?

thx

i got all psu units 1 month ago, but waiting miners.
They deliberately doing this .

i feel completely shafted with the whole "d3" as much as everybody else.

What we must remember is X11 is new and there is a STRONG change it will bounce back with force including new coins launching.

We may still see ROI be hopeful

I signed it too, do not be indifferent!

My 2 D3 with PSU are coming (batch 20-30 nov). I haven't bought something that I don't want they come like this.

Hello
I received yesterday two D3 and put them on work. After one hour two boards went faulty. I applied the Firmware Upgrade and till now everything is very stable and Chips Temp is not going over 76 and hash-rate is more than 19G, some time 20G.
I recommend everybody the  Firmware Upgrade.

D3 Antminer profitability is very low because of the high unit sales of Bitmain . So, X11 algorithm can not afford that much demand.
Bitmain is responsible for this disturbing situation because of the massive role of this market . it is also the only part of solution.
We are asking them to release a new firmware update and provide hashing capability of newer algorithms...

stop this. the D3 can NOT do any other algo.
