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

[COINKING84]

yep..rub salt in the wound

sorry did not want to hurt you,  but if somebody bought 10 D3s, he will be able to get 1 S9 free of charge.

You can only use 1 coupon per product.
So no I cannot get a free S9.  If I wanted to use all of my 10 coupons I would have to buy 10 S9's !!

Yea and I bet they will raise the prices on the next batch of S9s by 1000 Yuan (150 USD) or more too so the coupons wont make any difference

LOL.....and.....you probably need to convert your "coupon" to BCH before you can use it.

lol!!!!!   this is probably true

I saw a post in one of the pool chats that GranatGas shit the bed. Anyone else hear this???

No they haven't. He is migrating to a new server so can't use a secured website at the moment. Take the 's' out of https and you can access the site. Ie. http://granatgas-pool.info

Thank you!

How is two 1200w D3s more than a 2880w PSU can handle? BTW, I'm looking for super high wattage PSUs if anyone knows where to get them. Wondering if options more powerful than the 2400w ones from ParallelMiner are available.

I was originally planning on using the 2400w parallel miner options to power two D3s each, but is that safe?

I always keep my usage at or below 80% of capacity. Just for safe keeping. None of the numbers are definite. There is a lot of variance in each unit and some PSU's don't handle that as well as others. I don't claim to know this particular PSU. His issue does sound PSU related. Possibly control board but not likely on more than one server all at once.

Hi guys, on Granatgas is it better to paid in Dash coin or Bitcoin?

[coelfrier]

I noticed on one of my D3's that the first "chain" or hashboard is not showing up in the miner status panel. I believe it's still working since my hashrate is 19GH/s on the default frequency but I'm wondering why one board doesn't show up. Anyone have this happen?

I'm getting the same thing, only with my 2nd board. Actually, it had disappeared for about 4 days... hashrate was still in the 18-19 range. Then two days ago, it reappears... Anyone else with this nonsense?

bet it does not apply to my orders of D3's I paid in Aug and Sept (was it) I have both of them space heaters working as we speak

so bitmain 'pretends' to help out for PR reasons..but really, just is gleefully 'twisting the knife' as the only real mnfg of asic equip of any flavor x11, scrypt-pow or sha-256

Free money, I would be foolish not to try. Now I just opened a ticket for my order of 10+ D3's trying to get the voucher. Lesson learned, fingers crossed for x11 cash miner pump.

naw should have kept my LTC rather then the D3's...as to GPU's the time machine to 2013 is broken

MIGHT be something in 2018 worth gettng (unlikely at 12c kwh) so when my current scrypt pow miners go doorstops ..back to hobby mining

that is fine...I had more fun when I only had 2 miners anyway....and if I can keep my hoard of many coins....I can relive those days and watch the hoard

[CryptoPeter]

rx vegas do 1900 h/s on monero and suck only like 150w even at 12c kwh thats good

[Marvell2]

the coupons either need to be stackable or worth at leat $500 per d3

yet another slap in the face

[Ubersonic]

Hi guys, got my D3 recently and was wondering, what is the recommended/max temps the chip temp should read? I'm trying to tune the fan speed for less noise but don't want to worry about it overheating.  Also if a manual fan policy is set will the unit raise the fans anyway if temps become dangerous (I.E if the air con fails) or just let itself burn?

Thanks.

[Searing]

the coupons either need to be stackable or worth at leat $500 per d3

yet another slap in the face

yeah....forgot about that 'slime angle' likely they are only worth $150 off max (1 coupon, 1 miner unit only)

(will re-read blurb on this ..but bet it is how it works)

You can only use 1 coupon per product.
So no I cannot get a free S9.  If I wanted to use all of my 10 coupons I would have to buy 10 S9's !!

OMG, is it really so?  Why you can't combine them ?

yep..Bitmain is just playing 'mind games' with us IMHO. They got a mess of complaints....felt they had to do something, for meager PR reasons,

so they did this....hell.....it is more or less deliberate, in my view, just to put us 'customers' from their monopoly..in our place...

Also, look over the products you are getting from Bitmain....are they really, really NEW...I've heard reports of mis-matching fans that look

like replacement fans, differing labels from the supposed same batch, etc

My friend's view on bitcointalk, is that they are planning to get their mining OUT of China...esp with the hydroelectric rate increase that is being

touted by various provinces...and/of course, the nervousness about wtf China might do with bitcoin and other cryptos...Bitmain has already announced

mining halls in USA. So with that in mind are you gonna MOVE your equip from China overseas, or simply sell your stock from your current data halls,

and fill your data halls overseas with new equipment, simply for logistic reasons.....

anyway, look at your L3+ stuff.....if it doesn't look spanking new, it likely is not....

Also, if the above is the case, expect a hell of a lot more of Bitmain Toasters to hit the market.....no lag on equipment under the above scenario

like sh*t through a goose...especially if LTC and scrypt pow coins rise in price in relation to BTC and BCH.

Mine like hell boys and girls, but I myself am holding out for equip after the Chinese New Year and  just a HODLING LTC as much as possible as long

as my ROI'd miners hang together

Anyway, my view (I could be biased because when LTC went from 4.15 to 20 bucks and up, www.eastshore.xyz literally said they yanked
my 8 miners off eastshore's truck at the distribution house and took the stuff back in to use on their Bitmain data hall....and Eastshore had to give me and my partner
credit...(took them a month but they paid all the BTC back...eastshore that is) boy, was eastshore beyond pissed off ..if nothing else I can vouch for them, not that
they feel all that comfortable ordering in mass from Bitmain anymore...from what I can tell from their website since...

So if Bitmain can do crap like that to tried to use such equp and stop seg witness for LTC (which they eventually agreed to) they damn well can be slipping out used stuff,
IMHO, so watch for it

Well, you guys should be glad for that. Yet I see only negative feedback. So silly.

Sure they made a huge profit but there was a huge demand for these miners and they just took the opportunity (any other businessman would do the same).
It's not their fault you were hungry and did not make a proper research before.

Likely original purchaser and also likely only customers who got MINERS not just PSU's and

USB hubs...

Typical Shitmain strategy,and their dogs here barking...

If they confessed they made very big mistake and everybody who bought d3 is dissatisfied , they should give real solutions, not giving gift for them selves.
I have bought many d3 and i am not going to buy such scammer product so they can put those ticket in their supporter's asses.

Don't know why but I think you are reffering to my post  
Myself wanted to buy them also (but luckily to me was never fast enough). After few sold batches I did some gestimations and result was pretty close to what the current status is.

I'm sick of people like you blaiming others from your own poor decision.

Anyone mining on Antpool?
I just tried many of pools, and I can say that the best one in my eyes is CoinMine.pl, it's really stable without any issue and with good stats.
I just would like to know is it worth to try Andpool or not, as it's the strongest one with maximum of global hashrate.

Yeah I see it the same way. Everyone here complaining would have done the same and would not lose a single second of sleep over it if they were Bitmain.

Makes me kinda sick to read non stop bitching about Bitmain.

I got it you bought miners from them and they are not the magical unicorn pooping gold flakes all day.... For fuck sake, the S9 were and are still great machines as well as the L3+

Just take the coupon and maybe do your homework before you order. I lost batch  1 and 2 and also 3 of the L3+ because I did my research first. Does it make me sad, maybe a little bit, but thats life.
