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

[Bitfort]

How rare is it that I have "foundblocks 1" on my antminer d3??

I've been running it since the start of December on my 19.3 gh/s d3? It makes me wonder if I should have just solo mined because I would have just earned 1.9 Dash coins instead of what I have now (less than .41 dash)

Check https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/dash-mining-calculator/ (put in your miner hashrate, current network difficulty and see "Days to generate one block mining solo")

I've tried out of curiosity and result was 266 days to find block ( using 19.3 Gh/s)
BUT
You need to understand this is pure average value
so it's possible you can find 2 blocks within that period (and during next 266 days you won't find any)
or you could find 0 blocks during that period and then find 2 blocks during next 266 days period
or if very unlucky you won't find any blocks for 798 days (3*266) and then can find 3 blocks in a row.
etc. etc.

I have an idea that could improve ROI on the D3, but i don't have a D3 to test on. Will someone who has a D3 do the following and send me the files?

nanddump -f /initramfs.bin.SD /dev/mtd8
nanddump -f /am335x-boneblack-bitmainer.dtb /dev/mtd6
nanddump -f /uImage.bin /dev/mtd7
nanddump -f /u-boot.img /dev/mtd4

You can use an application like winscp to get the files off of the miner. The miner uses a ramdisk, so these files will disappear on reboot so you don't have to worry about storage space.

It's not rare at all. I get several. Unfortunately if you were not on the pool you would not have those "found blocks".

curious to know if a 4th chain can be connected to the D3 since there is a 4th socket on the controller board.
The S9 only got 3 sockets.

Well, looks like I have maybe another month mining these 2 D3's. Between the 2 of them I get 35gh at 10c kWh usd @2400 watts at the wall at 220 volts.

or $5.10 a day after electric.

does not bode well, even if I bring them back home from the data hall and use as a basement space heater this rest of winter.

alas!

mate dont use cryptocompare calculator it's worst calculator, it says you mine 0.013 dash per day dash price is aroud 800 so 0.013*800=10 usd per day not 5

the calc likely is, as you say NOT correct, but I only mine 0.009 dash per day! 0.009x 800 is 7.20 usd ..but no way do I mine over 0.013 per day!

them days are gone....


what is a more LEGIT calculator? (more or less)

i usually use coinwarz calculator u can add difficulty by yourself there and also i check average block difficulty for 24 hours so i have a clue what number i should add it to it. this way i have some kind of clue how much i make per day it's usually -7% to -8% difference from that calc

i usually make around 0.008 dash per day with my D3 only 1

never really could figure that one out......i understand the add your own difficulty rate..just never have a clue...so I just use the snapshot method or KISS principle....

on a calc...but I guess the calc I picked sucked for that purpose..

not sure how you are getting 0.008 dash per day..I'm getting 0.009 per day for 2 das miners at 35gh?

I messed up my calcs ..(to be fair....I will never ROI on the 2 D3's but with all my x11's (counting the 300 Baikal cube..I will, however, ROI on X11 machines on a WHOLE ..it

is all in how you frame your decisions for the old 'ego')

So anyway, looking at ALL x11 machines (2 D3's and the 300 cube baikal since MAY 2017) and seeing I squeaked by 'barely' with ROI and still making more than I'm using

with electric for the 2 D3's kinda ignored stuff.....so MISSED the fact I'm getting TWO payments of DASH per day...so I"m really getting 0.018 dash per day for about

(at today's price of $780.50 Dash or at 0.018 dash per day that is = to $14.05 per day which is much better than the $7.03 (before electric) I previously thought with my 'wrong to use'

dash calculator pointed out and my plain mistake.

Sorry, for the confusion..nice to see I'm wrong for once in the correct direction  $14.05 per day (before electric) is considerably different than the $7.02 I thought I was getting!

So, anyway, duh.....looks like I can still run these for a couple more months...sometimes it is 'good' to be clueless...(if you catch it)

sorry for the confusion..thanks for the help in pointing out a better calculator and that forced me to re-look at my 'assumptions'

I sold mine, got 200,000 Bitbeans, price went up and been sprouting them, got my ROI. life is great...

I had no idea what you were talking about so I checked this bean thing out.


I am happy for you that it works, but the website of bean team is already a reason for me to immediately forget it, let alone put money in it. How can you expect to build a community and trust in your project with such a shitty website?

I can't help but laugh when I see that funny looking bean thing on the website

ahhh well we all can't he perfect, but the community is there. Don't judge a book by its cover, the Beans are very lucrative.

Dash price dropped from $1200 to below $600 just within last month      With current difficulty of 124 mln, and 10 cents/kW cost, mining becomes unprofitable

no idea were you saw 124 mln dif but avarage dif for 24 hours is 81 mln but still thing about price sucks

always calculate average difficulty not current one

[thiec]

Say goodbye for DASH for time being except you want to hold (speculate) DASH until its rise again and you have to cover your electricity expenses first

[cuteman]

Yeah, currently it's around 70mln.  Seems I looked into it during the night . 

Indeed, if you look into average chart it looks more promising, though not good 

[cuteman]

Diff is 130M now  ,  and profit is NEGATIVE 

We can be saved by only market increase.

Only big whale and insane people mining DASH right now. LOL
Market wont increase as long as the "forefather coin" still under selling pressure

[ras grio]

Hello everyone, friends, I am new to this market and I found a situation that caught my attention, I found in a currency exchange a price is very low but its volume is 2 billion and big players with 20, 30, 40 , 50 bitcoins are on the bench. The logic with little variation in earnings will be great, the problem that this currency is stable for a few days does not change its price.

Does anyone have any opinion on this situation?

Seems Bitmain's monopoly comes to an end 

Well known Mining Conglomerates, Bitmain and Canaan Creative, are about to be given a run for their money as Samsung has announced it will join in the mining game.

Yesterday Samsung confirmed that it will begin manufacturing ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Chips) chips which will be used in cryptocurrency mining specific equipment.
