I got one, but its not good

Sigh, why sell D3 miners when current D3 owners are not profitable as it is.... That is juz bad.
Innosilicon has a stronger dash miner but are selling it at a ridiculously high price for wat it does. Dash, in general isnt worth mining.

At 12c kWh electric with 2 Bitmain D3 dash miners....I made like $229.00 USD last month...my electric cost at 2500 watts was $216.00 USD big whoop

made $13 bucks....they are going to doorstop status soon...that certainly does not fly with NEW units out the door...even with a $200 buck coupon...

Yep, so with 13 bucks profit per month, we are never breaking even lol. And it is a loss making machine now that dash price has fallen. Even at few hundred bucks a piece, there is no profit unless u have free electricity...
And with new units being sold to raise difficulty, it is going to get worse. Are there people who buy it because they steal electricity?

A mess of threads are stating Bitmain is coming out with an Ethereum protocol (I forget what it is called) miner and a Decred miner

My bet is it will be after the 6/1/18 coupons expire.....then after that pre-order run (available fall likely..I've seen August) they will announce

the next gen scrypt-pow and sha-256 miners AFTER they have run them for 4 months in the summer...another pre-order while they run

difficulty up...

Bitmain: Where evil pays, because Jhain Wu got bullied in his youth...(we are so screwed) (tm: bitmain)

Again, just tossing out speculation about this...but looking pretty good on these miners though, or so the rumor mill goes

Well, this is how it works. We who got bullied do have a massive drive to shove it to the world :/

Unfortunately this did now end well for me, but I can still hope right

selling my d3s for $500, got about 12, lmk

I also will be buying coupons in about a week or two once I exhaust my current supply so get in touch if you have $200 coupons or bigger

[LiteMine]

D3 is now back in stock on Bitmain's website for $550 for March 21-31 batch.

I just noticed that on their site, like do they actually believe they can scam more people into buying these? Especially after the Blissz BIOS mod has been discontinued due to threats by trolls lol.

Tried to read through Blissz's thread to understand what happened. Care to explain? Also, what did his firmware offer more than bitmain's?

separate tuning of hashboards

Voltage tuning specifically, the D3 came out overclocked to hell and Blissz let us adjust it. He didn't want to opensource his firmware and the underlying miner code is under license, so trolls threatened to sue. I can't imagine D3's having a very long life without Blissz software.

Yep bitmain, pls stop with the D3. It doesnt make sense to buy or sell it...

[floppydisk]

Sorry for asking, any chance D3 still make any money at the moment? Or just as good as self paying heaters...

[digital$]

no matter where you mine(pool) X11(D3)not worth it @current earnings, unless you mining coin/s...holding until/if price recovers. 

[Searing]

Sorry for asking, any chance D3 still make any money at the moment? Or just as good as self paying heaters...

If I remember correctly my TWO D3's made $226 last month in DASH. At 12c kWh electric, I think I paid $216.....to electric company last month

so NO WAY can a D3 (or two) float...in any way shape or manner....


probably by the end of next month, you'd not make any on these D3 units, even if someone gave one to you!

(now you are in a dorm, have free electric..maybe if one fell off a truck at your feet...otherwise NOPE)

[Bombardier]

I'm happy with this:

you can still earn from $50 to $100 a month, depending on the diffculty fluctuation.  I did not have a negative profit yet, but sometimes close to zero.

However Samsung entry to the marketplace could lead to a lot tougher competitors for Bitmain, and reduce costs.

Or Samsung is making those chips for Bitmain...

In any case, don't expect any price reduction unless Bitcoin goes lower. Mining hardware is usually priced at what the market can bear + idiot tax. You might get lucky, e.g. I did with L3+ and didn't with D3.

If you are tired of mining Dash you can give LitecoinX a shot. Its on 4 different mining pools.

Of course they are... in limited supply after their own friends get to mining with it for a few months. Hail Bitmain! /s
