I making Bitmain my hate enemy. They drive big carrot to my anoose. I not mining this coin from no plug. Now quiet miner make my family eat just rice and I sell them lie of making Sia and getting meat. Bitmain will get poop package. I'm swearing to you.

Comment of the year!

Yea. But I feel sorry for family having father who invested food money in mining equipment.

@shutefight  How about spending the rent money as well to buy few more miners ... perhaps the situation gets better   

Help me make you understand. I sell chickens at good profit. I makes  smart decision. Making chicken coop empty for mining farm. Good good. Wife is yes to this. Then I get quiet miner from no plug. Bitmain making hate to me from my wife. Now empty chicken coup is sleeping place for shutefight. I am revenge now.

quiet miner no plug ?

You mean you didn't order a PSU , right ?

anyone know of a simple sound proof setup that doesn't require venting air outside?

I don't know, They're so loud I can hear it on the second floor from the basement. It's intolerable.

There are good YouTube videos on silencing Antminers.  Two options, use a cooler or just get a large plastic tub at Home Depot/Hardware store.  Use insulated ducting to suck air in and exhaust out.  Pack enclosure with fiberglass or acoustic foam.  Do put some type of filter on the air intake.  I had to scramble to get one put together yesterday but it really cuts down on noise.

im not very crafty when it comes to these things, is there a video on this method?  im cluelless as to what i should buy when i walk into home depot.

Get something like this to filter the air intake:

Thank you kindness asking. I gets psu. Bitmains forgets electric cord in miner box. This terrible trick on me. I look at quiet miner making only shiny view. No Sia and no meat for wife and babies. Bitmains makes cold nights and crying babies for shutefight. Electric guys at my home like movie actor. they drink money and not talk to shutefights. Just fancy silk shirt friends.

We will be releasing a new batch of the Antminer A3, the Blake(2b) miner, today!

Please note that:

1. Just like all previous batches of the Antminer A3, this batch, too, will have a limit of one miner per user.

2. To prevent hoarding by anyone or anybody and to allow more users in different time zones to purchase units in this batch, the same batch will be released four times starting at 2PM. The remaining releases will be at 4PM, 9PM and 10PM (29 January, GMT+8). As the stock in each release is limited, we suggest that you confirm your order by payment while the stock lasts.

5. All confirmed orders in this batch will start shipping after 15 March 2018.

I must have been dreaming thinking that batch 1 was the last.

[siampumpkin]

Bitmain just announced a new batch of A3 for only 980 USD. This is a huge discount over the first batch. Do you think this is their attempt to blow out their stock and dump the remaining miners before difficulty is out of reach for profitability?

So you will have 2 months to ROI. Hopefully difficulty levels out next week @$45-50/day.

from what I understand it is 5000pcs for the Chinese market to be delivered mid-March.  

Scratch that.  What the shit.

Don't scratch it, both, yesterday Chinese only sold out immediately, then international brought the site down. Crazy demand for heaters, probably this winter is too cold.

This thing will be lucky to be doing $10/day by April.  That is about the correct price for theminer though.  What kind of crazy pricing model are they working with?  $980.... that is almost 60% discount from original price.
