first time ever diff is going down???
https://siamining.com/stats

Diff is supposed to go down to adjust to 10 min block time

I have no idea why hash rate would go down from 8400 to 7900. Bitmain testing batch 2?
I could make a guess that they put a lot of units online over the weekend for testing. There would be no other reason why the difficulty would keep climbing over late Saturday and all of Sunday. The last of the first batch shipments landed at peoples doors on Friday. Even if a handful were Saturday, no way that justified the levels of difficulty increase that we saw over the weekend. It was parabolic.

Well, Friday deliveries can be powered up on Sunday Smiley

OK, so after reading all of the last bunch of pages..  I guess it was a good idea that I swapped the A3 I had for two S9's?
Considering that they are 980 USD now and profitability went down so drastic.

So on siamining.com it shows 1.35 SC per GH/day.   = 1100  x .04 cents = 44.01 per day.    Two S9's make about that too I guess :-)

And that profit level will drop even more.  It is however not dropping as fast as the first couple days. WOW.  I knew it would happen, but I didn't think it was going to be that quick.  

Be happy though, as long as you are higher than 20 dollars like an S9 is bringing in, you are still ahead of the game.  That is 0.7 SC per GH/Day.

Or hold onto your SC and become a millionaire when its worth more than 4 cents.

I am so glad I am out!  Learnt a lot!

Foe next 45 days S9 makes $15.00 p/d versus A3 at $50.00 per day.

lol thats what I'm trying to tell him , I have a bunch of s9s and difficulty went up a ton in jan they are making half what the made back in early jan lool

S9 might be better in the long run after the march batch of A3 is released but for now its better to have 1 A3 than two s9 lol

Can you guys show me how your A3 does $50 a day?  I will look right now and get REAL numbers as I write this post.

From siamining.com
Hash Price Report
The last block was at height 139,794. The current block reward is 160,205 SC. Based on this and on the current difficulty, miners are being paid 0.0133 SC/TH, which corresponds to about 1.15 SC/day per GH/s

1.15 * 815 = 937.25      * .04 ( Cents)   37.49  

37.49 in bitcoin at 11000 BTC = .0034 BTC per day
I am doing .0021 per day per S9 X 2 for the trade i did = .0042 BTC per day for 2  S9

YES 1 A3 makes more than 1 S9  but for how long.  That rate of decay on the 1.15 SC per GH/Day was ALOT higher only a few days before.  The rate of decay has slowed, and will dropp more when next batch is online.  In the interm of two weeks  Assumed average of 30 per day after decay rate factored in is only a mere 10 dollars per day more than the S9.   14 days X 10 dollars is 140 dollars. YES more.  But this will drop even more SOON.  It was the best decision to drop the A3. I did it soon enough there was beleife that the A3 would be performing better than it was.

If it was so good, then why all of the sudden did so many come up for sale on the local classifieds?  They are only 980 at bitmain now.

If it made 50 a day NOW, you would have an agrument.  Redo your math and see what you are really making.  YES I know SC price can go up, and it did for a bit while network hasrate looked like it leveled off, then network hashrate went back up a bit, and price fell.  This means uncertanty. It would of been ok if there was no annoucement of the batch 2 at such a low price.

Besides I made 550 dollars the couple days that I had the A3 before it was gone.  This is about 14 days at the current profitibility.
I wish you guys luck on it, I was hopeful too, I knew the risks, and the rate of drop in the profit was the key indicator to get out.  This was backed with the Batch 2 release at the 980 price.



Before you start talking in dollars, you have to realize the whole market is in the gutter right now.  You could buy 3 1080tis for the price of the A3 and be making under $20 a day.  You need to set your expectations.  Profitability on every single algorithm is cut almost in half right now.  Anyone thinking they were going to buy an A3 and make 400 bucks a day for more than a few days was living a pipe dream.  Lets also not forget that BCH has lost value since this sale, so you literally would have lost money hodling.  $30 a day in the current market is not bad.

I agree $30 is not bad.

We are the worst block time territory. I belive each miner is making 40 sc an hour. Around 950 sc a day. If hash rate stays at 8000 TB until batch 2 is online, expect to make 2000 - 2500 a day once block times come back to normal which will be a week or 2  from now I guess. Just hang in there

U guess but don't know and that's the frightening part in all that. I thought shitmain is going to release 2000 units 3000 max but 7500 units killed our profits totally. They just turned first batch to ROI itself and and heaters sold. Just deal with this Sad

Can you imagine why they haven't posted anything about second batch on FB or other social media? Cuz us, the unhappy customers would be screaming in there for profit and they just avoided that. There's a pile of clever shitheads in that company. Now we need to focus how to fuck them totally!

It look like the price is now down to $980.

https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020180129095202674bwQAJFdr06CB


Considering the difficulty rise so far, does it still make sense to buy?

I don't think it is in any sense worth buying at this point in time for a March 2018 order....(or so I think I read)

(bad time for me to have bought 5 siacoin miners from obelisk...don't ya think? ) FML Sad

It appears that Bitchmain is cleaning house to prepare for a move. They're even selling t9's for God's sake!!They must have had them in some store room in the back and just found them. Most inefficient ASIC on the market right now. They are definitely launching all their stock.

You only live once....if you do it right, once is enough.

Yep screwed, no dinner...no flowers..no dancing ...no romance...just slam bam...hit the road jack

I mean really, I feel so USED....

well 50% would have gone to the IRS anyway, and 25% equip deduction (compressed) into 1 year I'd pay on taxes I owe anyway...so on about

$12,690.00 I think it was ..I"m screwed out of (in real $$$...see above) actually about (again if I remember right) $3,190.00


I feel sorry for folk who did not have above 'justifications' and ONLY are getting MAYBE the 25% equip deduction off taxes owed above....

we will see, but the only hope now is if siacoin as a storage token really does add decentralized storage worldwide at a $1 to the $10 Amazon cloud storage prices

if that is so ..maybe the A3's won't matter a wit.....(hey a guy can dream.....) Smiley

My dream is also that after some time SIA will turn into number 1 storage ... but that's a long run token... I do know that I should provide my daughter a nice birthday present when she's turning 18 Smiley

The network hash rate is now down to around 6 Ph/s. Seems a combination of Bitmain unplugging units and GPU's miners switching.

Haha  Cheesy...  I hope this is a joke. If not, sorry bro, I feel for you

at first, I thought the English was SOOOO bad, he had to be legit..but no one after getting a power cord could be that unlucky to

1) loud miner ..(like that is a surprise)

2) hot in chicken coop can't sleep there ..(really...)

3) chicken coop goes on fire (ok ....I'm off the boat)

4) wife hate me (you can't have a wife living in a chicken coop IMHO)

5) terrible enemy of man..well I'll give you that ....

All but 5) ..naw no one is that unlucky with that bad of English


Below is how he should have played this to keep this soap opera going......

he should have played this with better English and more believable



1) miner loud in apt...yeah I could buy this

2) too hot to sleep in apt ..wife is mad...ditto...can see this

3) had a small fire..meeting with apt co-op may get kicked out ....

4) wife went to mother's, got bill for small fire damages...

5) bitmain terrible enemy of man...

the above way ..then you'd have me on your bitmain hating soap opera forever!

So I have a board at 75 degrees running 30% underclocked in a subzero air environment. I am desperately seeking firmware updates!

Play around with similar clock speeds. Also make sure fans are manually set to 100%. 575mhz was getting 70C for me, but 581mhz got 55C. Something is wrong with their voltage calculations. This is also subzero for me as well.

Why would it unless someone or bitmain is yet to turn on  their farm. Lol

Obelisk shipping theirs before batch 2 A3 Is zero chance. But they didnt sell a lot to push  this 8000 THS network for anlther 200%.
