[NEW] Bitmain Announces Antminer A3

[premanand1984]

To those that have started to mine.

How much watts is it pulling? Any chance we could just run the APW3++ run on US 110 V?

APW3++ only 1200 watts on 110v. Even if bitmain overstated the draw, which they usually do....you would be cutting it awfully close.

Can someone post the power consumption details about A3 please? Really curious about a possibility to run Antminer A3 on 110V using APW3++....

Tested with 240V. Power is 1450W on wall

 On stock clock

Holeeee shit. Seems like they overclocked the shit out of these things. Just like the D3. What Frequency do they run at to get the 815mh??

Frequency running at 600.. temp is good, very stable miner..

What pool are you on ? How much is the miner earning per hour. Could you please share the configuration page, graying out confidential information. Thanks.

my pool is siamining.com

Mine was picked up at noon on today the 28th (13 hours ago though since I'm talking Chinese time).  I am in Iowa and estimated delivery day is Thursday.

You and me are on the same boat. Mine was just picked up a couple hours ago from Bitmain. Downright ridiculous.

Let's just hope that Bitmain does not make a *ferengi greed* move and manufacture a DECRED miner also.

BAD NEWS for A3 owners. Obelisk tech (sia) is still strongly considering the fork that would make A3 a paper weight. read below.


Obelisk January Update
By now, many of you have heard that Bitmain announced the Antminer A3 last week and has started shipping units to customers. The A3 mines Siacoin at a hashrate of 815 GH/s and power usage of 1186 W. This means that, when the Obelisk SC1 ships, it will not be the first Siacoin ASIC miner to market.

The Obelisk SC1 is slated to outperform the A3, with 800 GH/s hashrate at only 500 W. These are minimum specs, and we expect the SC1 to perform even better than promised. This is good news: based on current A3 specs, the SC1 will be far more competitive.

We are currently on schedule with SC1 and DCR1 production, and will have test chips back in March. If all goes well, we could be shipping Batch 1 units in May, and Batch 2 units six weeks later. Our official ship dates are still June 30 for Batch 1 and August 31 for Batch 2.

Forking the Network
The Sia community is currently debating a soft-fork that would exclude all Bitmain A3 units from the Sia network, while leaving Obelisk SC1 units fully operational. We encourage you to contribute to this discussion, and ask that you disclose your status as an Obelisk customer when commenting. Discussion is taking place on Sia's Discord and Subreddit.

Wire Transfers
Due to large amounts of fraud on our accounts, our bank has asked us to disable wire transfers for the duration of Batch 2 sales. We will do our best to work with our banking partners to re-enable transfers, and add other cryptocurrency payment options to future batches. As of today, wire transfers have been disabled on all new orders.

It's been posted already. Everyone is well aware of the risk.  That would also be a *ferengi greed* move and sure to backfire long term.  What would they do after HalongMining (assuming they exist) introduces their 3.5TH miner that blows away both A3 & Obelisk?  What,,, fork again?   I am starting to wonder whether the SIA dev team is outright amateurs. They never should have entered the ASIC market,,, did they really expect competition to ignore the millions to be made?
