[NEW] Bitmain Announces Antminer A3

[badger88]

With the diff is increasing day by day, the profit is decreased up to 20% / month , and you will get few dollar / day

the difficulty is way down -it must be part of the '10 minute block' adjusting still... thats good

Yeah, I'm just hoping the price will recover. It's a crypto graveyard out there...

Profits will double...the algorithm just caught up to block time, so now its adjusting again back to 10min blocks from 20min

Hoard you sia, trust. It will reach 10 cents, at which point A3 mining will have been massively profitable for those who held their coins.

selling at 10 cents would be bad, .30 cents minimum

....and this is the time to buy. All crypto are now resting near their massive breakout ( read huge support) point of 6 months ago. I'm buying everything I can handle right now. Sia at .028, BTC at 8,550.00 all the way down to 7500 BCH, ETH etc etc. This is the opportunity of the year. Even if it's just a short covering rally, these assets are going to have a "rip your face off rally" in the near future. The lower they go the more I buy. I haven't held a single coin from my mining since BTC went over 14k. I could very easily see that all the stunned sheep like idiots were piling in. Time  to bleed little sheep. Their scattered all over the landscape. Maybe a few more to slaughter then the smart money will take their fire sale positions for a ride. Been waiting so long for this cleansing. It's the best thing to happen in Crypto in a LONG time.

Yeah no, I'm definitely hoarding. No ways I'm selling after putting up with this leaf blower for 10 days...

What do you mean by long time? The slow bleed of alts because of BTCs uptrend to 20K put them all lower than what they are now in November/December..

[rolozcar]

I would not buy the second batch of A3, seems like the same thing that happened to the D3s

[nsummy]

yup, there should be a balance in pricing and production in order for everyone to be happy.

If there was a clarity, that only this many units will be sold, then buyers will have choice to calculate the ROI /profit and invest accordingly, not like you keep producing and pushing the miners and even worst reduce its price within 3weeks, clearly shows manufactures mentality.

Why would they release the number of units they are making?  Obelisk did this and look what happened.  Bitmain has to weigh production with the risk that competitors will come out.  Why would they limit the number they are producing when another company could start making these things and sell 50,000 of them?

[nsummy]

Yep...as of 9:49pm CST midwest usa....they still have T9's and the A3's at $980 left (march orders)

I'm passing

did they ever do the $800 buck obelisk coupon thing or was that just not true?

curious...I swap'd my 5 800 buck obelisk coupons to a 'long shot bet' by a buddy on them ..he will get 5 ...1 will go to me for free for the coupons and I think I also get

another $250 buck coupon for future purchases....(does that mean I've already ROI'd) these are Decred machines by obelisk likely July 2018 soonest if not later...by the by..



so he will pay 1k each for his 4 of my 5 coupons...he is big enough it won't matter much ...and he is betting on the fact bitmain will play games and decred may not come to pass

(possible) he is big enough however ..that 4 units for him would be equiv of 1 A3 bitmain bet for me now...but I told him not playing this game (learned from D3's)...just not gonna

do it ...I will however toss my unused (and likely never IMHO to be used) 800 buck coupons his way....on that same batch I still have 1 $400 buck coupon and 4 $250 coupons

prev to this $800 coupon offer...so wtf....(yeah, this could not go badly..sia-tech is now on what 3rd batch of vaporware)....anyway doorstop/vaporware etc it is a free

decred ASIC doorstop at worst ..no risk for me. (unless likely on thurs bitmain announces they will take 800 buck coupons....wait for it)




what do folk think? are we missing the boat on getting this A3 at this $980 price...or is it as I fear.....the antminer D3 not to ROI ( I have ROI'd on my D3's only

if I count my 300mh Baikal from may 2017 that has made 4k worth of dash.thus lost roi on the D3..but if I say to everyone I broke even on X11 miners....less angst)

so with above ..I can KINDA say I roi'd on x11 (with the Baikal cube cheat above) just don't want to go thru all that again with dubious A3 (already have 5 dubious

obelisk siacon miners coming, June 2018 at the earlest..yech!!)



I suppose now you all will tell me the 800 buck coupons will be or could be used with the current A3's that would pretty much round out my week as it has gone so far

anyway......how it stands on dubious equip...so far....TRYING to resist.....

so what do you think is next for Bitmain and its evil empire?

An ASIC miner for Etherium perhaps?

Bitmain: We do evil first, if evil needs doing...be prompt! (tm bitmain)

Are you saying your buddy paid you $1000 each for coupons that don't official exist?!

Surprisingly the Difficulty went down from almost 12M , down to 7.9M

Earnings are up from 1.17 SC/day per Gh , to 1.70 SC/day per Gh.
(unfortunately SC Value got crashed along with all other cryptos and is now only like 0.025 , own from 0.4 just a few days ago.

I think its all the dual miners exiting

It's a bugfix in the sia network implemented to fix block times, it's was announced quite a long time. Difficulty is still expected to drop quite a bit,

Which is why Bitmain just opened ANOTHER batch of the bastards and offered a 3 x more per person limit of purchase.

The total hashrate continues to go up which leads me to believe that Bitmain is manufacturing and mining their own stock of batch 2,3 miners.  If total hash rate goes
above 9000Ths,,,, it is pretty certain that Bitmain is producing and mining the hell out of batch 2 already.  There is no way that batch 1 A3s are still coming online at this rate.

I'm sure there are batch 1 A3s coming online still.  That said, its not a secret that Bitmain uses the miners before they sell them, so I don't see what the big deal is.  If you are this worried now, what will you be saying when Obelisk releases 2 batches this summer?  Its mining, the hashrate of successful coins will always be growing.
