Do you have to have a stake to vote or it's free for all?

When the people of the world will get that covid was intentionally released to frame china, steal the election from trump, assure massive bail outs and foster the forced vaccination agendas...they will forget, like 911, wmds in irak, uss liberty or pedogate.

Here's a pretty cool site that shows real-time ASIC profitability for all of them, including the ones that have not yet been released:

https://www.asicminervalue.com/

The E3 is pretty far down on the list, below the S9.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom to set your electrical rate.

No need to vote. Actually this is a mining rig! So what is the problem except the expecting price?

Anyone else think that these boxes aren't asics? With the size / power consumption i'm willing to bet these things are rocking sophon cores. If that is the case, hard fork all you want, it just takes a cgminer update for these to come back online.

It's cheap but the power efficiency is everything long term and better for density. Electrical infrastructure is a bottleneck.  My rx 470s and 1070s outperform this substantially. Plus this is terrible for home mining if it sounds anything like my S9s. A GPU is made to be quiet. It is also nice that if I ever want to resell my cards I can get a little money. I can see how this can seem like a good idea but my Bitmain stuff needs constant attention. My GPU stuff I sometimes forget about because of the stability and ability to stay cleaner. I haven't bought GPU in over a year but I remember seeing mining specific cards in bulk for 200 each. Rx 470s. Prices are relatively close.

At this cost the e3 must be using cheaper slower memory. Which means bitmain is using the newer faster vram on the f3. Id wait, maybe halong have something in development for ethash.

Kidding? The coin communities are starting to hate bitmain. I'd expect most coins to continually switch up algos.

This is just the beggining then, more and more efficient miners will kill GPU.

And whats the best is bitmain is making a shit load of money ask yourself this why do they want you to prepay months in advance so you can pay to build a asic for them to make money with for months than just as the difficulty sky rockets and profits go down they ship you your brand new (USED) miner

The first batch of the E3 seems to be back in stock on Bitmain's shop site if you're still interested in buying one of these machines. Shipping date and price still remains the same as before.

Don't forget if you're buying one of these that noise will likely be comparable to an S9/D3 or any recent Bitmain miner. They're industrial miners for a reason, these things aren't made to be low noise. Nothing regarding specs outside of hashrate and power consumption has been released yet, but I find it unlikely these will be anything near quiet given the design and Bitmain's past fan choices.

It may. There are Chinese made non-branded video cards around, so its probably not difficult to make a custom design like this around 6 standard GPUs like 1070. But could it made to sell at this price with memory?

Honestly this is not a very impressive miner especially with a possible Hard Fork. I personally hope Bitmain chokes on all of them!  Shocked

There is no F3, The E3 is what people thought the F3 would be.  Cry
