We have made an overview page of all the coins the E3 can mine, check it out  https://cryptodelver.com/asic/antminer-e3

Hey Guys, let's buy every Asic Bitmain produces to help him dominate cryptos

And don't forget to buy and use BitcoinCash

Jihan and his friends are very worried about decentralization and they want us to gain a lot of money with then, together

Dont buy ASICs because they are contrary to the fundamental idea of crypto currencies - decentralization.

Do not support Bitcoin cash as it only serves to prejudice bitcoin and other currencies and strengthen Bitman - a company that is undermining the world of crypto coins.

Have many people on this thread actually ordered an E3 and at what price? I am curious if people are really buying these?

@siampumpkin
I bought one unit when the price was $800USD per unit.

I'm just curious to see this machine and also what's inside it.

where you able to use coupons on that price ?

I order 5 pcs (wanted to check are there any difference between same series)

Coupons were not allowed when it was $800.

Looking forward to you posting some pics when you get it. Curious to see what is inside also.

Well you have 2 months to wait, unless they ship them early.

Over 2k now per unit and climbing with the price of crypto...  Making those that jumped in on batch 1 at $800 feel pretty good about that gamble.

Bitmain Pushes Ethereum ASIC Release to July, Citing Disappointing Performance

Bitmain's new ASIC for Ethereum will only be released after July due to some initial problems with the chip's performance that the company hopes to address before shipping it to customers.

Industry sources also note that the chip is being manufactured using the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s 28-nanometer architecture.

This may explain why the Antminer E3 barely has a higher mining efficiency than a Radeon Rx 480 graphics card rig.  To help clarify what we mean, the Antminer E3 is advertised at 180 megahashes per second with an 800-watt nominal power consumption.   In contrast, a rig with six Radeon Rx 480 cards will produce 150 megahashes per second with a 900-watt nominal power consumption, and it’s hardly the most efficient GPU out there.

Got email from PandaMiner claiming they outperform E3  
----------------------
Dear miners:

Now PandaMiner have made the price adjustment, the cost exceed the ASIC E3. According to the comparison:



One more point, we support delivery in 7 working days, while E3 requires 3 month. Miners can gain a lot of mining profits during 3 month.

Price: $2508 per unit(PSU and shipping cost included)
Model：PandaMiner B3 Pro
GPU: AMD RX 470*8 cards
Delivery: 7 working days
Limited amount: 1000 units

Batch 1 E3 miners were much cheaper than the Pandaminer,
and 180Mh/s & 800W are not the final numbers as Bitmain has mentioned before.

Also Pandaminers have had a lot of quality issues in the past.

^ This..

I expect the hash rate will be much higher when it is released. I never expected it was ever going to be 180Mh/s. After the original announcement, I figured released product would be 200-220 Mh/s.

Now, considering other manufacturers are releasing a competing product, the fact that the Bitmain product  won't be released until July, plus the fact that they have been slowing raising the price, it might even be in the 230-250 range.

I don't think Bitmain is going to release a first batch product after another manufacturer releases one, and have the Bitmain product not perform as well or better.

Hmmmm and people were saying that they were mining with these for awhile?

This is just a copy-paste without reference so I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. The delivery date was always July. The original article seems to be confused saying that the E3 was promised to be delivered in April.

Do not buy panda miners. They didn't tell you about the HIGHER power consumption.

That panda miner consumes about 1300W while bitmain's E3 consumes only 800W (and maybe even less when it is actually shipped). There is no logic at all in buying more expensive hardware that earns less money.

I don't think it is wise to buy either of the miners. Either they will be forked out or the companies will delivery defective & used equipment as they frequently do.

Either way, the power consumption on 470s vs even just spending that money on 580 cards, a mobo/cpu/psu/ram, and risers? I'd go the latter every time, my 580s get the same hashrate as the E3 is advertised to and clocks in at about 720W +/- 10%...

Dont forget that they also screwed over their customers last spring when ethereum mining was heating up and there was the begining of gpus shortage,people paid in advance and never got those miners(later on they offered slower miners with rx550 or 560 gpus i forgot)Afaik they took payments in btc but gave $ in return when it turned out to be imposible to deliver and at that time btc was going up in price
