If they sell enough to crash eth mining. It will crash gpu mining.
The E3 isn't really any more efficient than the GPU miners so I don't see how these units will make any impact at all. Like someone else pointed out there weren't enough of these sold to make a difference. Run the hash/energy consumption numbers and you will verify for yourself that this is no competitive advantage with the E3. For those who bought the first batch E3 worth $800, the price point is a clear competitive advantage. Also, if pay closer attention to the E3 notes, it says that the advertised hashrate and power consumption is only conservative and would probably change once it is delivered. We could be looking at 180-200 MH with less than 800 watts power consumption. Thats better efficiency than any GPU out there as of today.

Has anyone actually confirmed that these are asics and not just a custom PCB with RX570 dies on them?

Newer gpus are coming with 40% more hashes and bitmain knows that and is the reason why bitmain is also selling this to clear inventory for stronger eth asics in their warehouses and better sell now than lose it all when newer gpus are here, this asic is noweher competitive at this price range, now if it was around $400 then it would be.

It was competitive at the original $800 asking, actually. If you price out the same hashrate and power consumption (or slightly better, really), it'll cost you more than $800. At it's current price though? 100% agree, build a GPU rig which will likely cost less (unless you buy overpriced new parts across the board), will be more energy efficient once tweaked, and will likely supply a slightly higher hashrate, BUT you can mine a ton of other things as well. It's a no brainer, really. But at $800? If I hadn't already had rigs up and running when they released it, I would have at the VERY least considered it...

These should be at most 1200$, with the threat of eth hybrid POS on the horizon and gpu equilhash hashing power shifting to other algos soon.

Bitmain has painted themselves into a corner. Not that it matters. They've flooded the market in a price downturn and now they can't achieve enough efficiency enhancement to up price the new tech coming. Even if they could hold watts the same and triple hashing power, they can't realistically justify a $1,500.00 S9. Things are extremely grim. I take solace in knowing that a bunch of greedy corporate maggots that went "all in" on mining are about to get their throats ripped out. No matter what their KWH rate is. I will piss on their graves.

Be careful guys
I receive a mail with a limited offer of new scam model E9+ (2970 mh +5%) Presale with 200 usd coupon, algo Ethash
with an address to deposit, only for registered users.
Be careful dont fall into this Scam mail with a pdf with false info.
It seems legit because they have all my info, full name, address, etc,. but is fake.
Spread the word with your friends.

At least Bitmain did their part and basically emailed everybody who had their email leaked last year to warn them about these scam emails. I got mine a few days ago and if you don't frequent the forums you could of easily fell for those types of scams since they appear legitmate.

Its not only the email, they have full names, addresses, phone number, VAT and all other information that bitmain have received. Probably got passwords also, and this leak did not happen last year.

It seems this can be true. Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm is very adaptive and creating an ASIC for it is like creating a mega GPU.

76db noise seem to be very high. Comparable GPU rigs have less than 60db and it is hot here

The E3 is made to be an industrial miner like nearly every miner Bitmain makes (placed in a datacenter ideally), where noise isn't a concern. If noise is important to you, consider GPU mining. GPU rigs make less noise because the E3's compact and it needs fans that produce high pressure and airflow to cool all the components inside. Bitmain uses their good 'ol loud fans to do that. Additionally, it seems Bitmain also lists the S9i and A3 as being 76dB now (I assume the rest of their miners all do now besides the Antrouter and Z9); I recall it wasn't at that specific number previously. Still as loud as a vacuum cleaner or more, though.

Looks like old pandaminer a bit imo they at least put 5-6 gpus on single mobo and pack it,looks like bitmain went step further with it.Lets just hope that they deliver better product then pandaminer did ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

They should begin shipping next week. After seeing the 50% hash improvement by OCing the z9 mini, I am anxious to see the hash on the new E3 with full Over Clock.

Has anybody received the E3? They haven't shipped yet, I got in on batch 1 and bought on 4th April, and its still sitting on unshipped. 2018-04-04 00:02:48 Unshipped

These wont likely be as successful with overclocking compared to a z9 mini, thats if bitmain allows you to on the interface.
