Bitmain Launches the New Antminer B3 Miner

[boxalex]

About UUpool, i somehow can not register. It always shows me invalid phone number, no matter if i use +3 or 003, what do i miss here?

How did you guys manage to register there?

You have to be wondering if Bitmain is ready to buy up the flood of coins that are going to hit the market when they pay out those tokens. I know I’ll be ready to snap some up at .25.

It just might turn into a waiting game, and I’ll admit that I bought coin at .92 when the project was announced.

I still firmly believe that if they execute on their roadmap, they will have a unique blockchain with a PoW machinism that provides a useful, if stateless, tensor compute platform. Picture an API that could be called in a python script to provide a set of interfaces to allow you to run inputs against a body of pre-trained convolutional neural networks.

Providing this capability outside of local hardware, or expensive cloud rentals, would be tremendous. Putting compute power into the hands of researchers who might not have access to traditional tensor hardware acceleration (GPUs, TPUs, VPUs, FPGAs, etc) is absolutely huge.

Whether the BYTOM team has the chops to capitalize on the resources at their disposal is the real bet.  

Worth noting. Their marketing effort has to simultaneously compete with the launch of the EOS MainNet. This is not ideal

Daily earning little bit over 26 BTM. Yeah sucks

Does anyone have any experience with pointing Antpool to Bibox's BTM wallet address? I'm assuming it works but how do I tell for certain? I have not got a payout yet, it's still stuck in "paying".

Not sure what to do b/c I don't want to lose out on earnings but I don't know if it even works or not.

You can just replace the fans. Get a low noise high static pressure fan for the push and any low noise decent speed for the pull. The loudest thing in mine right now is the psu (and the actual sound of the computations).

Here's the one I used for the push:

Thanks for your consultation!
Sorry for the delay of BTM payouts.

We plan to support two kinds of BTM wallet addresses, so that there are still some technical issues needs to be handled, please just wait patiently.

Please confirm with your wallet company if your wallet address can still accept BTM, if not, please change it asap.

We will cancel all "paying" payments and send them to the new wallet several days later.

Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns.

Best regards,
Joy

FYI, seems they are going to allow both types of BTM.

Anyone know which is better and which one do exchanges use? Do different exchanges use different types or can both be used???
Anyone know the differences?

Man, at least zcash 2nd batch has a 2 month gap. We took 2 batches with no gap lol...

Ok, readed the statement and went to antpool to see what why happens.

- my ERC BTM wallet adress is gone, so are the coins, i guess they are send back in some days to the new BTM adress, right?
- added the BM adress to antpool now, payout is set to 5 by default now, can not be changed as i see it.

The Questions now are:
- i made it allright, right?
- which exchanges support the ERC BTM adress?
- which exchanges support the Mainnet BTM adress?
- what happens with the BTM's that are on an exchange with an ERC adress? I guess the exchanges are as well updating, not?

[greyday]

So, what's the profitability?

Currently around $15/day. Roughly. It's hard to tell right now.

[henrylitee]

so the second batch have already been delivered? can we assume  that the dificulty have  already increased right?

Yup, i am currently mining with the second batch

[anten369]

does anyone use the Huobi.pro - ERC20 exchange address at Antpool?
Does Antpool support this address?

I'll say. For those of us that are trying to HODL our BTM, communication regarding the token swap has been beyond poor.
Most of the exchanges participating in the swap will not transact with larger regulated markets. (US, etc)

You're left with the illegal option of using a VPN and skirting regulation, or just...waiting and hoping that Bittrex picks up the pair?
Poloniex is likely not going to add the swap any time soon.

I'd really like to hold all of my BTM in MainNet tokens.

BitPie seems to function in the US, but their swap process is very opaque.
Steps seem to be:

1) Deposit into BTM ERC wallet.
2) Move BTM into Pie Bank BTM Account.
3) Wait for the weekly swap? Will the tokens appear in my wallet as some new asset? (This part is not clear)

Buh...

I have many payments still in the paying status. What do i do to get these payments?

Bitmain hasn't been that clear. A lot of us had our pending payments in the "paying" status cleared yesterday. Along with any existing ERC20 settings.
Support has provided the message that both ERC20 addresses and BTM MainNet addresses will be supported.
However, it seems like a "Sit down, Shut up, and Wait" kind of scenario.

Does ANYONE know if the Bytom team actually pre-allocated coins at a 1:1 ratio for the swap?
Because if the BTM team is paying for the swap (Which seems likely as the exchanges are doing swaps in "batches"), the situation could get dangerous.

[Junmity]

Does anyone have some insight into batch 3 date for the B3's?  I would hope bitmain would at least let us mine batch 1 and 2 for one week before they drop the earnings to $7....
