We are used to the thought that X11 algos are mined with equipment which speed is measured in Megahashes per second (MH/s). As an example, the legendary (and expensive) and is considered one of the best (if not the best) Dash ASIC miners so far. Now, what if we could get our hands on a piece of equipment that hashes 15 times faster for the same price? Is this a dream?

Yes it is, and it is called the Antminer D3. Recently, Bitmainannounced the release of a new miner that is meant to become a game changer.

As a result most of us who are mining Dash will no longer be able to do that. When the first batch was available, i calculate the profit for Antminer D3 and was about 8000usd/month – of course when i tried to by it it was already sold out:), few days later when i checked again was about 4500usd/month, now is 6500usd/ month – so it is going down and up an so on, the tendency is down. Dash difficulty is up by 4.20 times in 3 months. So assuming that the shipping date for next batch will be maybe 15 October and we will get the Antminer D3 with courier lets say 1st of november so in 3 months and 1 week, if the difficulty goes up again lets say 5 times till 1st of november and given the above facts from this article – i am skeptical that we will get ROI bellow 6months.

What do you think about this? Sorry for my English:) •. What a lot of people tend to be forgetting is that you also most likely have a value increase of the coins you mine. I’m always laughing when I see posts on bitcointalk from 2014 when people said: “Nah man, mining with my home machine costs me too much and only gets me 0,05 BTC per day (at the point in time worth few bucks now 225$) In my opinion it is all perspective and on what you plan to do with your investment. I don’t need to ROI within 15 days because I initially did the investment with money that was not intented for something else.

And you’re still 10 times better off just buying directly from manufacturer like Bitmain, Baikal etc than investing into some shady cloud-mining fuck where operative and management cost eat up all your returns. But each to his own, good luck everyone 🙂 •. Etherum difficulty has growth from 1 May until 1 July (3Months) from 338T to 1500T. How Do People Mine Vertcoin VTC. I think we can expect the same is going to happen with dash (so about 5 times in 3 Months).

It would mean: if we get our Antminers D3 in 3Months it will be mine about 5 times less then now. So 40$ (status today = 200$ a day) in the first month after delivery. Second month 30$ third month 20$ And then comes BITMAIN with their new devices like “antminer D3+” (which prototype as I suppose already exist) that will mine about 2 Times faster as D3 a we wiil get (maybe) only ROI and 5$ a day. The Bitmain will be more reach but we will be the same poor idiots. So, if i purchase a Bailak Giant+ today and get it by???

In Stock X11 Baikal Mini Miner Spec 150mh/s Algorithm Dash Low-power X11 Miners, Find Complete Details about In Stock X11 Baikal Mini Miner Spec 150mh/s Algorithm. DASH miner Pinidea Drx 1150M newest miner in 2017 (WITH PSU) low power consumption 820W on wall,4 hashboards high hash rate.

Get it hooked up and hashing, and I ordered the bitmain D3 and get it???? And i get it up and Hashing at that date it arrives, How much Dash would i have Hashed by the Giant+ to the time i got the D3 whenever that would end up being roughly? Because, if the hashrate difficulty starts increasing, what will i actually be getting on the day i get to start mining? How do the two different miners compare based on these facts?

As of 30 minutes ago Bailak said theyll ship a giant + in three days from payment received? Anyone gt this one figured out yet?

Mining Dash can be done at home with any recent AMD GPU! Our renewed interest in both mining and altcoins, especially DASH. We decided it was time to try and mine again. X11 altcoins haven’t been “ASIC’d” yet, meaning there isn’t specialized hardware for X11 algorithm cryptocurrency. This has made X11 altcoins easier to mine with consumer hardware.

I own an AMD Radeon 280X in my own desktop, so I figured I’d give it a run. It was both tougher, and easier to setup than I thought. I’ve mined Bitcoin many times before in the past and present, but with ASIC hardware thousands of times more powerful than consumer hardware, Bitcoin mining requires a ridiculous initial investment. Do promise to change that though. Why is DASH Easier to Mine at Home?

DASH mining won’t be profitable at this level for much longer, so get started now! Understanding that DASH utilizes the X11 algorithm is important to understand before mining.

DASH developers created this algorithm specifically to make it difficult for companies to manufacture hardware that solves it. X11 consists of 11 different cryptographic algorithms, so it’s more suited for GPU mining rather than CPU, although it is possible, but GPUs are more powerful at this. This makes mining more available to the people and decentralized as Bitcoin mining has become increasingly centralized. With that out of the way, let’s get into this. X11 AISC are on there way, so if you have a gaming rig, start mining now. It wouldn’t be profitable for long! Getting started with DASH Mining What’s needed?

• DASH Core Wallet • Windows Computer • AMD GPU of the following: • Cape Verde: 7730/7750/7770 • Pitcairn: 7850/7870/R9 270/R9 270X • Tahiti: 7870XT/7950/7970/R9 280/R9 280X • Hawaii: R9 290/R9 290X/R9 295X2 • Sgminer • Time and electricity Step 1: Get a DASH Wallet. Clicking receive will always give a new address, don’t fret, all these addresses allow you to spend payments received there.

If you don’t have a DASH wallet, please download the. Personally I don’t trust payouts to third party wallets, so I always download the core program, regardless of cryptocurrency. Open the program and it will begin downloading the blockchain, which will take a while, so it’s important to do this first. Be sure to backup this wallet while using it to ensure your Dash doesn’t get lost. Step 2: Download SGMINER Sgminer can be downloaded.Be sure to extract everything and keep it in an easily accessible folder. Other websites may include viruses with sgminer, so be careful when downloading. This is the mining program for AMD GPUs.

It also comes with binaries for use with other devices, but this tutorial only covers AMD GPU mining. Step 3: Configure Sgminer. I don’t think there are any comparative alternatives, with regards to performance anyways. But it is a delicate process to find the optimal settings and I would advise just finding a video on youtube that demonstrates how it is done, maybe you will find your problem that way. But if it doesn’t improve you could also add some leverage with cloud mining which is optimized for your specific coin of choice. I also use genesis mining as a supplement because the ROI is so low these days(about 4 mnths on 24 mnth contracts) that it may very well be the best investment around. The principle is still the same though, you have to research which coins will presumably rally the most and then go for those.

This way just makes mining possible for the technically challenged, those who don’t want to keep getting new graphics cards and gear, aswell as removing all stress factors for the pro miners. Either way, you may want to grab a discount if you do go for cloud mining, and genesis customers can share discount codes for newcomers such as this one: 809fKo Happy mining!

May the hash be with you 🙂 •.
