Current Dash network hashrate is somewhere around 15 TH/s. That means that if there was a total of ~7000 Antminers D3 sold in the first 3 batches, that the network hashrate is going to jump by (15GH/s=0.015TH/s) 0.015 TH/s*7000 = 105 TH. That is of course not including other ASIC manufacturers and making an assumption that all those Antminers already sold are not already hashing right now. This is pretty much a 10x bump in network hashrate even for first 3 batches. Does that means that the profits are going to be cut 10 times, leaving you with 20 bucks a day?

Am I mising something?
Do you honestly think the 15 TH that are mining now are going to stay on? Also, the other miners are going to be a minority. There's been historically a price increase with hash increase. We'll have to see if that holds true.

I do believe they are "testing" the miners that are about to be shipped, but even if 2/3 of the current hashrate are the ones that are going to be shipped, its still a ~10x increase. In my calculations, this batch coiming in november is looking at ~20 bucks a day, and its probably going to be a 3-5 months to ROI
