Bought couple of units, probably was a bad a idea. Did some forward projections with last 8 weeks as a past sample size, looks like we will lucky to make 10 bucks a day when the November batch comeouts for D3

That is about what I came up with also is we will be lucky to see $10 a day out of these... And that may be a little too optimistic. All depends on how many miners they are shipping from each of the vendors and what Bitmain is going to be shipping. Maybe you'll catch a break if Bitmain sales choke off the sales of the other miners. Hard to know.

I know my Baikal's are just getting destroyed already so I don't think they will continue to run for a lot longer with the way things are collapsing already.

I don't think it will be nearly that bad and I'm optimistic it will actually be much better. If I'm completely wrong and it only mined exactly $10/day indefinitely (for the sake of easy math), it would still only take 7 months (216.5 days) to reach 100% ROI @ $0.10/kWh ($2.88/day in electricity = $7.12/day profit). If that's the worst case scenario, then this seems like a REALLY good bet to me.

Sure mate because coz we all know ROI always will stays constant at 10 bucks a month and difficulty and all other factors wont reduce it. lol!

$10/day was the number that was suggested, I just ran with it. Nobody actually believes the profit per day will stay constant. I think it will actually be much better than $10/day. So do lots of other people apparently. We could all be wrong, but I prefer to be optimistic.

Full disclosure: I don't have a crystal ball.

Fair enough I see what you mean... In my high level feeling, only people making money out of this is Bitmain and the re-sellers

Let me tell you what my opinion is and for this lets take a look in the recent history no more than a year ago. So we have these S9's which at the time of arrival were making 10$/day, now with the rise of BTC-USD they still make 10$day.
When L3+ came out they were calculated at approx 35-40$day, rise of difficulty is present now and they still make the same ammount of money now as calculated in march.
So if the D3 is profitable now to a ridiculus levels i think that it still will be when we get our hands on them but 10$day is some dark dark stuff...

Also order was updated showing VALID now ... i can breath

Happy mining!
