A3 Owners, we are so screwed! Look how fast the profit goes down ... it's like almost diving by half....

we will hit the ROI in about 6 months , as dragonmint and obelisks will come to the network we have the similar D3 story on our hands! And this is a first batch....

We do still have hope for @blissz to create a custom FW which could mine the other algos and if it would be possible for D3's to mine a siacoin that would be a dream I want to live but looking back to earth make's me feel terrible!  

I pray for @blissz! Let's all pray together!

Happy mining!
The A3 was made to mine the Blake2b algorithm and only the Blake2b algo. There's no way you can actually make the miner hash another algo unless you somehow changed the chips on it. It's an ASIC, not an FPGA. If it were the latter it might be possible, but the A3 is an ASIC. The best blissz could do is probably something similar to the D3 firmware or some improvements on it.
