Re: Bitmain just announced the AntMiner A3 - 815GH/s Siacoin miner

so... a3 is a no go, I guess Tongue

Long term, A3 can be expected to do "as well" as L3 & S9 are doing at the moment. L3 & S9 are in range of $250-350/mo at the moment. Currently, the A3 looks like it will be doing $30/day for the next 50 days or so then maybe $10/day after March. Still not bad.

Long term, if the project is successful, I see SC at $0.20-$0.60 range within 2-3 years. That part is speculation of course.

I can promise you that after the next batches hit the network, daily profit will be around $2.50. Like the D3 is today. People keep forgetting.....this is ONE COIN. The X11 network was already dangerously thin and it contains several coins. This one.....not so much.

It depends on how many they sell on batch 2. If they sell same amount of batch 1, I am pretty sure it will be way better than $2.5. More like $15-$20 or better if sia stays at 0.03 to 0.04.

So Batch 1 sent daily profit from $500.00 to $40.00 and difficulty from 650 TH to 11,561,001 TH, and you think another batch of the same magnitude will only knock $20.00 a day off the current profitability? Huh

Um....ok.....if you say so. Roll Eyes
