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.

and yet people are buying A3 like crazy. Must have really really short memory Cheesy

I believe most these people are new to mining. That's what the D3 brought in. They do NO research and have NO idea what they're doing or getting into. Just read some of the questions and comments in the forum. It's mind numbing. Some crazy foreign dude burned down his chicken coop the other day running an overclocked A3 on 110v.
