Hello guys, i'm thinking about buy 3 antminer A3. Problems are: they will be ship around the end of march (i mean, if they don't scam me...) and the difficult will be higher for that time.
If you were in me, will you do it? If not, why?
I still haven't bought anything, but planning to do it.

Any help and answer is VERY welcome, thanks

Hi
i have the same struggle since a few weeks. I am checking the SIA calculator daily.

At the moment it still looks pretty good. Even if the ROI will increase double its still best to mine.
BTC with the A9 is waste of energy. T9 is waste of even thinking about it. Ether GPU mining is to much work to onboard maintain and the availability of the GPUs is bad.
Also the ROI on Ether is not that grate.
I am mining at the moment Verium and even this is waste of time. Same goes for Burst.

If we would receive the miner end of march and the average profit per Month would be around 500$ you would be ROI in about 2 1/2 months which is still better than every other coin ROI calculation.

The main prob with Antminer, when will u get your miner, what happen if it broke ( this will take weeks to ship it back and return) and what happen if it will be the next D3. You will not be able to sell it. GPUS will be possible to sell all time long.

Hope I could help you.
A3 still available!

Ok You get it in March and it takes you 2 months to ROI, comes May and then it could goes worthless because Sia *Obelisk* start shipping its units in April/May and difficulty will sky rocket!

The obelisk network was 'designed' to have 25% inflation of coin PER MONTH....with just the Sia Obelisk SC-1 siacoin miners that come out in maybe June 2018....with bitmain

coming out like toasters what do you think the ROI will be now...myself...Nada.....and add to the fact the Sia-Tech folk are assuming they will have a decentralized storage

system at 10c per 1 buck price vs Amazon cloud storage to use the ASIC's with...if they miss that target it becomes even less likely for any ROI of any flavor equipment

bitmain and/or obelisk..indeed you could have a network of Bitmain machines in place first and killing ROI even before the obelik units ship...you just need sia asic miners

nothing in stone about who makes them

not holding a lot of hope out for this working out ROI wise in any manner no matter your sia coin flavor/mnfg of equipment...it looks like a cluster to me
