Re: Bitmain Antminer A3 earning $500 a day mining SIAcoin . .WHAT?! Results & Stats

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

As far as I know bitmain is going to release ASIC ethereum miner. So I think this will be the next something like "sia attack". Ether with asic can have a great profit. (P.S I don't know that fact 100% sure, just heared here in some topics). If that's real, I think it worths to wait and put all money/effort in it.
On another hand would buy baikal giant miners if they are in stock or possible to buy.

ETH miners are already out, at least some people call them asics anyway.
Baikal are very expensive.

Ummm, link to an ETH asic? As far as I've known for, like, ever, it's a strictly GPU algo...

I'm with you on that one. I think it would be extremely difficult to create an ASIC for ETH (ethash algo) because as far as I know you still need a large amount of RAM to hold the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Now if someone has figured out how to take eliminate the DAG requirement, or figured out a way to share access to the RAM, which holds the current DAG, for all the ASIC cores calculating the hashes, then that may change. The current ETH DAG is approximately 2.34 GB and growing, growing, growing. The current estimate is that 3GB cards (like GTX1060) will be no good for ETH in May 2019, but I would bet that the end is closer than that, since not all 3GB is actually available to hold the DAG.
