Anyone else get the impression Bitmain has been trying to push as many of these out the "presale" door as they can while they can, before the flood kills X11 profitability?
PS - there's stlll some up of the most recent batch, guess folks are starting to pay attention and WORRY about "is this gonna make me ANYTHING by the time I get it".
they are pushing the lower version out because they accidentally put up 17.5 Ghs version which uses 900 W so 16.6% faster 25% more efficient.
Looks like on the site they have the D3 with older chipsets which uses a lot more electricity.
as I said before in this topic:
if the so called D3+ can only do 17.5 Ghs I do think it's not worth it at all due to the hashrate increase we'll definetly see after the normal D3 batches.
just my 2 Mhs
No the current one they are selling it can only do 15ghs but 3 days ago they accidentally put up the upgraded version with upgraded chipset and than took it down.
I believe they did a rough calculation how much the D3 is going to hash and undershot themselves. Would not be the first time that a product is better than the initial specs
Well, the D3 is still available for purchase. The site is not crashing any more and everybody can get a hold of one. This is not good news for all those folks that bought one trying to resell it.
Also not good news for us, who bought it. I hope they are not going to release a D3+ soon because that would mean the D3 units will be worth nothing. My guess is people will start reselling them at a discount now.
But, I would really be interested in some confirmations about the real power usage and hash rate from the D3s in the first batch.
