First Bitmain miner specializing in Dash runs out in less than two hours

Bitmain, the Chinese mining equipment company, announced at 11:38 am today, through its social networking account Twitter, the launch of its first ASIC embedded chip mining hardware, the Antminer D3 . Only 2 hours later, the team of Bitmain established that the first batch had been exhausted:
Antminer D3 specializing in the X11 algorithm, a 320 * 130 * 190mm and 5.5 kg equipment, offers a hash of 15 GH / s, with possibilities of variation of ± 5%; And a power consumption of 1200W if an APW3 PSU is used. This hash power surpasses all mining equipment specializing in the X11 algorithm released so far, including the recently released iBeLink DM11G, 10 GH / s hash power.

This first batch of equipment was sold at a price of $ 2,699, accepting payments in bitcoin, litecoin and US dollars; Strangely, no payments were accepted on Dash. Each equipment purchased has a guarantee of 180 days beginning on the day of shipment, which is estimated to take place between September 15 and 25 of the current year. Bitmain has stated that they will soon have a new batch of Antminers D3 for sale.

THE MINING FEVER
It is becoming more common to read stories about this kind of fleeting sales of mining equipment. In the case of Dash mining, both in the official sale of the iBeLink DM11G and in a private pre-sale months earlier, the availability of equipment offered was quickly canceled due to the massive interest in profiting from this activity.

But mining the X11 algorithm is not the only case. There is currently a widespread phenomenon of buying both specialized mining equipment with ASIC chips and video cards with sufficient processing power to mine cryptones; To such a point that the digital shelves of companies like AMD and NVIDIA have been emptied by the high demand of the miners. Given this scenario, these companies, joined by ASUS, have started to develop GPUs specialized in mining to meet the demand of both miners and gamers.

In short, the mining business has become so lucrative that, regardless of whether the criptomoneda is bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum or dash, a miner that goes on sale, a miner that runs out.
