Bitmain jumps into the X11 arena with their new miner: Antminer D3



Bitmain has begun making hardware for different algorithms aside from sha-256 (Bitcoin algorithm). They created one for scrypt and now, they've created an incredibly fast miner for the X11 algorithm.

Antminer D3 - Specifications

  • Hash rate: 15 GH/s (Variation of ±5% is expected)
  • Power consumption: 1200W (at the wall, with Bitmain’s APW3 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp).
  • Dimensions of the miner: 320*130*190mm
  • Hashing algorithm: X11

Antminer D3 - Profitability

As a summary, it looks like ROI for this hardware is about 11 days. This is an incredible value for new hardware and i hope we see more ROI's like this!

Summary

Very interesting new miner on the block with very, very high ROI. Definitely, something miners should consider if you're looking to upgrade your current gear, or even coming into mining for the first time!

    Mine X11 coins using Ubuntu

    I recently reformatted my computer and decided to try out Ubuntu as my OS. I'm pretty new with a lot of Ubuntu but I decided to figure out how to mine using the .sh files as opposed to the .bat files used on windows OS's. To help other miners through this process, i'm hosting some files in my DB account that you can use as a boiler plate. Mining software files are here . Download and extract. Alter these .sh files with your credentials. Run scripts by goingto their directory and typing ./mine.sh and ./minecpu.sh in separate terminals And there you have it, It's that easy! You'll be mining in seconds.

Cryptobanks provide a service-payment infrastructure; a communication between the crypto-world and the fiat-world, opening up an opportunity for users to pay in cryptoassets, and the merchant to receive funds fiat money for ser...
