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!

    PoolWarz SHA-256 Auto-switching

    What Is Pool Warz? PoolWarz is a pool (with a collection of different mine able coins) that has a little bit of a different approach to the set up of your miners. Creators of this site also bring you CoinWarz , and RigWarz , now have their own pool, they're not linked to one another however. Within PoolWarz , when you create a worker, you only point your hardware at one URL, as opposed to multiple different URLs for separate coins. At anytime you can alter what coin this worker is mining by changing where it's pointer (or "assigned" to ) on your dashboard in your PoolWarz account. Subscription There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. ...

    Shift Payments Mobile App - Android

    As you know, I just got a Bitcoin credit card from Shift Payments which i reviewed a few days ago here . Overview I love the card, and a mobile app for a product like this, in my opinion, is a must. The application is pretty handy and basically takes the place of any kind of website account / web-app. The app is for both iOS and Android devices, I'll be using the Android app. Boot screen Something that a lot of apps seem to forget, that Shift  hasn't, is above all keep it simple. The app has a clean simple design that makes it very easy to navigate and consume the functionality within. Wallets & Accounts Accounts screen With the ability to add and remove accounts on the fly, and choose your active account (The account you withdraw bitcoin from) quickly and easily is done very well. It drops that average "slide in" menu from the left or right as most mobile apps use, which is great because that's just one less tap you need to...
