  1. Specifications of the Antminer D3 are as follows:
    a) Hash rate: 15 GH/s (Variation of ±5% is expected)
    b) Power consumption: 1200W (at the wall, with Bitmain’s APW3 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp).
    c) Dimensions of the miner: 320130190mm
    d) Hashing algorithm: X11

  2. Power consumption figures will vary with your PSU's efficiency, the ambient operating temperature and the accuracy of the power meter.

  3. Bitmain recommends use of the APW3++ PSU with the Antminer D3. One APW3++ PSU can not power more than one Antminer D3.

Mining Profitability: (at the time of writing)

Totally missed it. Sold out in matter of minutes. Expected ROI is super crazy so expect the difficulty to go really high in upcoming months. Nonetheless this should be a great mining rig to add.

What does it mine:

Dash (formerly known as Darkcoin until March 26th 2015) is a cryptocurrency that focuses on privacy and anonymity. Dash protects your privacy by anonymizing transaction that you make over the network using a technology that is developed by the Dash team called DarkSend. DarkSend is inspired out of the CoinJoin project that was meant to anonymize Bitcoin transactions.

The new Dash rebranding of Darkcoin focuses on making open-sourced private digital currency more mainstream. Heavy emphasis are placed on security, instant transaction, and security when it comes to the Dash core development team.

Dash was released on the 18th January 2014 with zero premine coins. It uses 11 rounds of hashing algorithm namely blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo which makes it highly secure.

As of the current design, there will only be 22 million Dash ever created, making it a deflationary currency.

Believe it or not but Bitmain have just reduced the price
by $1100 dollars overnight! I guess they expect the
difficulty to really start ramping up when these and
others like it come online.

I'd be pretty pissed if I paid $1100 more per unit.
Still you'd get them earlier and start hashing
earlier too.

Do you think the profit will be Half? When do you think Antminer D3+ will come out?

Pretty sure it will. No idea what the future holds. That is the million dollar question tho.

The price is stil $1599 Dollars. Yes, diff. will drop. But you can also mine other X11 coins with this machine at a great hashrate. And yes, Bitmains game is evil, but you'd do the same. I bet they could deliver already today, but the devices are minig already in their pockets :D

lookslike, values are already swinging between 2.2k to 4k

By the time people get on hands it would be less than half when announced, later 2nd / 3 rd batch ROI will be more than a month.

so all are again in a loop !,
Are there anybody else out there other than these Bitmain, innosilicon, baikal etc.?

As the crypto community is getting bigger, someone should start with making such asics on their own(Unlikely).

D3 can be configure to mine other coins? I haven't read anywhere that you can configure it but then again I haven't look.

I got mine October batch & got it for $1599. I would not mind paying a lot more if you can hash early. You should get your moneys worth way before everyone else. What batch did you get yours?

Would love to see some updates on your rig when you get up & running.

Damn, I saw that too, I was actually thinking about buying 4 of them but they already sold out. No way in Hell am I buying the A5, spending $10 Grand for something I can get through BitMain for $3k
