Bitmain's E3 Ethereum ASIC Miners Shipped Yesterday

in #ethereum6 years ago (edited)

First batch of Ethash Asic miners shipped yesterday. Plugged in right away. Antpool worker is not 'working', although the miner configuration states that it is in fact connected, and mining. Not sure if any reward, or where it would be going. In Antpool, there isn't even the option in 'coinswitch' to change coin to ETH for the E3 to monitor on mobile. So far the E3 Asic miner is a dumpster fire. Hopefully it starts earning, and Bitmain get's their shit together. Thankfully, I was one of the first buyers, before Vitalik announced that he would not fork against Asic mining (because i'm a gambler like that), so I paid $800 instead of the current $2300 price tag.E3.jpg
