Yesterday Bitmain announced they are releasing a new batch of Antminer D3 Dash Miner on August 10 5PM HongKong Time.
Here's the original tweet.: https://mobile.twitter.com/BITMAINtech/status/894775620688674816/photo/1
Each unit costs 1599 USD ( 0.45672404 BTC; 33.3125 LTC ). Shipping costs will vary.
Planning to get 2 units as that is what my group can afford at the moment. Fingers crossed, we'll be logged in by then and ready to purchase.

Profitability
Well the initial batches of D3s I believe are still to be shipped this Sept/Oct. We don't know how drastic the change on mining difficulty will be. But at the current difficulty rate, using Coinwarz's mining calculator, a single D3 can generate about 3-4,000 USD in a month.?? (Sounds unreal). I tried doubling the value of the difficulty and it still gives about 2000 USD in a month!

We'll be fighting hard to get our hands on at least 2 rigs. Let's see how it goes.
Thanks for reading!

Trying to get my hands on one of these myself. Trying to get a loan from a friend. With numbers like this you'd be crazy to pass this up!
Check my previous posts... we were able to get our hands on 6 L3 miners! We were hoping for 8 but they got sold out within a day.
Website went down on Aug 10!! Why?
too many connections they got DDOSed :)
