Look Bitmain is going to take your money mine with your KA3 then when they have ruined the hashrate they will send you your miner. Do not recommend buying.

I received a KD6SE just two weeks before the KA3 was announced. Iâm so mad right now since as far as I can see my investment not gonna return 
How do you see the situation and the future from a kd6 owner side?
What should I do?

Sell it and try to make your money back. Or mine then try to sell it in a few months.

it should still be profitable in the long run. i say keep it and mine since you already have it.
no, the difficulty will skyrocket, you wonât get your miner in December, and mining will not pan out. The L7 I ordered in August didnât show up until March of the next year, ttfwiw. The price of electricity is continuing to go up, inflation is just getting started. IF KDA is going to go up, EVER, you would be better off to take your money, plus taxes, plus shipping and buy KDA, then sit on it and wait for it to go up.

I considered most of the scenarios from your analysis and they are very informative, thank you for the detailed analysis. The only way KA3 will be profitable is if Bitmain starts delivering
by mid-december or Jan atleast ( which I doubt ) and if no one buys Goldshell miners till that point of time thinking they are not going to ROI, thatâs the only scenario where the people/groups who received their KA3 in the first batch will get their ROI in 5 months considering the same price without electricity costs and with a difficulty spike of 125% over that 5 months. Having said that I have ordered my KA3 just to be in the queue for first batch, fingers crossed and hoping it doesnât become an another KD box saga for me 
Plot twist: Zilina is trash talking KA3 so no one buys it so he can buy it and mine it profitably

Did anyone actually bought it? 2 min after the start they were already sold out! I gave up on it after a closer look at the difficulty, but definitely, it is an exciting miner.
If the price of KDA goes back to $10-$20 you can make good money with the miner. If you buy the coin would you make more money if it goes to $10-$20 that is the ??? Remember mining is as risky as investing in the coin.
Wrong reply button sorryâŚ
After trying again, it seems it was the correct reply button. Please forgive the newbieâŚsheeeshh.

Best I can tell, the miner is exciting for Bitmain. Based on my mining experience, the manufacturers, middle-men, and power company all make money. Miners donât really make moneyâat least I have not been able to figure out how to generate black inkâŚ

I feel your pain, I bought KD MAX two days before Bitmain release KA3. Itâs a business experience write off now. Iâm going to hook it up to one of pools and trying to get my money out of it. No one will buy from me as long as KA3 is on market

So sorry , thatâs the -ve side to mining tbh, some of us brought the KD boxes when they are being sold at 5-7K and there was just frenzy, middle men were not even giving us $100 discount on the rates and look at it after April 2022, itâs just a paper weight and come December itâs just going to be an expensive paper weight

I was on the bitmain site at 9:50am ready to, once 10:00am hit, i added 4 to my basket and clicked next as fast as i could, it was already sold out.
Which might be a good thing in the end for me, if bitmain sells even 1000 of these, the hashrate doubles and the profit is halved.
Resellers are already selling them for $11k.
There was never really a $5k KA3 guys, this is bitmain BS.
Iâve seen resellers offering it for 5800$ which is not too bad⌠but still too much to make money on it
