BIT MAIN Make the Antminers (S7, S7LN, and S9)
MINERSLAB
BH Miner
DRAGON MINER
Gridseed Out of business, I believe
AVALON Make the A6, but nothing recently except rumors
BIT FURY Missing in action unless you have Panamax sized boats of money, maybe
Butterfly Labs Out of business, I believe
BLACK ARROW Out of business, I believe
SPONDOOLIES Out of business, I believe
ZEUS MINER

I am 90% sure that the 50TH Smart Miner 3.0 (used) is a complete fraud. The specs for it are wildly optimistic, and completely unsupported by any other reports.

If it was real, it would absolutely crush the S9 in terms of cost per TH, as well as efficiency.

Have we seen this scam before?

I only have been mining for a little over a year but I have never heard of such product.

The best miners atm for most people are the S9 and the variants of S7. Avalon 6's are still viable for people with low electricity costs, but they aren't nearly as good as S7s imo.

Dragon made some old miners, to give you an idea, a large desktop sized miner running with coincrafts at 1 TH/s at 1kW. They also made some stick miners running Zeus chips, Scrypt. I have a few and they run well, you can still buy them off eBay and Aliexpress, but their efficiency sucks.

Gridseed made some Scrypt miners, their orbs were pretty efficient, but the blades not so much. They were expected to make a dual SHA256 and Scrypt blade-style miner, but it never came out.

Rockminer made a small orb-sized SHA256 miner, as well as the more well-known rocket box and the r-boxes.

Zeus made some Scrypt miners that ran pretty well, until the newest generation miners came out.

The SMART miner was probably a scam. There were never any reviews at all for that product, and so I'd be inclined to think I was a scam. It's possible it's legit, but the chances are slim to none.

Yes miner was a pretty clear scam from the beginning; somehow some people bought it and were/are requesting refunds. The last time I checked the yes miner thread was about 2-3 months ago, so I'm not quite sure.

When bitfury chips are released, I think they will be the best mining hardware.
For now, it is the antminer S9 (though BitMain are always great at lowering the number of chips and therefore te efficiency the higher the batch number of the miner)!
The TH/s for batch 1 was 14TH/s, it is now lower than 12TH/s!

As far as I know though, you can still connect four miners to the same control computer so that's quite a good thing (and you can get replacement boards from bitmaintech).
