Title: Bitmain Antminer R4?
Post by: heslo on August 26, 2016, 08:33:00 AM
Just came across this... https://bitcoinnewsmagazine.com/bitmain-antminer-r4-home-bitcoin-miner/

Definitely something I'd be interested in if legit... lower powered, low noise and something I can have it my house without being too uncomfortable. Anyone else know anything more?

Looks decent, 8.6 Th @ 845W power draw, however, the link given in the article gives a "product does not exist" error when i tried to follow it

Not sure if it's legit (yet).

IF it's legit, it draws ~100W per Th, that's about the same as the S9, the price is even a little bit lower per Th (but the difference is neglectible).
All in all, seems like a good deal for both the home and professional miner, IF it ever hits the shelves ;)
