So I recently came across a market analysis of ASIC miner manufacturers and was shocked at the fact that Ebang is number 4 on the list with high single digits market share. Why was I shocked? Because I barely hear a thing about their miners. I barely come across posts regarding custom firmware, etc. This particularly stood out to me as I own a few of their miners and have always struggled to find good information regarding them or even custom firmware, etc.

I know that S9s pretty much take up most of the limelight but if we go by the numbers, there is one Ebang miner for every 7-10 Antminers. However, there is probably one Ebang post for every 70-100 Antminer posts. I'm just curious, as pretty much a newb, is this simply because Ebang miners are considered cheap/shitty/not worth the try or is it because it's mostly large farms buying their miners in bulk and pretty much running their own show in the shadows (relative to us)?

Back of the envelope math means there have to be hundreds of thousands of these deployed and that somewhat doesn't jive with the level of attention they get publicly. I just wanted to hear what you guys think about this and any explanations.

Thanks!
