No Bitmain is definitely not mining Ethereum. if they had developed an ASIC then it would be already on sale right now.

I believe that they have tested it for long time.

Thanks for the lols Smiley



I guess he's new and doesn't know that Bitmain is "testing" miners for months before they sell them Smiley

I meant that if miners existed then they would have created it long ago so they can mine it themselves before releasing it to public. So by now they should have released it (after mining the hell out of em) due to possibility of eth going pos and this is what has happened they are on sale right now within 24 hrs after my comment. I meant if an asic existed then it should be on sale right now not later.
Some were speculating that Bitmain is researching into it and might release it in december 18' my comment was for them.

Very simply, yes, they would if there was profit to be made. BM definitely 'run in' units before selling them, so anybody's guess how many units they have already live, but they'll add to that number as the weeks go by.

I do believe Bitmain is mining ETH with asics. Why wouldn't they? They probably have tons of miners that they won't sell due to minor cosmetic imperfections, but they'll still run perfectly. No sense throwing them out.

I think they have tested theirs in the last 6 months. It is quite long.

Fork is coming ...

Has this been confirmed? For now I only know about a poll.

My information may be outdated but at least as far as I know the ASICs for Ethash won't be incredibly strong like other ASICs for other algorightms.
One device will reach about 180 MH/s at 800W power consumption at a price of $800 per unit.

The e3 is an old eth asic, need to watch for the f3 which is 10 times more powerful, around 1500mhs.

Well, the E3 hasn't been shipped yet so I guess it can't be very old.
About the F3 I couldn't find anything except rumours and tons of different hashrates - is there any official statement about the estimated hasrate and the price?

Secret asics are only known to people who work inside bitmain's warehouse, not even bitmain's partners know about them, they are very secret. That f3 was a leak and probably the person who leaked is dead hehe
