After Canaan announced it would launch a TV that actually mines Bitcoin, Bitmain could not stay behind.... They just announced a Router that would mine Bitcoin lol!

It's not the first time for "Bitmain", to introduce such thing:
- BITMAIN AntRouter R1: 1st wireless networking device with bitcoin mining chip

That's a  funny way to stay relevant by just rehashing an old idea.

What I find funnier is that Canaan(correct spelling) isn't releasing this as a profitable mining option. It's more of a novelty item that gets their name out there in a more mainstream product offering. I'm still pretty interested in seeing it, don't know that I'd shell out for one.
