Other insights from the report show that China accounts for 73% of ASIC manufacturing worldwide, and alongside this, the future of the cloud mining market “is outside of China.” By conducting several interviews and market surveys, the firm believes that it’s able to predict the market share of the top five ASIC manufacturers. Tokeninsight thinks Bitmain will capture 63% of 2020’s market share followed by Microbt (10%), Canaan (18%), Ebang (7%), and others (2%). “The distribution of SHA-256 ASIC mining hardware manufacturers is concentrated, and the top four manufacturers in 2019 accounted for more than 95% of the total market,” the report asserts.
What am I missing here?
No matter how I twist those percentages I can't get 27% for outside of China?
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)?
Something like that!
The norm is 20 posts if you have a miner, about 5 if you own 100 and zero if you have a thousand.
