With this release, it looks like Bitmain becomes the solo monopoly or was it already?
For home/small miner market - pretty much yes. Spondoolies - with all due respect - aren't selling anything, BitFury deals in the PH/s range, and others don't seem to have anything to compete even with the S5, not to mention this new thing. |

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

This is just what we hear in public. I'm aware of a scrypt miner being produced in a joint venture by som large farms that is finished making the chips but at the stage of producing the miner now. This miner is 125Mhash with 500 Watt power use. So my believe is that other firms besides Bitmain do already have and mine with 0,216 or even lower, but Bitmain is the only one making the public business.

Time to save coin, and PACMiC v2 will have expired and paid back just in time for some more coin to purchase S7's!
You see what they're doing there? We mine / make coin, buy on Hashnest, use profits to buy more hardware to mine / make coin, and repeat! LOL

Watch out nothing is easy free money forever, I would keep my wits about me and make sure to not get too attached to PACMiC. You're right about that. By the time these miners come out it may be time to rethink entering another version of PACMiC. But, with that being said this announcement is still great news! |

As a satisfied Bitmain customer, i only have one request for you Bitmain: Make the S7 heatsink backwards compatible with the S5 and S3.So in the tropic one can still use the same liquid cooling block i'm designing  kthxbai |

Nicely done Bitmain. Good news on the new release and the hash power to electricity usage is superb. Keep up the good work, excited to see the final miner that uses these.

Congrats! Since your staying on the 28nm process can we expect reasonable prices?
Hope your close to delivery, the end of this year could be a battleground again with actual products.

BITMAIN launches the 4th generation bitcoin mining ASIC: BM1385
32.5GH/s per chip, 0.216W/GH/s with 0.66V core voltage Chip & Miner Power Efficiency Comparison | BM1380 | BM1382 | BM1384 | BM1385 | | Produced in | Q4 2013 | Q2 2014 | Q4 2014 | Q3 2015 | | Primary model used in | AntMiner S1 | AntMiner S3+ | AntMiner S5 | AntMiner S7 | | At the wall power consumption | 2000W/TH | 800W/TH | 510W/TH | 230W/TH |
Antminer S3++
Antminer S4
Antminer S4+
Antminer S5+Could also come S7+ or S7++ ? you forget that every single model that has came out has had a chart that showed much better j/ghs rate then the machine has actually produced.. hopefully 230w/th doesnt end up 400w/th  as far as I remember the power consumption was exactly as stated here 2W/Th for S1, 0.8 for S3 and 0.51 for S5. You are probably referring to the theoretical curve using 9V that they showed for S5, but they abandoned it later on and S5 does indeed consume 0.51W/Th. |

Time to start saving coin
I like this reply best. I am glad that: a) I did not crack and buy the s-5++ b) I grabbed some coin when prices dropped yesterday. I also did not buy S5+ as there was no immediate appeal, but I will not buy any more coins until it is the time to pay up-who knows what other ridiculousness might still come out of the current debacle. |

I am waiting now for the test S7 unit to prove anyone that it's real and it's excellent.  |

Not trash they will just go to a place with lower electricity prices. It's hard to say when it will happen. Guess we will see once a product hits the market with chips. |
