Bitmain has released two GPU miner models: G1 and G2

[shibob]

I still could not figure out why Bitmain G2 uses more expensive CPU, RAM and SSD than G1's.

Even though I have no clue about GPU rigs, I would say they go with the normal principle of "Someone always wants to pay premium and buy the most expensive"

Looks like now the both GPU miner models are available via Eastshore for international sales also.

No idea if it’ll support your G2 or not but you could try nvOC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.4100

I think it is a bit better to build your own, more fun to.

I agree. I'm making my own now. Not only it's more fun but if you take some time finding some good deals locally, you can build a 220MH/s it at less than half Bitmain's price. Especially in Europe that that 3k usd translates to 4k euro after import.

And there is the resale value people have mentioned. A custom made rig can break and sell the part individually at some times above cost. Who is gonna buy Bitmain's custon 570s?

[BenRickert]

Well....what a surprise.....another large corporation that is trying to crush any opportunity for regular civilians to make a business or money on their own. A large corporation that has more money than they could ever spend. This time hopefully they stepped in it. The Bitmain ASIC's business model, does not appear to carry over well to the GPU market. It is inherently grass roots and homegrown. I hope like Hell it can stay that way.

[Haruderty]

Gpu is also in?

They are nVidia 1060 and AMD 570.

[BitcoinSapphire]

Basically this Bitmain GPU Miner is for the lazy.

Next they'll be bringing out their own Bitmain Blockchain and Exchange.

hm 3k for a 200 MH GPU miner you can build your self for less.... they pay it .. sadly ..... or a fool and his money .....

I agree that's what it is and i do hope this time bit main has there ass handed to them for being greedy ...

I hope it stays that way  to:  the GPU market. is inherently grass roots and homegrown. I hope like Hell it can stay that way.

speaking of grass root nm i won't go there .....

LOL. I get it.  GPU mining seems like the only thing left in Crypto that adheres to the original ethos of how this was intended. Hell with all this corporate rape.

Any thoughts about these GPU card miners?

I was pretty surprised to suddenly find these.

I prefer to build my own and these depend on price if thye are cheap from China they will sell
and they only seem available for the Chinise so I dont no why they are debatable

[leowonderful]

Wonder if anyone has actually bought any of these. Considering the entire miner is pretty much fully custom it'd be hard to resell its parts and it's cheaper to just build it yourself. Besides that you will also need to pay for shipping from China and customs, and Bitmain also has a horrible record as of now.

[HagssFIN]

I noticed this review few days ago.

Antminer G2 GPU Mining Rig Review: Let’s Mine Some Altcoins
https://www.bitsonline.com/antminer-g2-gpu-mining-rig-review/

Looks pretty nicely built to me.

[fanatic26]

my advice not to buy these g1 nor g2 waste of money and time

So you dont know what you are doing and that is bitmains fault? God its disgusting how everyone uses bitmain as the scapegoat for everything. How dare they become a successful company when others have failed? I mean they should just close up shop right?

[Dlikrot]

Interesting products, but I was hoping for new asic miners with some exotic algos Maybe soon....

[jeswin]

Price is too hugh

[comby]

Does anyone know the hashrate for these G2?

Bitmain is going to release them soon again (to buy), wondering if its worth.

[big al]

G2 is 220

It is listed on their Chinese site but not available, conversion is about $4300 USD.
