Not quite. These are not Samsung's chips. They are fabricated by Samsung, but Samsung does not own the design or the rights to sell them on the open market. Its the same as say how Foxconn manufacturers the iPhone for Apple, does not mean that Foxconn can then turn around and start selling the phone to anybody else that wants to slap their logo on it. There was a press release a bit over a month ago from a company called Ebang that claimed to be preparing to release a miner and that Samsung was fabricating the chips for them. However, in that press release I believe they claimed it was going to be 10nm chips, the press release from Samsung claims the chip is 12 or 14nm though I believe. The press release from Ebang was originally in a Chinese language though and the Samsung one was in Korean... so something could have been lost in translation. Its by no means whatever company just slapping a metal casing on something... what Samsung has done here is just fabricated the chip according to somebody else's design and all the R&D effort they had to put into it. There is additional work of still needing to design the software to interface with the chips, pcb designs, etc.

If it is Samsung that will be supporting bitcoin by any means, that would be awesomely great! But, if they (Samsung) just announced that having a hardware for bitcoin users doesn't actually count as that ''support'' kind of thing that we've been looking for. Somehow they could promote bitcoin thru their trading applications or recommendations by merely putting stuffs like that on their phone. Also, it would be a great help if they will have a payment option thru bitcoin (hehehe).

Dont you said its fake news? It might be yes. This news can lead the price of bitcoin goes to the moon. I hope its true but if not then at least we got the effect of the news. No matter fake or real news, it can lead the price movement.

That is correct, as all successful industrial companies their purpose is to make profit, they construct what people need. The commercial responsible at Samsung know that there is a big demand on mining hardware and producing it will be a lucrative. But we can't deny the fact that such news will boost Bitcoin.

I think they just produced the said model of the phone because as we all know bitcoin is shadowing other products, and a phone to support the use of bitcoin with a bitcoin app on it seems like a rather intuitive idea as some people would think they are in favor and is supporting bitcoin but in truth they are just doing so because they wanted to alleviate the market damage bitcoin had caused them. But anyways I am not disagreeing with Samsung launching a phone to support bitcoin as it would mean a more convenient environment for us bitcoin users and enthusiasts.

Yes, bitcoin has developed very well in Korea. Many south Korean companies recognize bitcoin. It is hoped that more countries will recognize the legitimacy of bitcoin, which will help the development of bitcoin.

Today I heard that Samsung is going to make bitcoin mining hardware especially Antminer S9 which I heard that they will name it as 'Samsung S9', with this act by Samsung everyone can understand that Samsung is in the favor of bitcoin and they will strongly support bitcoin. Almost all of the Samsung users will then know about this device and so more and more people will then know about bitcoin and the demand and the users of bitcoin will be increased too much.
That is good news for bitcoin. Samsung is the most famous company in South Korea. If samsung supports bitcoin, more people in South Korea will believe in bitcoin, which is great for bitcoin. Samsung has many fans around the world, which will drive the development of bitcoin. It's a great thing.

If this thing is true , it will surely make the market value of Bitcoin to the moon. Samsung is a huge company and if it will support Bitcoin, the demand will surely go skyrocket as well as its market value and might as well consider the recovery of the recent crash. Hopefully this one isbtrue and if it is that so, the increase thatvwe are waiting is about to happen.

I think whether they really are supporting the cryptocurrency industry especially bitcoin itself or not, we can all agree that this scheme Samsung had taken is a win-win situation nonetheless. Samsung would get a lot of customers from the cryptocurrency world while bitcoin users and enthusiasts might consider buying the product because of the availability of a bitcoin supporting application.

Plus the fact that samsung is known worldwide for producing quality products. For sure it will greatly affects its sales considering that there are many bitcoin users in the world. Also bitcoin will likely to become more popular because it is a free advertisement from Samsung.

Maybe they support bitcoin but maybe also no. You may do whats "in" today. For me samsumg only get into race of miner just for money and profit. Business is business. Samsung will not create a huge product like that just to support bitcoin.

This type of news will make two impact from this industry, if they really meant to support btc then it will be good competition having their company to also build the device will make them more popular and it will benefits them as a company, while if this is just another news to hype then it will not create any good impact at all just another speculations that will die after some hype.

I hope other companies like intel and amd would support bitcoins more even if they already did. I think of all the huge tech companies out there, the 2 companies I have mentioned should be making their own cryotocurrency to buy their own products. Who knows, we may have all the tech companies making their own cryotocurrency.
The more the popular the user is, the more people will know bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. With the news that Sasmung is going to support bitcoin is really a great one to see and hear, because we all know that countries are prohibiting it that might the reason of the value going down.
