[2018-02-12]Bitmain To Release Ethereum ASIC Miner F3 With 72Gb DDR3 Dram In Q2

[Dlikrot]

So Bitmain has actually confirmed that it’s true? I wouldn’t mind it... asics are in general less space consuming and have easy setups..

[Vann]

7 heavily undervolted RX 570 consume about 750W from the wall while solo mining. There's nothing special in this.

hmm ok, carry on then. But still, those numbers beat what antmain is claiming about their asic, which is 200-220mhs @ $2500

when I inquire the company about availability, they said the demand is too big for them to handle atm and the wait will be "very long"

Bitmain hasen't claimed anything. It's a rumor posted on a Chinese website and the article didn't mention anything about hash rate.

[junkstory]

ok i'll shut up now

[Iamtutut]

Guess this is what he's talking about. LOL

The Geass P1-200 Ethereum miner is the first Ether miner in the world. The hash speed (Ethash) is 198MH/s ± 5% with a power consumption about 730w. With this 198MH Ethereum miner, your Ether mining career will be speeded up.

Hopefully this will reduce GPU prices back to normal and we can build a GPU rig for 2k again... This is a welcome for us, because with those hash rates Asic miners is not too competitive and GPU has more value when reselling and warranty lasts 2-3 years, while Asic miners have only 6 months usually...

I would personally never buy anything from a website that ends in ".xyz". Just my 2 cents.

do not hope about price falling if gpu still profitable. And releasing new ampere dont change the situation

[shibob]

At first as I saw the title of ETH Asic miner, I think RIP my rigs, but as I saw the price, it's hurt not much the current GPU's rig, actually its price is a bit cheaper than 6 x RX580 rig.

[Gaglam]

Cant you mine any ethhash coin with this asic?

[OgNasty]

How will the movement towards Casper effect this miner?

Potentially!

198mh/s @760w?

That is better than most gpu hash/w rates.

Im assuming BITMAIN is gonna trounce all over this.

[vonRau]

usually GB ist Gigabyte
and Gbit is Gigabit

So finally your calculation should be wrong

Eastshore has been and is a reputable reseller of miners and I've ordered gear from them and received it I timely fashion. Plenty of other forum members have also bought from them, and besides their products being sold higher than direct (they have to make a profit too) there's absolutely nothing wrong with them.

[Ursul0]

so what's the conclusion? what bct collective wisdom produced?
is there an actual dagger-hashimoto asic coming?

[oportunis]

If you ask me this is good for the ETH miners, because the price is not competitive at the moment, but I hope that some of the miners will switch from GPU rigs to asic and with that we could get a price reduction on GPU's, because the prices now are too expensive...

[dragonmike]

From the info I've seen so far I draw three conclusions:
1) it's just a rumour and is more likely bs
2) any "asic" would hardly be any better than an efficient gpu setup
3) impact would be minimal

Nothing to see here, move along.

ETH will be great again, a coin for long term holding.

[stash2coin]

ETH will be great again, a coin for long term holding.

Yeah the ASICs will drive the price crazy high. Just HOLD ethereum

Let's hope they don't Sell too many.. And make it non profitable.
