Hello all, I received a message in the whatsapp group that shows a new asic miner for ethereum that outputs 1.6GB and take 1200W.. So I went to the website and I started to suspect that there was no demonstration of the machine at work and that the image looked like another product on the market and last they only get a crypto...  The website is: ethmine dot ws I'd love to hear the opinion of others on the subject before I might be stung. Thanks |

to date there is no asic for ethereum. and most likely will never be with an ever-increasing DAG file and pos on the horizon.
There are many scammers out there promoting[ websites that are fake or scams

That is incorrect. Bitmain has been giving information that they have made one, and are working on it. Ethereum is supposed to be ASIC resistant, so an algo change to disable ASICs is supposed to occur but looks like they dont really care if the ASICs come in. |

The miner you linked to us is an absolutely blatant scam. There's news about the F3 existing and some proof of it, but ethmine.ws is just a paste of Bitmain's miner description. Take a look at Warranty for starters, then take a look at any Bitmain listing's Warranty section- the T9+ for example. https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020180302142134304q3O9kyoG06ACThe site just changed the words Bitmain to Ethmine and the miner name for their entire Notes and Warranty. If that weren't enough, there's a tweet at the News widget at the bottom that's just a bunch of spam. Remember, if it's too good to be true, it most likely is. |

If you are waiting for Bitmain to make the announcement then you will hear about it when it is listed for sale. Its basic knowledge that something is being created and done, and even when there are more than 1 website stating specifics into the machine, and even sources that prove that they have been working on it. If you were to read more into it, you can see there is proof that they have been acquiring the RAM required, and producing an ASIC for ethereum. Bitmain does not announce anything until they are up for sale, because they dont want the public to know they have already been using it for months and selling off cleaned up units as brand new. |

No asic for ETH as far as o know. The bitmain news is most likely a false rumor as I dont think that bitmain will be betting their investment money on ETH miner as the plan to move to PoS is on the cards. Ensure you don’t fall for any scams.

Geez. I wonder what the fallout would look like for gpu mining if bitmain did in fact release a cryptonote asic.

ETH is switching to POS and there would be no reason for an ASIC miner to be made for an algorithm that is only temporary. |

The answer is no (too memory prohibitive to be feasible) and this is a scam, watch out.

It could be microcomputer with integrated video chips but it parameters will be worse. |
