ASICminer secretly launching Equihash 40,000 Sol/s miner.

[kahc]

So no announcement or anything from them, just randomly popped up in their shop.
The inevitable is happening.
I assume Halong and Innosilicon will follow and announce their Equihash miners soon.

Great for ZEC. Congratulations

now who bought the Antminer Z9 will really cry . Huge hashrate like this is catastrophic

[deskless]

I think we will see hashrate climb worse than Dash.

ROI is better with Z9

[Kahooli]

or four Z9s. etc

They do add a neat water cooling system and low noise cooling. So at least there is some value. But not at 2x the price per sol

Why a Z9 buyer would cry? Z9 is $1999 - up to 50% off with coupon, hashes at 10K sols at 300 watts. I could buy 7.4 Z9s without using any coupon for the price of 1 ASICminer and get 74K sols at 2220 watts.

I think at the end buyers of both will cry.

It's very funny when someone lauch an Asic, a lot of another pop out

Every asic maker mine a lot with asics, and then they decided to sell to idiots at the same time

Lol, that might be the case. But if Bitmain releases Z9 on time, a buyer could mine enough ZEC before the fork to recoup their investment since with coupon a Z9 costs less than 2 1080 Ti. Per Zcash foundation, a fork if they feel is required wouldn't be implemented until the end of the year.

May be the people who got in first cpl of weeks will get ROI. I think ZEC will get their act together and fork much sooner than end of year. I think GPU miners will win either way

its like a game of chicken, they all want to mine in secret as long as possible but as soon as one releases they all start dumping

unfortunately I think now that there are multiple equihash asics available they will use this as the excuse not to fork off asics. they'll say its no longer a centralization threat since its not just 1 manufacturer

A valid point indeed. Oh well. At the end probably only BTC ETH matters anyway if at all. Let these coins go get flushed.

its a scam. i have never heard of a customer who received hardware from them. they also have a 48TH/s bitcoin miner for 4k USD..sure sure....
they just have nice pictures but no product

[N2DCRYPT]

Said it before, will say it again. If ZEC gets ASIC'd w/o resistance, I see zero value proposition from this project.

Given the wishy-washiness of Count Zooko and Co, I doubt any timely ASIC resistance. May dump my ZEC and load up on DASH. Once ASIC'd, ZEC doesn't bring anything to the table that DASH isn't already providing.

^^This.

Has anyone ever heard of this company before?  Or better yet, does anyone know anyone who successfully ordered and received anything from them?

I found one related post from March, but most people seem to say this company is, "Toxic".

Honestly, no effing idea

[cod3gen]

I doubt that this company(or shall we just say website?) is legitimate. Look at their other products, and especially the efficiency of SHA-256 nano miner, twice as efficient as Bitmain`s S9....
