The leading manufacturer of equipment for mining cryptocurrencies Bitmain company presented the device Antminer Z9 mini for mining cryptocurrencies on the algorithm Equihash.
The tweet also says that each customer will be able to purchase no more than one device. The company believes that this approach will sell devices to a large number of miners around the world.
The company's website indicates that the start of deliveries of the new device is expected in the last decade of June. The hashrate of the device is 10K Sol / s at a power consumption of only 300W. The price of Antminer Z9 listed on the Bitmain Website is 1999 USD
The release of the new device somewhat upset the founder and CEO of Zcash Zuko Wilcox, who wrote the following:
"This is absolutely not what I wanted to do, because: a) I always thought it was most likely impossible in the long term; b) I always thought there was a compromise between the wide spread of coins on the one hand, and miners with high returns on invested funds — on the other»
In his opinion, this" compromise " was supposed to counter centralization, as well as contribute to the sustainable and stable operation of the network.
We will remind, at the beginning of last month Bitmain announced the start of sales of ASIC-miner for Ethereum called Antminer E3.
Fucking Bitmain
