Hello friends today I will give you information about ASIC minerals produced by "obelisk" company. The first company that comes to mind when you know the ASIC miner is Bitmain, but the recent output of crypto money has led many companies to make ASIC chip production for production. This, of course, also means device sales for the ASIC manufacturer.
"Batch 1" means that the first batch is pre-ordered (pre-ordered) by obelisk to customers, but no further shipment has taken place. Along with unquestionable information, I think the shipment is at a very early date.
If we come to device specifications, devices manufactured using 28nm ASIC chip will have a power of 1.5 Th / s for Decred and 0.8 ton / s for Siocoin. Up to now, the first party has sold 1500 units for 1000 units for Decred, which means that a great deal of difficulty can be experienced for Batch 2 buyers and efficiency may decrease. It consumes around 500W of energy. It's not very loud (according to Antminer). It's a bit heavy at 20 pounds. The Power Supply is integrated with the power supply.
ASIC chips are generally preferred technology for algorithms that support ASIC chips because they are made cheaply (they need to be technologically advanced) and even because they are made even cheaper than FPGAs and because they are more energy efficient. So until better found, I think mining equipment for coins with all ASIC technology supporting algorithms will continue to be produced with these ASIC chips. ASIC chips are the worst, that is to say an excelent increase. In other words, these chips, which are very efficient in every respect, actually consume the source very fast. Algorithms such as SHA-256, Scrypt, and X11 support ASIC chips and the new blake algorithm supports this. But algorithms such as ETHASH and EQUIHASH (Dagger Hashimoto) -based algorithms only support GPU technology. So we can not use ASIC devices when digging Ethereum, Monero, Zcash. Already in ASIC devices we can not use each algorithm in a separate characteristic for each algorithm is produced ASIC chip.
Our team is not very well known to these friends, but they deserve to be congratulated for being in such an initiative. We can get rid of the desperate work and get rid of the Bitmain one-handedness. The new ASICs are derived from companies that produce minerals. But you are questioning which one is safe or which one is a real company. Because there are so many fraudulent companies in this market, these companies are continuing to work in Bitmain, which is already trusted by everyone until they provide their trust. The Obelisk firm has not gained any confidence yet if I need to look at it from my own perspective. Whenever we start to advertise people who are mining with their equipment, we can rely on it, but because there are many mining equipment manufacturers on the market, we trust people to trust whether they trust.
As mining equipment produced with ASIC chips increase mining difficulties in the advanced stages, the efficiency of the devices is very low during the period of operation. Now 14ths Antminer S9 devices may not even be able to pay even the electricity fee in January 2019. Some of the new devices supported by the SHA-256 algorithm have a 16ths and 18ths hash rate.
