In December, Micree Zhan Ketuan, the ousted co-founder of the world's largest producer of Bitcoin mining equipment, Bitmain, reportedly asked a Cayman Islands court to reverse a shareholder decision that cost him voting control of the crypto-miner. Shareholders voted then to convert Bitmain’s Class B shares to one vote per share, versus 10 votes previously — effectively slashing Zhan’s influence, Bloomberg reported, citing documents presented to the court. Zhan wrote in a letter published Novem...

FPGA mining is undergoing a new rise due to the ASIC miners’ struggle with token developers. Let’s check out the characteristics and types of one of these models - Blackminer F1 Mini. Now the production of machinery for mining tokens is a rapidly developing industry that has survived several development stages in a comparatively short time. One important step was to use FPGA to build hardware equipment. The first models were intended for BTC mining and existed for little time, and then ASIC mine...

Reasons for a headache in miners are getting common. Not only that, the rate of major cryptocurrencies is far from ideal, so even dust leads to the fact that the equipment barely has time to serve the warranty period and soon breaks down. Moreover, this entails costs, reconfiguration, downtime, and loss of returns. Haven’t developers yet invented a solution that will help us to get rid of the main complications of mining devices? The popularity of blockchain projects has led to the emergence of...

The equipment power aimed at mining BTC has hit additional new peak, reporting that over 600,000 high-end new devices may possibly have appeared online during the last 3 months. Consistent with figures from the BTC.com crypto extraction pool, during the last two-weeks BTC’s average hash rate has crossed one more major threshold, by reaching 85 exahashes per second (EH/s) last Friday. For now, mining complexity is also set to a new record of approximately 12 trillion. Since mid-June, the complex...

Individuals were disappointed by the production of cryptocurrencies, and big businesses – were not. The demand for devices for mining digital money is reduced, its rate, too, it follows from these ads on sites. For typical users, the procedure has become unbeneficial, yet big business carries on mining. The average cost of video cards for coin extraction in the first half of 2019, (production of tokens) amounted to 23.4 thousand RUB, which is 62.4% lesser than last year, a representative of Avi...

The digital currency market is gradually coming to life. The leading token Bitcoin has increased in price by 20% and this does not seem to be the limit. At the same time, machinery from retailers is sold with a price reduction and this is an ideal time to start mining. There is some good news for those who are now using ASICs with video cards— their equipment can be given a "second life" via extending life in a dust-free setting and overclocking. What miner model is appropriate for mining? The...

This trend has not spared the crypto industry. However, Antminer s 9 with 16-nanometer chips has been in the leaders of bitcoin mining devices for about two years, but two new models made on a more energy-efficient standard have already been created. Bitmain Antminer 28th and 23rd T15 are equipped with a 7-nanometer, can work in high-performance and eco mode. Antminer T15 and S15 features in bitcoin mining The device is not similar in appearance and settings to other miners, the company Bitman....

Innosilicon was primarily involved in the production of components for electronic tools. However, the enthusiasm triggered by the emergence of ASICS in the digital market provoked the company's management to switch to the production of a novel category of miners and it was the correct choice. As a result, Innosilicon has taken a top position among the equipment, which produces virtual assets. The unimaginable pace of growth of the corporation has been repetitively noted by analytical organizati...
