MAT Taking Pre-Orders on Scrypt ASICs
MAT Bitcoin ASIC 6TH/s. Netherlands based company Mining Asics Technologies B. V. (MAT) today announced it would start taking pre-orders for a new range of Scrypt ASIC miners. MAT is one of the first companies to introduce a wave of powerful new Bitcoin Asic miners and Scrypt ASIC miners for Dogecoin, Auroracoin, Feathercoin, Litecoin and other scrypt cryptocurrencies. Pre-orders are open from 12 March 2014. Standalone Scrypt ASICs. All of MAT's ASICs are standalone embedded application devices featuring a Linux operating system running CGminer. The devices can be configured via webGUI....

On 4/10/14, Mining ASICs Technologies B. V. (MAT) announced that they had Data Center grade machines available for pre-order NOW. Mining ASICs Technologies believes that ASIC mining is entering a new stage, a stage dominated by data centers. KnCMiner, MAT's European competitor, also feels the same way and is building its very own data center to host unsold miners. Mining ASICs Technologies will offer data center grade machines with better cooling and power consumption figures in order to compete. Large scale orders of 1 or more GH/s worth of Scrypt ASICs (two orders of EXCALIBUR 5,....
With the scrypt mining world dominated by GPUs (Graphic Processing Units), a surprising but long-awaited addition is coming - ASICs. ASICs, application-specific integrated circuits, are much more efficient in mining currencies, being much smaller, running at lower temperatures, and requiring less electricity for much higher hash rates. But how viable are would scrypt ASICs be, and just which companies would you trust with your money in pre-orders? Many people might recall the way Butterfly Labs handled shipments, causing mighty long delays, affecting a miner's profit as the difficulty only....
Innosilicon A2 Terminator Scrypt ASIC. On 4/20/14, Innosilicon announced sales of their A2 Terminator Scrypt ASIC on Bitcointalk and their website. Innosilicon is not a newcomer to the ASIC mining realm, by any means. They have previously completed the design and fabrication, through Global Foundries, of an A1 CoinCraft SHA-256 ASIC chip that was used in many cheap, ready-to-ship miners out of China in recent months. From their A1 chips revenue, Innosilicon was able to manufacture these A2 Terminator Scrypt ASIC chips without crowdfunding through preorders, as many competitors have.....
3 weeks ago, I posted Mining ASICs Technologies' announcement of 6TH/s Bitcoin ASICs and 200 MH/s Scrypt ASICs to all of y'all, my disbelieving readers. Over the course of ASIC development in the Bitcoin mining and Scrypt mining spheres, many people have been burned. The number of vaporware firms and scams run on our forums has brought about ennui in the general populace. In the Crypto world, when we are faced with pre-orders, we now tend to follow this guideline: "Guilty until proven innocent." Even though we balk at the presence of such a mentality in the government and mainstream media,....
We all know that Scrypt ASICS are now available for purchase, and miners have been hashing away at Scrypt coins, leaving GPU miners to scramble to under algorithms, most popular being Scrypt-n and x-11. Scrypt ASICS may have also had a negative effect on prices, for Darkcoin and Vertcoin. Darkcoin is the most popular X11 coin, and Vertcoin is the most popular Scrypt-n coin, so it’s logical to assume that is where most GPU miners flocked to. For example, take a look at what happened to Darkcoin. At a current market weighted average of 0.0098 BTC, this is the lowest it has been in 2 months,....
