Today, Bitmain, the Beijing-based Bitcoin mining giant, is releasing its new S9 ASIC miner. It is the first commercially available mining unit to use a cluster of 189 16nm ASICs and deliver a mining power of 14TH/s per single unit. The S9 compares favorably to both Bitmain’s earlier models of miners and products of other companies. With an advertised hashrate of 14TH/s at a 1.38kW energy consumption, it offers an almost threefold increase in productivity at a similar rate of expenditure, when compared to the company’s last model, S7. In its official announcement, Bitmain claims to have....
Beijing based Bitmain Technologies Limited, owner of Antminer series of Bitcoin miners, Hashnest, Antpool and BTC.com will next week launch what it claims to be the world’s most silent multi-terahash Bitcoin miner, and a silent 2600W PSU specially designed for high performance mining. This model is called the ‘Antminer R4’. Basic description. Antminer R4 is said to use the very power efficient 16nm BM1387 ASIC chip for Bitcoin mining and can deliver a hashrate of 8.6TH/s with a power efficiency of 0.1J/GH and a noise level less than 50dB. Bitmain also claims that at an ambient temperature....

After almost two years of debate and seemingly nothing left to be said on the topic of bitcoin scalability, miners continue to not make a concrete decision with transaction backlogs now becoming common. BW.com, a mining pool with around 7% of the network’s hashrate, signals for 8MB blocks, but has never mined with any client which increases maxblocksize. Bitmain’s co-founder, Micree Zhan, stated in a recent interview that he prefers Bitcoin Unlimited. Jihan Wu, the other co-founder of Bitmain, has vocally asked for a maxblocksize increase. Yet, despite the pool controlling around 18% of....
The launch of Antminer S7, the next generation bitcoin miner, was just announced by bitcoin mining ASIC provider Bitmain. According to the company, "this machine is not only our most efficient ever, using less than half the energy per gigahash of the S5, but it is also our most powerful miner to enter mass production." Compared to the previous model, the Antminer S7 bitcoin miner is a denser mining rig. The S5 used 60 chips per miner while the Antminer S7 uses 162 of the BM1385 chips. Next Generation Bitcoin Miner. "It's true that the S5+ had a greater overall hashrate, but the S7 squeezes....
