I sure hope NODEhaven doesn't turn out to be a scam, because I'm working with them on design. For the record, I specified compensation in the form of chips once they're available, so they better pull it off.

But I don't know anything about BITTECH.

Only the T2 Turbo is currently available (in theory - I don't think anybody got it yet) and it's less efficient than the Bittech thing.

The noise level is unrealistic for a 2.2 kW miner in that form factor.

They are also running an ICO, which makes the whole scheme super shady.

i already got it.

and yes you are right, asic manufacturer + ICO = 200% scam xD

same shit as nodehaven.com/ (met them at berlin blockshow 2018)

People have posted photos of receiving T2 Turbo already, so it is currently shipping.

I agree this does look a little shady, but they do show a physical model running on Slush and have been available since May, but perhaps using them to privately mine. Regarding the One and Mini using different chips, the mini is actually a mini for their next model called the One S, which will use the same 10nm chips and supposedly be 36 TH/s @ 2600-2800 watts. Prototype not expected until Q4.

Looks like they have a drawing and dreams.

Taking money now for their first product ever, the term *investomers comes to mind. Different approach to not make people wait 6-12 months to find out it's a fraud. It seems like the dumbest time ever to create a scam based on hardware with there being an ample supply everywhere, but who said scammers were smart. They are also launching a "service contract" that sounds a lot like cloud mining.

I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions even Halong delivered, but until they have a working unit verified by someone trustworthy on the forum it remains vaporware.

The weirdest point for me is that they have 14nm chips for the "one", and 10nm for the "one mini". Why not rename the second Miner seeing as it is a new design, not really a mini.

Only the T2 Turbo is currently available (in theory - I don't think anybody got it yet) and it's less efficient than the Bittech thing.

On these chip sizes I'm pretty sure you are correct about them claiming to be the most efficient miner.

* First heard from FH, and loved the term ever since.

Prices and specs are similar to T2 Turbo and M10. Not more efficient than M10 or A9 if their specs are legit.

A9 is around 57 W/TH (30TH/s @ 1720W) - Price and shipping unknown
M10 is around 65 W/TH (33TH/s @ 2145W) - $1888 for 9/20 pre-order
T2 Turbo is around 83 W/TH (24TH/s @ 1980W) - $1350 and shipping now

Supposedly began construction for 9k units in Russian data center in April 2018. I do remember seeing some Russian miners that looked similar in design that were being called a Bitfury/Facemen B8 with similar 60db noise levels, but don't know if they were legit either. They list the B8 in their whitepaper with S9 and 841 comparisons, so maybe it was only sold there. I'm still skeptical.

A brand new "manufacturer" selling hardware that is more efficient than anything else currently available at prices too good to be true... caveat emptor.

Saw a bunch of paid PR on this recently and not sure if it's legit, but seems to be since they aren't just 3D renderings and supposedly shipping September 15. Also not sure if these are the same guys that started scamming everyone years back, but site says they were founded in 2017, so may be a different company with same name.

https://bittech.cn.com/

Two different models:

BITTECH One - $1470
28 TH/s @ 2200W



BITTECH One Mini - $880
16 TH/s @ 1150W

Noise level of both is supposedly < 60db.

Found this older video, which makes it seem like they were initially only going to sell under service contracts, but appear to be selling direct now while also still having contracts if you want them to host:
