Just a reminder this isn't meant to be a general discussion/speculation thread to compare all gear or seek advice.

Please move further discussion to a new topic in mining speculation or either miners respective discussion thread.

They are still operating, I am in the middle of a warranty with them which I will post on the B1+ review.

Thanks for letting me know bitfily is still operating, they are still however falling behind like many companies at the moment; with nothing new announced.

Edit: March 29 - Added A10 discussion thread for Canaan

Evil beware: We have waffles!

Be warned that eBit's eBang miners have a horrible reputation for breaking along with horrible customer support. Scan this section and the Support section for the threads discussing them.

Ok. That's less power efficient than a lp firmware a841 or s9. Undecided

yeah..this is how this stuff rolls these days I guess..I can find no 'angle' of any kind, (even w/o the shipping and tariff/import fees of 27.6% that are on now)

discouraging

Just go here:

https://www.bitfily.io/

Not sure what they say but efficiency is like 105 Watts per TH, I will update my review of it if I can find it Wink

Bitfily hasn't updated their site in a long time so I'm not sure of their status at the moment.

In 'reality' in the USA...most of it anyway...will go back to 'Summer Electric Rates) or from what I can tell in most places...that is a 33% increase in electric costs for I think it is 5 months.

Thus sometime around May 15th when this flips.....we probably (or any crypto) needs a 33% price pump or it is gonna get beyond ugly out there.

just pointing this out...you could have "no equipment" on your list that 'makes sense to buy anyway...and this is not talking about the 27.6% fees with tariff and import fees.

sheesh, what a 'rekt' cluster****.

Well at the end of the month I believe I will remove Halong all together, as they are out of business. The others I will keep on until maybe the end of next month. With all this gear between .048 and .065 J/GH , there are really only going to be 3 proven distributors of Competitive Hardware. Bitmain, Innosilicon, and MicroBT.

I believe I will move companies like Bitfily, Bitfury, Canaan, and Ebang to the bottom of the post under a horizontal line. Naming them as previously competitive hardware just to show the most recent changes. I believe most of the companies to still be in business. Bitfily hasn't updated their site in a long time so I'm not sure of their status at the moment.

We are not retail.

Canaan is jut struggling to be competitive, gear has still been well made.

Halong seems to be gone.

Bitfury is very hard to buy their gear.

I am not sure what will happen with Avalon since the A921 was a real bomb.
I like working with them I hope they make an A941 that works well.

Innosilicon has been given top spot in efficiency. They are noted as having several batches. The real world tests didn't match their specs 100%, but it is a minute sample size and all numbers quoted are Manufacturer advertised numbers.

I am also considering removing some of the listed Hardware:

Halong - If I'm not mistaken this company is no longer operating or producing Hardware.
Bitfury - I'm on the fence without knowing if the Tardis ever shipped out to anyone. If not there last miner is well outside competitive.

As always I'm open to input.

I keep the Op up to date pretty regular. Right now the ones to watch are Bitmain, Innosilicon, and MicroBT (Whatsminer). Some have good hardware available now some have a miner being speculated about, most have links to the info.

If you can't find something let me know.

Update today-

Added the M20 as a discussion thread for MicroBT
Change Innosilicon's product to the T3 - and updated stats. I made mention that it is now the most efficient but will make the change once we see that it is at or near spec for power draw.

As always if you see an error or have something for me to add let me know.

I hope to get a watts number on the T3 in the next week or so.
He told me he was shipping it from his house (no meters) to hosting with a meter.

I've gone through and updated all the current hardware listings. This was to account for any changes in Price, MOQ, Specs of the unit.

I am also considering removing Halong Mining as I believe they are out of business and will no longer be producing hardware.

Let me know if I missed anything.

Edit: I messed up, I was planning on logging the before and after as I made a lot of updates. I'll try and do that in the future in case anyone wants to compare.

... My biggest issue is the locked down firmware that doesn't allow SSH. If you'd like to know before I get the pictures, LPM is around 900 watts @ ~16V input, controller pulls 12V and hashrate is about 18Th/s. Without LPM it pulls around 1620w @ between 18-20V with the controller pulling 12V and a hashrate between 27 and 29th/s, most of the time it's in the 28TH range.

so at 1620/28000 it is 57 watts a th

the m10 is 2400/34000 or 70 watts a th

the s15 cost 1204 plus shipping and maybe taxes
the m10 cost 1022 plus shipping and maybe taxes

edge to s15

anyone try new firmware for t15 and or s15?

Yes thank you.
Got a little busy but I will update the list accordingly.

For now looks like Bitmain take #1 and #2 spots, with the T 15 low power mode
