Are these new units or old units.

These are not new ASICs, but a remake of the old version Bitmain Antminer E9 (2.4Gh)

The manufacturer added more memory, more chips and a new firmware for Ethereum Classic mining. If a firmware appears that can mine Ethereum POW and other similar coins, then this is the end for mining on video cards. You need to monitor the hashrate of the coins.



Luckily the ETHW coin so far is free from ASICS as the network difficulty is just 200-230 T most of the time,a very low difficulty indicating that only GPU miners mostly are mining it while some ASICS maybe doing so also but in very very low quantity.I think most ASICS already moved to Ethereum Classic and they are bearing the cost,the miners mining it which made the difficulty go from 300 T to even over 2 P at some point and the difficulty of them is still very high.

Once ASICS start following ETHW it will be the end for GPU miners in the sense that they will mine very low amounts daily but I assume that also the price will grow over time and as such favoring people who have been mining it since the beginning in September 2022.

Are these new units or old units. I am assuming they are currently in use somewhere at a farm and will be pressure cleaned and Shipped away. Bitmain has been doing this for years with many ASICs.

So most likely the difficult won’t change by much. It will just move to a different home. I don’t think they will invest more money into building more of these ETH ASICs because the profits are not the same as before. And compared to sha256 these have probably a much lower margin.

If someone was able to buy for $ 2,000, then the payback is about 10-12 months.
7 GB of memory will be practically a long time. After the launch of these ASICs, video cards will become useless when mining Ethereum classic.
Asics are already sold out, but I didn’t want to buy Smiley
