New NBMiner 26.1 With Improved Nvidia Performance for CKB and Dual Mining on AMD

15, Nov 2019

The latest NBMiner 26.1 update comes with a bit of improvement in the performance for mining CKB on Nvidia GPUs as well as support for Dual Mining ETH + CKB on AMD GPUs (dual mining was already available for Nvidia users). This update is just in time for the official launch for the Nervos CKB mainnet launch planned for tomorrow that uses the Eaglesong mining algorithm. Aside from NBMiner, you can also use GMiner and SRBMiner-MULTI for the Eaglesong algorithm, though with the latest update NBMiner should be slightly faster on Nvidia than GMiner.

We remind you that the NBMiner is a closed source GPU miner for Nvidia CUDA and now AMD as well that is available for both Windows and Linux operating systems and it has the following developer fee built-in: tensority_ethash 3%, tensority (Pascal) 2%, tensority (Turing) 3%, ethash 0.65%, cuckaroo & cuckatoo & cuckaroo_swap 2%, progpow_sero 2%, sipc 2%, bfc 3%.

Bitmain Announced Two New Antminer 17 Series ASIC Miners

9, Oct 2019

Bitmain has just announced two new Bitcoin ASIC miners with improved power efficiency and hashrate – Antminer S17+ and T17+ at the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) in Frankfurt today. The Antminer S17+ has a hash rate of 73 TH/s and operates with a power efficiency of 40 J/TH + 10%, while the T17+ offers a hash rate of 64 TH/s and a power efficiency of 50 J/TH + 10%. The Antminer S17+ and T17+ ​will be available for sale on Bitmain’s official website according to the following timing: pre-sales starting on 11 October 2019, 19:00 GMT+8 and deliveries starting sometime in the 01- 10 December 2019 timeframe. Pricing has not yet been revealed as well as detailed specifications, but they should become clear when the devices are listed for sale in 2 days time. The currently available Bitmain Antminer S17 is 53 TH/s hashrate with 45 J/TH efficiency (2385W) priced at $2322 USD for the next batch and the Bitmain Antminer T17 is 40 TH/s hashrate with 55 J/TH efficiency (2090W) priced at $951 USD for the next batch.

By using dual tube heat dissipation technology, the miners have been designed so that the space between the air inlet to the air outlet has been reduced by 50%, improving heat dissipation effectively as well as reducing fan noise. Besides, a high temperature and fan abnormal protection mechanism has been built in to ensure the stable and safe operation of the miners. Both Antminer S17+ and T17+ use the industry leading Exposed Die package solution and an optimized all-in-one design, making the models easily to be implemented and can adapt to mining farms of different sizes.

Bitmain has Announced 16 THS Antminer S9 SE Bitcoin ASIC

18, Jun 2019

Bitmain may not have a stock of their newer 7nm chips for the faster SHA256 ASIC miners, but they apparently have more of the old chips to push new miners, so hence the Antminer S9 SE is born. It is a 16 THS Bitcoin ASIC miner with built-in power supply(?) and a 1280W power consumption (80 J/TH power efficiency). The price of the new Bitmain Antminer S9 SE ASIC miner is set at $351 USD with the first batch to go on sale today scheduled for shipping in 21-31 July, 2019.

Although this may be far from the latest offerings in terms of hashrate, miners like the “new” Antminer S9 SE might be interesting for some people due to their low price and if they can be combined with low priced power it might be a good opportunity. The used market for Antminer S9 ASICs is booming lately due to the price of Bitcoin going up, so we see demand for the new miner for sure. Of course it also depends on the amount of units that Bitmain can deliver…
