MinerEU Summer Promotion Prices for ZeusMiner and Gridseed

11, Jul 2014

minereu-summer-promotion-asic-miners

MinerEU, an official Gridseed and ZeusMiner distributor, has announced today a new summer sale of Scrypt ASIC miners and the promotional prices they now have for some of the miners are really attractive. In fact these new prices make it really much more attractive to order from MinerEU than to purchase directly from ZeusMiner, especially the larger Hurricane and Thunder miners that you can currently get at half their normal price. So if you were considering to buy some Scrypt ASIC miners and not do some pre-order, then you might want to check this promotion.

– ZeusMiner Blizzard – $80 USD
– ZeusMiner Hurricane X3 – $460 USD
– ZeusMiner Thunder X3 – $850 USD
– Gridseed G-Blade – $300 USD

Furthermore if you buy 4 or more ZeusMiner Blizzard miners you can use the promotional code blizz240 in order to get a price of $60 USD per unit instead of the regular single unit price of $80 USD. What we would really want to see however is a price promotion for the A2-based Scrypt ASIC miners as well, though apparently Innosilicon is still selling their 28nm Scrypt ASIC chips at pretty high prices and as a result their miners are still much more expensive compared to the competition for the same hashrate.

New ZeusMiner Scrypt ASICs with Lower Power Consumption are Coming

10, Jul 2014

ZeusMiner is apparently working hard in improving the power consumption of their Scrypt ASIC miners and they have just released a video showing some new prototypes with 30% better power efficiency compared to the already available products. The new devices should be capable of providing 19-20 MHS with less than 400W of power usage and 9-10 MHS with less than 200W according to the latest update from Zeus. These numbers sure do look better than what the current power consumption of the ZeusMiner Scrypt ASIC miners is, but are still far from what we were promised before the company has finalized their products. There are still more powerful 55nm Scrypt ASIC miners, in terms of hashrate, that do offer lower power usage than what the new miners from Zeus should be providing. The advantage that ZeusMiners do have however is the more attractive price of the hardware, and that can be a reason enough for people with cheaper electricity to go for them.

Raspberry Pi Overclock Optimized Image for Innosilicon A2 Scrypt ASIC Miners

1, Jul 2014

innosilicon-a2-rpi-oc-image

Something very interesting for the people with Innosilicon A2-based Scrypt ASIC miners, a Raspberry Pi image based on the original Innosilicon web-based interface, but with much more options for setting the operating frequency of the miner. This release by a user called Emdje should be compatible with both the smaller and the large A2 Scrypt ASIC miners allowing the users to set the operating frequency of the chip boards available between 1200 MHz and 1330 MHz, in increments of 5 MHz. This allows for some fine tuning to reach better performance balancing the performance and HW error rate optimally for your own mining hardware, as the default RPi image for the A2 miners from Innisilicon limits you to either 1000 MHz or 1200 MHz setting for the frequency. And an operating frequency of more than 1200 MHz with no significant increase in the number of HW errors is easily achievable as these A2-based miners are operating very cool and can be pushed some more. And who would not wan to get some extra hashrate from the existing mining hardware…
