What else is known? The air-cooled HNS Blake2B+SHA3 miners with a hashrate of 9 TH/s and power of 2079 W went on sale on December 20 and were sold out for $2092. Only five units were available per customer. Bitmain’s website also reports that the entire batch of Antminer S19 Pro models with a hashrate of 100 TH/s and Antminer S19 XP Hydro (over 200 TH/s) sold out.
This year, miners have seen a drop in the profitability of cryptocurrency mining due to high network difficulty, low bitcoin prices, and rising power costs. The combination of these facts has already led to a 75% drop in profitability since the beginning of the year. In early December, Bloomberg reported that mining companies owed creditors more than $4 billion. Firms are forced to give hundreds of thousands of devices provided as collateral. At the same time in Russia, demand for ASIC miners increased by 65% in the fourth quarter compared to 2021.
