What’s new? Bitmain, a manufacturer of crypto mining equipment, has announced the start of sales of its Antminer E9 ASIC miner. The new model was announced more than a year ago when Ethereum mining revenues set a record of $2,4 billion per month. In this, the cryptocurrency’s developers report that the network’s transition from the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof of Stake (PoS) may take place as early as August 2022. However, after the upgrade, the Antminer E9 can be used to mine other cryptocurrencies based on the Ethash algorithm.
