ETH’s mining game has just reached upwards, even as the second biggest blockchain in the market has started the formal cycle of getting rid of its dependency on the market.
A China-based mining firm Linzhi Inc., Shenzhen, has started revealing another Ethereum ASIC miner named the Phoenix, allegedly multiple times more impressive than the top alternatives accessible today. As revealed by CoinDesk, the excursion to create an all the more remarkable and productive Ethash ASIC excavator was started somewhere in the range of two years prior by Chen Min, previous CTO of mining giant Canaan.
Mining pool F2 Pool delivered a demo of the new machine on YouTube Saturday. The Phoenix dominates the following best A10+ Pro at 2,600 uber hashes for each second MH/s to around 500 MH/s. Linzhi’s new machine is likewise more energy-productive checking in at 3,000 watts for every hour to the A10+ Pro’s 1,300 W, F2 Pool stated.
The new product comes as the Ethereum network has started a specialized change from a proof-of-work (PoW) agreement system to a proof-of-stake (PoS). That cycle started on December 1 with the dispatch of the Beacon Chain.
In any case, miners have in any event a two-year runway with PoW on Ethereum. The current organization, Eth 1.x, won’t be moved over to the new PoS blockchain until stage 1.5 of Eth 2.0. The current Linzhi Phoenix demoed by F2 Pool will require in any event one update to remain helpful before that change, notwithstanding.
The ETH network’s directed acyclic graph (DAG), a part of Ethereum’s PoW algorithm known as Ethash. Other Ethash-based digital currencies, for example, Ethereum Classic will at present be utilizing proof-of-work, which means a market will, in any case, exist for the Phoenix even after Eth 2.0 stage 1.5.
