The mining equipment manufacturer Bitmain plans<\/a> to unveil Antminer units for the privacy-focused Aleo blockchain based on zero-knowledge proofs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company said it aims to ‘help the ecosystem thrive’, but did not disclose a timeline for the mining hardware release.<\/p>\n

The Aleo blockchain is still operating on a testnet. In February 2022 the project raised $200 million<\/a> in a Series B funding round.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitmain will continue to adhere to the concept of making \u2018the digital world of humanity better\u2019, work with customers on a \u2018mutually beneficial, long-term and loyal basis\u2019 to build a more prosperous and transparent PoW<\/span><\/a>-space,\u201d the Chinese firm said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In September the company introduced announced<\/a> bitcoin miner Antminer S21 of the new generation. The device delivers an efficiency of 17.5 J\/TH \u2014 the best on the market.<\/p>\n

In early October, Australian Iris Energy said it purchased 7000 units of Antminer S21 for $19.6 million<\/a> \u2014 at $14 per TH\/s. The manufacturer provided the firm with a one-year payment deferral of $2.9 million.<\/p>\n

In the same month, the American cryptocurrency mining company CleanSpark announced<\/a> plans to acquire new mining devices from Bitmain with a total hashrate of 4.4 EH\/s. Deliveries are set to begin in January 2024.<\/p>\n

Analyst Jaran Mellerud called it ‘crazy’ that miners are not rushing to take advantage of the pre-order for installations at such a favorable price of $14 per TH\/s.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin miners must be crazy to not take advantage of the S21 pre-order for $14\/T \u2014 High ROI due to low price and protected downside due to superior efficiency. <\/p>\n

So far, @CleanSpark_Inc<\/a> is the only public miner who has announced the execution of this deal. pic.twitter.com\/NQDvANuGlg<\/a><\/p>\n
