Where Did All the ASIC Manufacturers Go? Bitmain, Canaan & More Go Silent
Where are all the ASIC manufacturers? That's the question that's been sitting with me, and I'm bringing it to you live from Mining Disrupt in Miami on this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast. Major players like Bitmain, Canaan, Elphapex, IceRiver, and GoldShell have all gone quiet on the home mining hardware front, and I want to dig into why. I break down what's happening — or more accurately, what's not happening — with each of these brands, share where things currently stand, and give you a first-hand update on my own gear straight from the mining floor. I also get into the rumor mill a bit, speculating on Canaan's talked-about "lifestyle" miners that are reportedly coming at CES, and what that could mean for the home mining space if it actually happens. And with new releases seemingly on pause across the board, I share my own take on the used miner market right now and why this quiet period might be worth paying attention to if you're in the market for hardware. This one's part industry update, part live-from-the-show energy, and part me thinking out loud about where home mining hardware goes from here. Drop your thoughts in the comments — I want to know what you're seeing out there too.
