Hey Steemians,
We are all aware about the Bitcoin mining, its necessity, its raising difficulty, increase in fees as well as hardware complications. Bitmain ASIC Antminer S9 is considered to be best hardware as of now, to be the most efficient mining hardware for bitcoin. But soon we may witness a revolution in Bitcoin Mining as Halong Mining is ready with a new bitcoin mining hardware, DragonMint 16T.
Mining hardware name has been derived from the chat channel on BTC Core Community, Dragon Den. DragonMint 16T is fully equipped with latest designed chipset and it is able to produce unbelievable 16 THs. The company claims that the machine is going to consume 30% less electricity that its direct competitor Bitmain Antminer S9. They claim DragonMint to be the most advanced miner.
For entering ASIC market, the most important factor is huge capital as creating specialized chips is expensive. Company claims that the the hardware as well chips has been created under the guidance of specialized experts. Halong Mining as of now has workforce of 100 people including software & electronic engineers and claims to have invested nearly $30 millions in R&D of the hardware.
A prototype is already being used for practical testing as well as final tuning but that wont be available for public use as of now. They have also posted a video of DragonMint.
Company may produce first mass-batch of DragonMint miners in coming months and may start shipping to customers by First Quarter 2018. It may also sell mining chips individually but in bulk.
BTcDrak, Bitcoin Core Contributor who has actively helped Halong Mining setting up DragonMint believes that Single mining hardware hanufacturer is not good for Bitcoin as it creates monopoly. Centralization is a huge drawback in mining keeps you vulnerable to governments as well as criminals. He has brought the competition to protect the miners as well as people involved via Decentralization.
One advice to those who got plans to step into mining "business" :
There is nothing more important in your preparations than to PROPERLY evaluate and predict the growth of the mining difficulty.
If you fail to do this right - your planed (expected) profits will turn into nothing but disappointment and losses.
You can trust me, as the past owner of the first and second generation of ASIC's. (not to mention cpu, VGA and FPGA mining)

From your experience, generally, what is the ROI you've received and how long have they been profitable for on those previous gens of ASICs you've used? (Variables such as BTC price / elec cost obvi. have a great effect)

I do not remember all so well...been 3 or 4 years since then. But ROI was not that fantastic, in general they mined to me about ~1,5-1,7 times more BTC than I have paid for them (measured all in BTC, until it became full non-profitable, below the electricity cost). Shipping was dealyed much, and 1 month late in starting was making a huge huge reduction to ROI ( due to a very fast difficulty increase) Hence - my warnings.

@pkalra thank you for sharing this with us, I personally think with Dragonmint miner coming out, Antminer should come on cheap prices and there's not much difference at the moment. especially, Antminer being 13 TH/s miner beast... :)

I think the key advantage that will atract more miners is not the increase on the hashing speed, but the fact it will use 30% less electricity.

Until I see a room full of them and proof of product or production I'm always leery about new mining equipment offerings. Looking back onto when ASIC Bitcoin miners first erupted onto the scene a number of years back I remember a number of startups claiming to have cheap, powerful and production ready miners but in the end just running off with customers cash.
Hopefully these guys actually deliver these running at the advertised speeds and efficiency!
Always do your own research of course.

Jeez, mining as a process is outdated and obsolete in 2017, but they still are making tons of these shitty ASICs... Is this OK, when a couple of nuclear power stations are generating power just to power bitcoin miners (equivalent of power generated)?

I am wondering about price. Also 16T is not big change according to S9. Only 18% if we consider S9 is 13.5 T. If the price come with half of S9 then it is considerable. Other way it will be investment for waiting BTC to rise more. I am sure it will happen but it will increase ROI. Thanks for sharing

Adam Back is supporting them, so the miners are legit. The only issue is with the ability of the company to scale the production.

May be that is the reason for minimum order by Company is 5 units per order @maaren
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
That makes no sense. Minimum order of 5 doesn't do anything to alleviate the production scaling. Big miners will be ordering batches of 1000 miners. The small miners that would buy one or two are few and far between.
They already postponed their first deliveries to March 2018 and said that these delivery times were an estimate, so the demand must be through the roof.

ASIC mining manufacturers (other than Bitmain) unfortunately have a habit of promising more than they deliver.
