Znamenje časa: Bitmain zniža ceno vodilne rudarske opreme S19 Pro

Proizvajalec strojne opreme bitcoin Bitmain je v torek objavil znižano ceno za enega svojih bolj priljubljenih modelov, S19 Pro, kar odraža padec stroškov naprav za rudarjenje bitcoinov v celotni industriji. 

The company is now selling those machines at $19 per terahash (TH), reflecting the trend of declining ASIC machine prices, which have fallen more than 60% in the past six months, according to Bitcoin mining pool Luxor’s index data dashboard.

The S19 Pro model was trading at $28/TH in secondary markets before the Bitmain announcement, said Lauren Lin, operations manager at Luxor’s ASIC Trading Desk. “When they lowered their price to $19/TH it dropped prices 34%.”

“Prepare during the bear market, prosper during the bull market,” Bitmain said in the Objava.

Eno podjetje, ki je nedavno zbiralo ASIC-je po znižanih cenah, CleanSpark, je objavilo a množično naročilo 10,000 strojev S19j Pro at a rate of roughly $28/TH — stating also that that same model was sold at Bitmain’s website for as much as $116/TH. This would indicate a 75.9% decrease since the beginning of the year.

“Decreasing hashprice and a lack of new capital coming into mining has put significant downward pressure on ASIC prices. They have affected both primary and secondary markets,” Lin said. “Bitmain’s reduction in pricing on S19 Pros is one part of this, and has led to decreasing prices of over 10% across the board for new-generation machines.”

Going forward, Luxor expects there to be “resistance lines” in the mid- to high teens per TH, “with strong buy walls at that level,”, said Lin.

Bitmain je tudi povedal, da bodo stranke, ki so kupile naprave S19 Pro z načrtovanimi dobavami v tretjem in četrtem četrtletju tega leta, upravičene do kuponov za popust.

V ta posel je vključenih tudi nekaj drugih modelov, in sicer S19 Pro Hyd in S19 Pro+ Hyd. Podrobnosti o ponudbi kuponov so navedene tukaj.
