A bit faster than S9, same power consumption as latest S9 batches and potentially a bit cheaper but MOQ 6 and currently OOS

If it exists and takes away from Bitmain, I can see them coming out with a new miner as they've been pretty relaxed on Sha256 for a while as why max out a market when you're doing nicely at the top of the market and have no competition anyway, which is why the S9 has done SOOOOO well rather than being at the mercy of an arms race and obsolete within months, arguably like the D3 was......I mean *WHY* rapidly up the difficulty as the networks balances an increase in hashing power etc

First of DragonMint that were ordered at the end of November are supposed to ship in March, it's not a massive improvement, only about 14% so not going to make much difference. Bitmain also has their own mining farms and a stake in others so it's understandable that they are not in the rush to release anything more powerful/efficient while there is no competition. They do have a share but I don't know how big in what was the largest farm in world at the time located in Mongolia with 21k S9's. What would they do with all those S9's if they released something 2x more efficient. Who knows if they have something up their sleeve or not. Maybe they just concentrated most R&D for Sophon AI and directed most of resources there.

 I'm guessing you know Ainars, judging by your location? Quote:

 The D2/D3 is a *LOT* of car for not a lot of money. Great reliable beasts that don't look their age and have already depreciated to almost nothing!
