Dear subscriber,


We are proud and happy to announce the all-new Antminer E3, a new Antminer model for
mining cryptocurrencies based on the hashing algorithm Ethash.


The Antminer E3 is estimated to deliver a minimum hashrate of 180MH/s while
consuming 800W of total power.


The very first batch of the Antminer E3 is available to order now and all orders
will be shipped as soon the miners are ready. Although this is estimated to be after
16 July 2018 (and before 31 July 2018), we will ship all orders as soon as the
miners are ready.


To prevent hoarding by some users or resellers and to ensure that more individuals
around the globe are able to order this new ASIC miner:


There is an ordering limit of one miner per user.
The miner is unavailable in Mainland China.
The batch cannot be ordered if the delivery address is in Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan.

I have a feeling, switching to pos is very soon... this summer exactly

Even with the switch they still need miners, they are not 100% POS after it's done, it's a gradual thing I believe right? At least that's what I gathered when reading about it before.

This "ASIC" if you want to call it that, isn't even that great specs wise. You can get the same out of 6 GPU's or less, it's just more convenient in a box. Will be interesting to see where it goes.
