Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Pow.re Co-founder and CTO Ian Descoteaux joins us today to talk about all things ASIC miners. In the conversation, we speak at length about the Antminer S21, including his experience deploying this model, its quirks / failure rates, and its performance. We also touch on ASIC prices and manufacturer competition, including why MicroBT’s Whatsminers are more expensive than other models, and whether or not Auradine and Canaan will be competitive in the near-future. Finally, we close on his takes regarding Bitmain’s newest hydro model, the U3S21EXPH.
