Im so happy! this is great news. Ill refrain from laughing at Bitmain and Canaan.

Haha, that's cool, but making ASIC chips doesn't mean they're making miners. For example they could be making ASICs ships for Bitmain to build with. I really wonder who they are making these chips for, though. They will be a major player, whomever they are.

Ebang announced their new miner would use Samsung 10nm chips, could be part of it. I feel like that's probably where the chips are going, it's still anybody's guess though. Could even be an algo other than SHA256 for all we know.

I would say But the article says to mine bitcoin but it also says Ethereum which we know isnt true.
Unless it is. Lol
From the article.

Samsung has confirmed that it has begun manufacturing ASIC chips which are used to mine bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies.
