Ah ok and how many different Asic Miner has Whatsminer? I see 2 different Miner. How much have bitmain? So why is it better? How do you explain the word "better" in this case?
I know bitmain doesn´t build the best miner, but the company is the biggest asic miner company, they are trustable, the miners are solid, prices are ok in my opinion.

So please do not speak bad about other companys. you must convinces us of your product.

And where is your dcr asic miner? Never released?

By "better" we mean it uses less power per hash and is cheaper to produce. You can see technical details on GitHub.

I'm not interested in convincing you of anything. This is a giveaway. Free. There is no product. We're not selling anything here.

As for the Decred ASIC, we withdrew when it became clear that the regular consumers, the buyers of Decred ASICs, were going to get hurt. Our prediction came true, and if you paid for an Obelisk Decred Miner, sorry. It lost money on electricity the very first day you got it (late). Here is a brief excerpt from our goodbye letter sent to our mailing list:

Over the last year that we've been working on dcrASIC, weve seen the Decred Mining ecosystem change significantly. Three additional ASIC manufacturers have entered the Decred miner market and saturated it. As a result, the network hashrate has increased 50x and continues to rise while the market value of DCR has increased roughly 5x in the same timeframe.

While this is a great sign for Decred's maturity as a network, it does carry a negative impact on mining profitability. The end result is that profitability for miners is now thin. ASIC manufacturers take their profit up front and let the end user (you) deal with the consequences.

We never took any money from anyone for the Decred ASIC, and I stand by that decision. We saved our customers from themselves.

My reputation is more important to me than making money up-front at the expense of consumers who get scammed. I'm a serial entrepreneur and my reputation is everything. Word gets around fast, and I've remained honorable in all my dealings with investors and customers.
