I keep a close eye on Bitmain's hashrates and I had noticed a new algo pop up.

This is Tensority, which I believe is the Algo for BTM. They are currently running at 0.09GH/s which if I'm correct is approximately 55% of the coin's total hashrate.

Bitmain disclosed on the 5th of March 2019 that their hashrates on that date are as follows:

SHA256            ETHASH             CRYPTONIGHT      SCRYPT           BLAKE256      TENSORITY
1692.35PH/s   154.52GH/s      1864.75MH/s    1686.93GH/s   69.03PH/s       0.09GH/s

I was interested as I'd heard Bitmain mention nothing of these ASICS, nor have I seen a tensority ASIC from another manufacturer.

I also am surprised that Bitmain is running over half of the hashrate themselves and that they have chosen this Algo.

I'd estimate they are making almost $300,000 per month mining BTM.

Have I missed anything here?
