Cryptocurrency mining giant Bitmain has launched a new version of its Antminer Z string machines for Equihash algorithm coins, the business confirmed in a blog article on March 19.

The Antminer Z11, that comes around ten months following the launch of its predecessor the Z9, asserts to treble the hashing power readily available because of its goal cryptocurrencies.

The movement sees Bitmain continue to forge forward with new goods despite tough market conditions inside the cryptocurrency mining hosting business, the provider formerly shutting down several elements of its operations. The brand new Antminer is currently pre-selling on Bitmain's official site and will begin shipping soon.

The future with Bitmain

In February, Bitmain rolled out its most recent offering for SHA256 algorithm cryptocurrencies, for example Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Comparable to this hardware, the Z11 is a ASIC miner, together with the Zcash community formerly debating over whether to create the coin's network immune to ASICs.

Concerns concentrated on ASICs producing the mining landscape significantly less varied and raising the prospect of a hostile entity gaining management.

In light of this argument, Bitmain seems to wish to provide more transparency to its own target market.

"To conserve the Zcash community values about safety, accessibility and reliability, Bitmain had formerly Tweeted real-time upgrades to ensure more transparency and will continue to give shipping updates of the very first batch of those Antminer Z11," the site article stated.
