Batch 12 and Batch 13 of the Antminer S9

August 17, 2016 / / 1 Comment

Batch 10 and batch 11 of the Antminer S9 sold out in roughly 10 hours of launch. They were considerably stocked and so we were overwhelmed by the response again.

Unfortunately many Bitmain fans and miners missed their chance to order before the two batches sold out.

So we have good news for everyone: we are going to release two new batches!

Batch 12 and batch 13 can deliver a hashrate of 11.85TH/s and 12.93TH/s, respectively.

They will be available to order after 2300 hours (Beijing time, GMT +8) tomorrow (18 August 2016).

We suggest everybody to confirm their order here (https://goo.gl/w3G2NB) for batch 12 or here (https://goo.gl/jpvZU3) for batch 13 before they sell out.

We wish all a very happy mining experience with Bitmain.

Bitmain Invests in BitKan

April 14, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Beijing-based mining giant Bitmain has invested $1.6m in bitcoin-focused data and trading services provider BitKan.

Bitmain was the sole investor in the Series A round, which follows an angel round investment from Lanqi Venture Capital Investment last November. Based in Shenzhen, BitKan offers bitcoin data and pricing services, and recently launched an over-the-counter (OTC) bitcoin trading service.

Founded in 2013, BitKan was launched by former employees of China-based IT giant Huawei. The firm offers Google Play and iTunes apps, and the startup hopes to leverage its existing reach to encourage trading on its platform.

The firm said in statements that the investment and the new trading feature represent a formal change in the company’s business strategy, one that positions it more as a competitor to existing peer-to-peer bitcoin trading services.

A spokesperson told CoinDesk:

“The new feature, when leveraging BitKan’s existing user base and news and price charting functionality, holds great potential that has already been demonstrated by services with similar functionality such as LocalBitcoins.”

In addition to manufacturing mining hardware, Bitmain also operates Antpool, the world’s largest bitcoin mining pool at press time with 28% of the network’s hashrate.

The investment finds Bitmain becoming increasingly willing to invest its funds in the wider bitcoin ecosystem, following its participation in a March funding round for smart contract platformRootstock and its February investment in Israeli payments service Simplex.

Simplex Office-Bitmain, Israel

Bitmain Invests in Simplex

February 7, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The startup is hoping to bring bitcoin purchasing into the mainstream by adding credit card payment options.

Israeli bitcoin payment company Simplex has closed a $7 million Series A financing round with the participation of angel investors and companies in the bitcoin ecosystem, such as Bitmain and Cumberland.

Founded by serial entrepreneur CEO Nimrod Lehavi and two PayPal veterans, Erez Shapira and Netanel Kabala, the company has raised $8.4 million to date, including the most recent financing round. Simplex says it has already processed over $3.5 million in transactions since going live in beta a year ago and now plans a full launch.

The firm is hoping to bring bitcoin purchasing into the mainstream through an API that makes it easy and risk-free for exchanges, brokers and wallets to add a credit card payment option on their checkout pages and process consumer purchases.

Simplex offers an alternative to the most common method of payment for bitcoin purchases – wire transfers to exchanges, which can take up to three days and entail KYC requirements by banks, including providing explanations for purchases as well as copies of IDs.

Lehavi said, “Banks often place additional restrictions on which countries Bitcoin exchange customers can send wire transfers to. For example, it may be difficult for the average US resident to use a wire transfer to buy bitcoins from countries outside of the US like Slovenia, Hong Kong or China. This clearly creates very high friction and makes mainstream adoption of bitcoin far from easy.”

He added, “With Simplex, transactions are convenient, carry less restrictions, and occur almost instantaneously. Bitcoin buyers can use Simplex’s checkout page on Bitcoin exchanges, broker websites, and wallet applications, then proceed with their purchases, as they would on any e-commerce site.”
