Is it so bad for the owners of "older" ASICs and there is no hope for efficient and profitable mining for them? Let's try to find out and for this purpose let's examine the economic models of both new ASICs and their "boosted" rivals.
The product is called the NewPac. It connects to a laptop or PC through a USB port. According to the businessman, it allows everyone to try mining and become part of the cryptocurrency world.
The idea of combining a decentralized data storage and payment system was most vividly described in the white paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”.
Thus, for the 250 GB model, the guaranteed capacity of recorded information is reduced by 55% (from 380 to 170 TB). For 500 GB - by 79% (from 800 to 170 TB).
The new machine will be named L7 and is intended primarily for the mining of Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE). It also means that the ASIC will support all cryptocurrencies based on the Scrypt algorithm.
The firmware allows to disable fans without using any kind of kludges and makes it equally operable both for air-cooled ASICs and when using immersion cooling with equipment fully submerged into dielectric coolant.
