So, a new ASIC miner just hit the market, called NM440. It's claiming to deliver 440 EH/s and is priced lower than what we've got from other miners right now. Has anyone done some digging on these guys? Sounds wild that this machine is 3-4 times stronger than what Bitmain offers.

Absolute rubbish, doing 444THs - no problem, just use more chips and bigger PSU's. Using 75% less power per TH -- bullshit. Ya may want to checkout the folks they (say) they are selling to conned into buying the 1st ones https://sphere3d.com/ and I have no doubt that Sphere is the main group behind this.  Looking at Sphere's Investor Relations page just leads to more and more red flags about the whole thing. To save a lot of needless rehashing of Speculation, here is the main part of a discussion about them we had in the KanoPool Discord room last night, the real meat starts at 9:22 mark:

Wanted to publish the same article today as I came across the news regarding this miner. I was so stunned after reading that single machine can produce over 400 TH of power. The machine photo if you checkout is straight out of the sci-fi movie and you can check the same on the article that is linked in reference. Though the discussion is still on regarding the legitimacy of the miner there is news from coindesk where they stated a deal was cracked by Gryphon mining company with this Numiner firm and they have invested over billion dollars to preorder the Numiner which is miraculously speeding 400 TH mining.

Right-click on the image , search with google lens, look at results: Nu miner: Cerebras CS-1, actual product and not a miner! Enough?

Lolz. Fairly enough. End of discussion here. I think stompix needs to get on to the panel of juri and tell them how he identified the fake miner. Wondering how they deceived everyone into this story. I mean I am myself feeling really naive about this after reading your simple two liner answer to the matter. However, it has got to do something with the Graphic processing anyways. Look at the official website of Crebras and you will find it’s application in the image processing of proteins and viruses clusters. The site says Cerebras is: This could be to put on the impression that it’s advance machine where cluster of GPU is replaced with AI stuff as per official site. Don’t know. It’s still unclear for me. Referred here: CEREBRAS

What makes matter worse is even the so-called main financial media companies that so many ordinary people look up to like bloomberg.com published such scam on their website Link - https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2022-02-03/numiner-announces-next-generation-nm440-bitcoin-miners-and-numiner-global-launch These are the same sites that are so quick on spreading FUD about Bitcoin, especially whenever there is a price drop.

Paid press releases, this stupid thing with PRNewswire, globalwire and all the other useless services like these seriously needs to stop, and all these so-called media outlets need to at least put a damn disclaimer on top of the article, yahoo used to have one now they've dropped and it seems as nobody else cares about it anymore, they just dump it on the websites with no checks. But what can you aspect from the people who actually published that fake press release from Walmart about accepting litecoin? And that was #%^#$ Walmart, not some no-name company. But, the image of the miraculous miner is gone, probably they are photoshopping something else, also you can't really directly order from the website, you have to send an inquiry, probably selective scamming as not to piss the wrong guys?

heh, on Feb 10 they even went as far as to publicly announce the image was faked. ROFL -- Just A similarity? This 'multi-million dollar' company couldn't even hire a technical illustrator to draw their vision of what their unicorn miner *may* look like but instead had one of their kids photoshop a real piece of hardware (the Cerebras) that has nothing to do with mining?   Gotta love this from their FAQ: In not so many words: It's majik and therefore a secret...

It's funny how far the Numiner scammers are willing to go just to try and cover up their scammy asses. What a very stupid sort of reasoning from their Press release. Luck enough, they won't be able to delete this thread  and the archived version of their fake miner listed on their website - https://web.archive.org/web/20220204014705/https://numiner.com/nm440/
