The cryptocurrency mining industry has recently been hit by another major scandal involving specialized hardware. ASIC. The InitVerse (INI/IniCoin) project, which promoted dedicated miners like the Pinecone INIBOX and INIBOX Pro, turned out to be a planned scam. The token price crashed, the network turned out to be completely centralized, and hundreds of miners who had purchased equipment for thousands of dollars just days before the collapse were left […]
Every six months, air cooling is buried in mining huts. And every six months, someone installs a new batch of air S21s and quietly makes money on them. The truth, as usual, is not in the slogan, but in the numbers — and in where exactly the line is drawn between “air is still worth it” and “from now on, it’s just water”. This article […]
EXCLUSIVE / TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Billions of decommissioned mining machines are gathering dust in warehouses while the world suffers from a critical shortage of computing power for artificial intelligence. Is it possible to “reprogram” Antminer to ChatGPT and run AI Cloud directly on the mining farm? 1. Introduction: The tempting illusion of saving millions Every owner of a crypto farm or decommissioned ASIC devices (like Antminer S19/S21) about this idea at least […]
The era when artificial intelligence was seen exclusively as a cloud chatbot is officially over. The advent of autonomous agents (Agentic AI) and complex multimodal systems has confronted companies with a harsh reality. Third-party API bills are becoming unsustainable and corporate data security has become a critical point. The main IT trend is a massive transition to local AI infrastructure (on-premise) and […]
On June 26, 2026, the Kaspa (KAS) network activated the largest update in its history — a hardfork called Toccata. Let’s take a quick look at what it is, what it’s for, and how it could affect the future of the coin. What is a hardfork and why you shouldn’t be afraid of it The word “hardfork” scares many people — they immediately think of the history of Bitcoin’s split […]
The last months of 2026 were tough for Bitcoin owners. ASICa demanding test. Price BTC dropped to annual lows, the network has seen significant difficulty drops several times in a row, and some large publicly traded mining companies have even begun to shift capacity from Bitcoin towards AI infrastructure. Against this backdrop, altcoin miners — primarily Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR) […]
Most cryptocurrency projects borrow a proven solution from someone else when choosing a mining algorithm. Bitcoin uses SHA-256, Litecoin uses Scrypt, Ethereum Classic uses Ethash. Xphere went a different route: they wrote their own algorithm from scratch. It’s called XPHash, and in 2026 it even had its first dedicated ASIC miner — IceRiver XP0. What is XPHash and why was it created […]
On the domestic market ASIC miners are busy: fresh pieces of IceRiver XP0 Custom Edition have finally arrived to the first customers. This micro-ASIC was created for the brand new XP hash algorithm for mining the Xphere coin (XPH). The device has only recently seen the light of day, but there is already a lot of excitement around it. Let's see what kind of machine it is […]
A bombshell just exploded in the crypto mining world. Bitmain, the largest manufacturer ASIC miners in the world, officially announced that it is canceling production of the expected Antminer X9 model (1000 KH/s) for the RandomX algorithm (Monero). This step comes at a time when many miners already had orders ready. What happened, why did the X9 end up in the dustbin of history and what awaits owners of older models […]
Many experts predicted the end of home mining in regions with expensive electricity. But the reality of 2026 is completely different. While some are counting losses, owners of Antminer Z15 Pro (version 840/860) and innovative INI BOX PRO are reporting record profits. Even with European prices around $0,27 per kWh, these devices are not just “at zero”, but are generating real profit. […]
