Miner Litecoin Script Harmonic, scheduled for delivery in late 2022, claims an estimated return on investment of 2 years.
Being a scrypt chip, the Harmonychain chip is designed for mining Litecoin (LTC) and scrypt-based coins. The company claims the chips are 300 to 500 percent more energy efficient, which would reduce computer power consumption by 70 to 80 percent. If the research and development goes well, Harmonychain hopes to deploy Scrypt ASIC semiconductors with AI potential by 2022 or 2023. The startup maintains that it will be the most cost-effective mining platform on the market when it comes to market.
According to harmonychain.com, the ASIC is designed as a dual-purpose chip with artificial intelligence potential around the edges. If production of the prototype goes well, we expect to begin mass delivery in the second half of 2022 and 2023. By industry standards, customers can expect to be paid approximately 9 to 12 months prior to delivery. This supercomputer will be the most cost-effective cryptographic hardware on the market. Our crypto supercomputer miners pay for themselves in less than two years, according to the company’s FAQ.
