The new ASIC miner manufacturer VolcMiner has released its first model D1 for mining cryptocurrencies based on the Scrypt algorithm (Litecoin, Doge). The new product immediately tries to create competition for the leader in this market, Bitmain, and its latest model Antminer L9, which was released in the spring of 2024. D1 from VolcMiner offers the same hashrate of 17Gh/s and with slightly higher power consumption, but at a significantly lower price of 8160 USD instead of 11200 USD, which Bitmain asks for the L9.

Conclusion: Volcminer offers a very competitive solution in the form of the D1 miner, despite the fact that this is the first experience in the production of ASIC cryptocurrency miners for this company. Since this is a newly created company, it is better to order this ASIC through trusted suppliers, and not directly through the company's website, because it could be a scam that simply collects money under the guise of selling ASIC miners.
