Bitmain refutes rumors that the Antminer F3 Ethereum mining machine is malicious

This afternoon (March 31), a video of Ant F3 mining was circulated in WeChat groups and friends circles. Has someone already obtained the legendary Ant F3 Ethereum mining machine and started mining?

Later, Ant officially refuted the rumor, saying that "the rumors on the market about the F3 model are not true."

We don’t know what the purpose of the video maker is, so everyone should not spread rumors, and especially not be cheated by scammers.

Here is the rumor video:

The video starts with the management backend of the mining machine, which is the same as the management backend interface of other ASIC mining machines. The mining machine's computing power is displayed at about 1.5GH/S, with 3 computing boards.

This interface can be easily faked, and any information on the page can be modified using browser tools.

Next is the actual mining machine. The black logo clearly says ANTMINER F3 and the SN code says F3_1.5G.

This piece can be faked by making a label on an Antminer S9

Finally, the video shooter also took a photo of his mobile phone, showing the current time of March 31st at 16:43

Just now, Bitmain’s Sales Director, Li Kuang, also published a WeChat Moments to refute the rumor and pointed out the loopholes of the counterfeiters.

There have been constant rumors about the Ant F3 Ethereum mining machine. We still need to be vigilant, identify official information, and not be defrauded of money by scammers with ulterior motives.
