Title: which antminer is cheapest
Post by: nonbody on July 03, 2015, 04:24:50 PM
Not to run, but as  an initial purchase. power is not an issue although i cant run more than 1000watts.

literally by the title? AntMiner U1 ;)
otherwise: S3+ still goes for cheap in the marketplace from time to time

Anything USB based from them would be the cheapest to run otherwise you can find the S1 nearly dirt cheap at this point while the S3 and the S3+'s go for around $100 to $150.

$25 to $50 USD... Which is what the Antminer S1's are going for on Ebay at the moment.

okay sounds like you have very cheap power up to 1kwatt.


if that is the case get a pair of s-3+ miners and a decent psu down clock them a tiny bit to freq 206.

they will pull 660 watts and hash at 850gh for the pair.

sidehack has a decent psu and pete from gigaamz has a good psu

this psu will run 2 s-3's  and use around 640 watts  if you underclock

sometimes antminers  s-3's are as low as 90 bucks even 80

you should be able to get a psu and 2 for 300 or so.  if your power is 3 cents a kwatt you should make a profit.
