Title: Most inefficient miner?
Post by: Lance722 on July 03, 2017, 08:41:58 PM
Hey guys,

I’m kinda new to crypto currency and I’m looking for a machine with a high hash rate and also a high power consumption for a relatively low price. currently I don’t pay for the electricity bill so I want something to make me as much money as it can.

Spondoolies SP20 or Antminer S5 would probably fit what you're looking for.

 Possibly a Avalon 6.

Cointerra Terraminers and possibly S4 can work as well, although the former is known to break easily (although it does have liquid cooling and can be bought for sub-200 most of the time).

Why do you need high power consumption? Trying to piss off someone? If this is what you aim then it is fine, but if not, you should aim for the cheapest miner with the highest hashpower. And those miners aren't in production anymore so start searching with ebay.

Basically most of the older Antminers would be your best choices.
You can even find some decent S7s for less than 400 USD on Ebay.

The Antminer S5s go for about 250 USD, so I'd grab either an S5 or S7 depending on your budget.

AntMiner S9 - (13TH/s) Bitcoin Miner New (16nm - 0.098 Watt/GH) maybe good.
