Title: Whats the best mining equipment on the market today?
Post by: Saidasun on July 19, 2021, 06:08:15 PM
I have a place which is pretty cheap in electricity and would have good circulation being a warehouse. The warehouse is huge and while it is used for other things there would be a dedicated area for the miners so they could run uninterrupted 24/7. The only issue is there are so many miners out there today and a lot of them are either sold out or on preorder and I am wondering what would be the best investment for a medium scale operation?

There is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to choosing a mining gear, it's a combination of a few factors.

1- Your power rate and voltage
2- Your budget
3- Your power and space capcitity

These are a few major factors that need to be considered, there are a few more, but you basically want to evaluate all things to make the right decision, the only common thing would be to avoid mining gears that are known to have a high failure rate, other than that, it's case-by-case.

It also depends on how many miners you're able to fit in the warehouse, since you'll want to maximize the space used while staying within budget. I don't believe miner dimensions vary too much but if it means buying second-hand or slightly older-gen miners so use up all the space, do so (e.g S17 instead of S19, but not an S9 for example).

Used S17+ is the best investment for me, good pricing, high hashrate and good cost efficiency..

Out of tens of models that the mining industry has ever known, the S17+ is in the top 3 worst mining gears ever, it has one of the highest failure rates among its generation model which is the 17 series, and the 17 series are by far the WORST performing mining gears, there is a good reason as to why they sell them a lot cheaper than other models which are even less effienct.

The s17+
The s17e
the t17e
the t17+. all were bad for me.

the s17pro has beed good. the 50th and the 53th both do well for me.

and the two t17 were okay.

at op what is cheap power 2 cents 3 cents 4 cents 5 cents a kwatt or something else

and how many watts can you do at 220-240 volts?

It matters as the s9 could work if you have really cheap power ,space and lots of power.


You can get s9 with psu in large buys of 500 units cheap.

that would be 1300 x 500 = 650kwatts.

it would be 6. or 7 ph which is around 2000 usd worth of coin a day.

if you buy the gear at 150k usd  and your power is 2 cents it costs. 312 a day so you net

2000-312= 1688 a day in 100 days the gear is paid off.

but you need two cent power. and 650 kwatts an hour to burn.
