Title: Re: what equip do most farmers use? and why Post by: Amph on July 05, 2015, 05:44:01 PM they obviously use the most efficient miners, which is still the antminer s5, but s6 and s7 are coming, the s6 this month if i'm not mistaken, and they should be around 1.4 more efficient
antmienr s4+ is also good, because it can help you with density if you don't have the place and your farm is really big Title: Re: what equip do most farmers use? and why Post by: alh on July 06, 2015, 08:09:14 PM The rumors I have heard regarding Bitmain hardware (i.e. the Antminer S3, S4, S4+.... series) is that they will announce the S7 this month (i.e. July). The price, and specification are not disclosed at the present time, nor is any delivery schedule, order quantities, etc. I've read that there isn't an S6 current planned, and that Bitmain produced the S4+ instead.
In terms of other gear, Spondoolies makes the various SPxx line of miners. I think the largest is roughly 5+ TH and is called the SP35 (I think?). The SP20 for example, is no longer being produced, nor do I think the SP10 is. Each piece of gear has it's own speed, power, noise, voltage (i.e. 120V or 240V), and packaging specifics. A couple of preliminary questions you should ask yourself: If your electricity cost exceed $.15 (i.e. 15 cents) per KWH, then you will mine at a loss. Do you have, or are you willing to install, something beyond 120V (in the USA)? What about noise and heat where you plan to run it? Some devices run quite load, and produce lots of heat. Lots to read on the various sub forums (e.g. Hardware) to find out more about various options.

Bitmain they hold the top spot and will for a long time to come and i guess why we haven't heard much on the S7 is because of the sfards miner due out next month . https://bitmaintech.com/product.htm Spondoolies may or may not come back with a home miner they said they want to but well see . :) . http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/ This one is maybe but they want to much from all the rumors on pricing but i wouldn't put it past them . http://www.sfards.com/ The Avalon4.1 Bitcoin Miner was one of the top three once it sold out they took the site off line and the Devper IS MiA. and like alh :) said if you live in the US and want to home mine at some point you will need at least 1 240 line installed but have two installed to be safe . it's not a option either if you want to mine with 12 or more in your home in the US and keep your house safe from fires.
