Title: Antminer or else? Post by: Sinone on April 22, 2017, 07:10:24 PM Hello BCT world,
I would like to buy a miner that prevents any hassle from building my own miner using GPU, does anybody here can suggest any? Need proofs which miner could perform the best! Use Pools or solo mining? If some of you had used in the past please post details bad or good profit per year etc. Such as electricity usage! Which miner is best to use? Details of possible... I am looking forward from some experience people soon that! ::) Title: Re: Antminer or else? Post by: Nagadota on April 23, 2017, 01:31:28 PM Antminer is indeed the main series. BITMAIN is pretty evil but the machines are fairly efficient.
If you have free electricity or some sort of unchanging cost, then Avalon might be a good company for you (I think the Avalon 721 is their most popular miner). They have pretty low costs for machines relative to hashrate but the energy efficiency is very low. If your electricity costs are normal, then Antminers are your main choice - the S9 and T9 are big ones right now. Title: Re: Antminer or else? Post by: alani123 on April 24, 2017, 07:04:17 AM If you can get free/near free electricity, the older miners will be cheaper and return pure/nearly pure profit. "Free" as in paid by someone else is not common but not impossible either. But a solar investment along with bitcoin miners would only affect reliability and cause the overall ROI longer. Sort the electricity supply first, consider solar, consider a group buy of miners, get your friends involved. If you are going down the hardware miner route. If you are considering cloud mining, You need something with lifetime contract. I'd also suggest OP check electricity costs, but if his house doesn't allow for miners to be profitable to consider the possibility of housing miners somewhere else, perhaps a hosting facility.

Right??? if yes, you have many opportunityies around: here some trusted ASIC sellers: https://shop.bitmain.com/ the king of the market... search for S9, ot T9. S9 is the King of efficency. https://canaan.io/ highest quality miner, but less efficient.. http://miner.ebang.com.cn/en/index.html is a rookie in the ASIC market, but seems E9 have good quality Title: Re: Antminer or else? Post by: Sinone on April 27, 2017, 12:42:51 AM Thanks for all the comments guys, I am new into the mining for sure...
Now my expenses are varied, I have the chance to use solar panels for such a use and I am willing to get just ant-miner equipment. Recently - few hours ago.. http://www.antbleed.com/ refuse and shut down miners. Well I need to know how bad that is or if could be fixed. Therefore If I use electricity like everyone else, the expenses for hash rate are estimated 0.15 per hash rate. I am not sure how to estimate the whole package of ant-miner S9 even though I tried but I think if I don't try it I will never know. Lastly power supply for ant-miner with volt protection any recommendations? Once again thanks for the responses Title: Re: Antminer or else? Post by: lottery248 on April 27, 2017, 10:17:50 AM What are your electricity costs? +1most of the cases, even if you have a power efficient working ASICs, if you get a high fee on the electricity, you are still having losses because of the electricity. if you have enough miners and feels great luck, the solo mining is recommended because i believe its XV is good for you to mine the bitcoin yourself, or if your pool has a higher frequency to get the block reward, it is as well a good choice. |
