I prefer not to complicate the mining and not contact the liquid, unless absolutely necessary. At certain points, liquid cooling allows you to overclock old ASICs very strongly and earn profit at an inexpensive price of electricity. But when liquid cooling increases costs and does not increase hashrate, then it is better to refuse it.
Also another reason would be for retailers , if want to mine from home garage to get rid of noise and get some heat in winter...ha
63  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NEW Specification LEAKS Jasminer X16-P (5535MH) on: July 28, 2023, 02:07:32 PM
i would stay with scrypt/sha256 miner, the coins has support was quite enough to handle many miner compared ethash miner which is barely life
when seeing profitable fact is not eye candy number while this thing not even came out, imagine hit full market spread, the diff gonna hit roof and leaving big block of mineral  Grin
I would look at the profit, and for mining Ethereum classic there are very quiet ASICs that can be used in a house or apartment. Asics for bitcoin mining are completely unsuitable for home mining today and I have not seen quiet models for a long time.
What about the Hydro miner , of course the extra cost on Cooling radiator what will increase ROI.
But might suit in winter time to heat the house Smiley https://mineshop.eu/water-cooling-series-water-cooling-radiator/

I'm in Europe, and I thought, "Great!  I'll be able to avoid some taxes!"

So I took a look at your reputation. As a result, I'm thinking of keeping my Shenzhen contacts for ordering ASICs, and paying taxes instead, which seems less risky to me.

With this kind of reputation, and prices that I find very high, I'd rather pass.

Examples of feedbacks related to your shop :

Comprehensive MineShop Review:

They are selling FAKE delta fans , 5 fans failed just after one month of use . If you would have to RMA your product you will pay for return shipping cost. It's one man operation shop I would avoid .... ( and I'm experienced miner) have over 50 delta fans which are running for almost 2 years bought from different shop.


Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns and share the feedback from other users. Transparency and trust are essential in our industry.

Tax: While we try to provide solutions that might be beneficial tax-wise, we always advocate for following local regulations. If you're more comfortable ordering ASICs from your Shenzhen contacts and paying the necessary taxes, that's entirely your choice.

Reputation: We acknowledge that reputation is vital. While I won't discount the experience of others, it's worth noting that every business will have a mix of positive and negative reviews. We are continuously working to improve our services and to address any concerns raised by our customers.

Feedback from christophfen: It's regrettable that the hardware differed from what was ordered. We strive for accuracy in all our shipments. We take this feedback seriously and will be working to ensure such discrepancies do not occur in the future. Additionally, while our rigs are tested before being shipped to ensure they are functional, we do not use them for mining purposes. The difference in specs might have been due to an inventory mismatch, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We value all feedback as it helps us refine our services. If you have any further concerns or questions, or if you'd like more details about any aspect of our operations, please feel free to ask.
65  Bitcoin / Hardware / Choosing the Best Bitcoin ASIC Miners in 2023: A Deep Dive on: July 14, 2023, 12:00:54 PM
When it comes to Bitcoin mining, the choice of equipment can be crucial for profitability. ASIC miners, in particular, have risen to prominence in the Bitcoin mining industry due to their superior power efficiency and hashing capabilities compared to other types of mining hardware. In 2023, various ASIC miners compete for attention in the market. However, the selection process can be complicated, considering energy costs, miner prices, and efficiency ratings.

In this blog post, we are going to analyze four major Bitcoin ASIC miners available on the market:

Bitmain Antminer S19 XP 141 TH/s
Bitcoin Miner S19J Pro 122T
Whatsminer M50 120TH
Bitmain Antminer S19 90 TH/s

Bitmain Antminer S19 XP 141 TH/s
The Bitmain Antminer S19 XP is a cutting-edge miner with a hash rate of 141 TH/s. Its high hash rate makes it a power horse for Bitcoin mining, suitable for miners looking to generate a significant return, power usage is 3000watts. However, it also means that efficient machines will be most expensive per th/s, hence more considerable operational expenses in terms of energy costs. This could protentional increase your ROI time.

The key to assessing its value is to weigh the initial acquisition cost against its efficiency (watt per TH/s) and your local electricity rates. If you have access to cheaper electricity, this miner high cost could increase your (ROI time).

Bitcoin Miner S19J Pro 122T
The Bitcoin Miner S19J Pro 122T is another powerful ASIC miner from the Bitmain line. Despite its slightly lower hash rate of 122 TH/s compared to the S19 XP, it shines with its energy efficiency. This balance of power and efficiency can provide a better ROI for miners with higher electricity costs.



Whatsminer M50 120TH
Whatsminer has been known for producing reliable and efficient ASIC miners, and the M50 is no exception. With a hash rate of 120TH/s, it offers a similar performance level to the S19J Pro. However, its exact efficiency will depend on specific power usage, which might vary. It’s a solid choice for both cheap and moderately priced electricity scenarios.
Bitmain Antminer S19 90 TH/s
The Bitmain Antminer S19 90 TH/s, while offering the lowest hash rate among these miners, stands out for its cost-effectiveness. It’s a reasonable choice for those with lower electricity costs or beginners who are just starting their mining journey. However, its lower performance might require a longer timeframe to reach a positive ROI compared to the higher-end models. If your electric price is close to “ZERO” , this might be the machine of your choice as it has the cheapest price per th/s and could protentional be the fastest ROI.

 
Conclusion
Choosing the right Bitcoin ASIC miner depends largely on your specific circumstances, particularly your electricity cost. If your electricity price is low, you could opt for a miner with the best price per TH/s, like the Bitmain Antminer S19 90ths, for the fastest ROI.

If your electricity is expensive, a more efficient miner balancing watt per TH/s and price per TH/s, like the Bitcoin Miner S19J Pro 122T or s19 XP, might be the better option. Nonetheless, careful consideration of each miner’s capabilities, cost, and efficiency will help optimize your Bitcoin mining endeavor in 2023 and beyond.

Keep in mind this post is done on 14.07.2023 , crypto market changes very quickly and by the time you see this miner prices and profitability can change which could potentially affect your ROI.

With KAs miner, I need to do the calculations, but why order a new ASIC and wait for delivery, if you can mine on old ASICs now? After the launch of new ASICs, the complexity of the network should increase. In terms of energy efficiency, a new ASIC is not much better than three old ones, but in 3 months 3 old ASICs will give $ 900 profit. I consider the electricity tariff at 5 cents.
Newer Asics for new coins are the most riskiest indeed.
The higher the risk the higher potential rewards or loss.
If i had to choose which asics to mine, my biggest bet is Litecoin miners and Bitcoin miners. Not a big gambler Smiley

ASIC miners will completely replace video cards from the mining of this coin. Ethereum classic is now unprofitable to mine on video cards and the same will happen with the Kaspa coin. FPGAs will be able to compete a little, but ASICs will win this battle.

Indeed, ASIC miners tend to be more efficient and powerful than GPUs when it comes to cryptocurrency mining. They are specifically designed for this purpose and have a high hash rate per power consumption. Mining unfortunately is Getting industrialized.

Asic with characteristics 5500MH/s, 1900W in August against the well-known model on the market E9 Pro 3680MH/s, 2200W.
I think Bitmain will lower ASIC prices in August or release a new model for the Ethash algorithm at the end of the year. It's good that such ASICs did not appear during Ethereum's iining.
Feeling the Jasminer might make us age like fine wine before we see ROI, huh? 😄
[/quote]
ASICs for Ethash algorithms have several big problems. There are no good coins on this algorithm, and if the ethereum classic dies, then the asics will be useless. Bitmain will gladly trip up its competitors. I would buy asics for bitcoin or litecoin mining.
[/quote]
Exactly , my own take Asics are the only way to go currently after ETH merge. Litecoin and Bitcoin also my choice just because they are one of the oldest POW coins to mine, meaning ASIC development is so far ahead on these as new miner releases wont be as much as efficient as it would be on some newer altcoins.
Ethash also good mining Algorithm but there is no good coins to mine with it.

Look at the coin hashrate chart
https://minerstat.com/coin/kas/network-hashrate
Since March of this year, there's been a huge increase, and it's not graphics cards.
Maybe the manufacturer sells new ASICs, and dishonest resellers are mining on ASICs so as not to receive losses when the ASIC profit falls sharply and the price needs to be reduced.

Yes, I've noticed the same with my GPU mining for KAS. The spike in difficulty a few months back has definitely affected profitability. It seems like ASIC miners might be entering the game, increasing the competition.

75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / The Ultimate Guide to Antminer L7 Scrypt ASIC Miner! on: June 02, 2023, 02:11:13 PM
Antminer L7
Mining cryptocurrency is a competitive and constantly evolving industry. The profitability of mining can vary depending on various factors, such as the price of the cryptocurrency being mined, the difficulty of mining, and the cost of electricity. Therefore, before investing in a mining device like the Antminer L7, it is important to carefully consider the potential costs and risks involved​.

Antminer L7 Specifications
Manufactured by Bitmain, the Antminer L7 is a powerful mining device released in November 2021. Weighing 15,000 grams and with dimensions of 195 x 290 x 370mm, this device has a maximum hashrate of 9.5Gh/s for a power consumption of 3425W. It operates optimally at temperatures between 5 and 40 degrees Celsius and humidity levels of 5 to 95%. Furthermore, it is equipped with four fans to help with cooling and a built-in PSU​.

The Antminer L7 is designed to mine cryptocurrencies that use the Scrypt algorithm, including Dogecoin and Litecoin. It is capable of a hash rate of over 10000 mega hashes per second (MH/s) with a power consumption of 3500 watts with firmware customization, making it a highly efficient device for mining these cryptocurrencies​.

Setting Up Antminer L7
To set up your Antminer L7, you will need an Ethernet connection to connect your device to the internet. After connecting your device, you can use the provided web interface to configure and monitor your miner remotely.

In addition, to enhance the performance of your Antminer L7, consider upgrading to Hiveon’s ASIC firmware. This firmware provides several benefits, such as increased efficiency and stability, making your mining operation more profitable.



Upgrading to Hiveon’s ASIC Firmware
Before you begin the firmware upgrade, make sure you have an SD card of up to 32 GB available. The process involves downloading the L7 firmware file, formatting the SD card to FAT32 with MBR (Master Boot Record) partition scheme, and unzipping the downloaded file to copy its content to the MicroSD card.

Specifically, you will need to fill in the files in the root folder of the unzipped content, including the FARM_HASH file (with FARM_HASH from your farm settings) and the HIVE_HOST_URL file (with the API server if it is essential to replace it). Once this is done, you can insert the SD card into the control board’s slot on the Antminer L7, turn on the miner, and wait for the auto-tuning process to complete, which could take up to 2 hours.
The process of upgrading to Hiveon’s firmware involves a few steps, which I’ll outline in more detail below:

Prerequisites
Before you begin, you will need an SD card of up to 32 GB.

Downloading the Firmware
Start by downloading the archive with the L7 firmware file. You can find this file at the following URL: https://download.hiveos.farm/asic/L7/SD-L7_xilinx-Hiveon-latest.zip?
Preparing the SD Card
Once you have the SD card, you will need to format it to FAT32 with MBR (Master Boot Record) partition scheme. This can usually be done through your computer’s file explorer or disk management software​.
Unpacking the Firmware onto the SD Card
After formatting the SD card, unzip the downloaded file and copy its content to the MicroSD card. In the root folder of the unpacked files, you will find files named FARM_HASH and HIVE_HOST_URL.
FARM_HASH: In this file, insert FARM_HASH from your farm settings. This will allow the ASIC miner to connect to your specific farm on Hiveon OS.
HIVE_HOST_URL: If it is essential to replace the API server, insert the new server address here. If the file is left empty, the standard server (api.hiveos.farm) is used​.
Installing the Firmware
After you have copied the necessary files to the SD card, turn off your ASIC miner and insert the SD card into the control board’s slot.
Turn on your ASIC miner. After the miner is powered on, it will start an auto tuning process. This process might take up to 2 hours, and it’s important not to interfere with the miner and keep the devices powered on during this time to ensure a successful and error-free operation​1​.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any problems during this process or receive error statuses, reach out to the Hiveon support team. Be sure to provide a link for the specific worker that is having issues.

By following these steps, you can upgrade your Antminer L7 with Hiveon’s ASIC firmware, improving your miner’s efficiency and stability and potentially increasing your mining profits.

Remember, always make sure to check that the firmware you are installing is from a trusted source, such as the official Hiveon website. This is to protect your device from malicious software and maintain the security of your mining operation.

This firmware is Supported to all Antminer L7 Devices :

Antminer L7 8800mhs asic miner

Antminer L7 9050mhs asic miner

Antminer L7 9300mhs asic miner

Antminer L7 9500mhs asic miner

Well, you know what they say: "Mining cryptocurrencies with ASICs is a bit like buying a lottery ticket... but at least with the lottery ticket, you don't have to pay for the electricity to scratch it off!" 😂

But on a serious note, it does look like you're onto something. With the majority of KAS already mined, getting into the game late can feel like trying to win the lottery. Only in this case, the consolation prize is a huge electricity bill and a room that doubles as a sauna from all the heat those ASICs generate! 🥵💡💸
[/quote]
With such tokenomics, only those miners who receive the equipment first and have time to start mining will win. When the entire batch of ASICs is launched, the profit will die. In the meantime, it is possible that the manufacturer mines these ASICs in order to test and send these ASICs to you Smiley

[/quote]
You're right, when it comes to the tokenomics you've mentioned, the early bird does indeed get the worm, or in this case, the crypto. And you've got a point about manufacturers potentially "testing" (aka mining) the ASICs before shipping them out. That's a conspiracy theory I haven't heard since the rumors of Elvis being spotted at a blockchain conference!

The daily issue of the Caspa coin is approximately 350,000, while Litecoin has 630,000 dollars, and Dogecoin has 1,000,000 dollars.
Miners need to pay expenses and they sell some of the coins.

January 1st, 2023, approximately 15.3B KAS will have been mined (53.3%)
January 1st, 2024, approximately 21.9B KAS will have been mined (76.3%)
January 1st, 2025, approximately 25.1B KAS will have been mined (87.4%)
July 10th, 2026, about 95% of all KAS will have been mined

This robust rig is designed to operate under a wide range of power supply conditions, with AC input voltage ranging from 200-240 volts and frequency range of 47-63 Hz. The networking connection is facilitated via an RJ45 Ethernet 10/100M.

The hardware stands at a sizable 430mm x 195.5mm x 290mm without packaging, and a slightly larger 570mm x 316mm x 430mm with packaging. Despite its heavyweight performance, the KS3 itself weighs just 16.1kg (net weight), making it manageable for handling and setup.

The KS3 operates optimally at temperatures between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, and in humidity levels of 10% to 90% (non-condensing). The rig is also designed to function at altitudes of up to 2000m.

A Word of Caution
While the Antminer KS3 appears to be a promising proposition, as with any investment, it does carry certain risks. The first is the release of a newer, more efficient model. As technology evolves at a breakneck pace, ASIC miners are frequently outpaced by their successors, often resulting in decreased profitability over time.

The high price point of the KS3, currently around $50,000, also presents a significant barrier to entry. It leads to a prolonged or potentially even non-existent Return on Investment (ROI). With the possibility of competing manufacturers releasing similar performing miners like the Iceriver miner, the market could soon be flooded, diluting individual miner’s profits.

As an example, let’s consider the current daily inflation reward for the KAS coin, which is approximately $500,000. If 5,000 miners are released (which seems to be a minimum estimate), the profitability of each miner would drop from $2,000 to about $100 a day. This would push the ROI for the KS3 miner to around 500 days, assuming no changes in the market.

If we were to imagine a scenario where 10,000 miners are released into the market, profitability could potentially drop even further. In a dynamic and rapidly evolving market, it’s essential to keep in mind these considerations before making a substantial investment.

Final Thoughts
The Bitmain KAS Miner KS3 indeed brings impressive specifications to the table. However, the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrency mining and the high entry cost make it critical for potential investors to carefully evaluate the potential risks and rewards. As always, staying informed and updated with the latest trends is key to a successful and profitable mining venture.

80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum’s Shanghai Upgrade Unlocks Staking Rewards: A Bullish Sign for Markets? on: April 13, 2023, 10:38:51 AM
Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has recently undergone a major upgrade called Shanghai. This upgrade has unlocked staking rewards, which many people believe is a bullish sign for the markets, despite what some may think.

At first glance, one might assume that unlocking staking rewards would cause people to withdraw their coins immediately, leading to a bearish market. However, this assumption overlooks the fact that many people who stake their coins do not plan on immediately unlocking them. Instead, they use staking providers like Lido and Rocket Pool to gain liquidity even before their coins are unlocked on the main chain.

The Shanghai upgrade has been a success, and it could lead to an increase in the total number of staking coins. People who previously hesitated to stake their coins due to the fear of not being able to unlock them may now feel more confident in doing so. This increased staking activity could be a positive sign for the markets, as it demonstrates a greater commitment to the Ethereum ecosystem.

Furthermore, the Shanghai upgrade has introduced several other improvements to the Ethereum network, such as reducing the gas fees required for transactions. This reduction in fees is another positive sign for the Ethereum market, as it makes the network more accessible to a wider range of users.

In conclusion, the Shanghai upgrade is an exciting development for the Ethereum community. The unlocking of staking rewards may seem like a bearish signal at first, but it actually represents a greater level of confidence in the Ethereum ecosystem. The success of this upgrade could lead to increased staking activity and a more accessible network, which could ultimately lead to a more bullish market.

It’s worth noting that Ethereum made a significant change back in September 2022 when it switched from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS). This change means that Ethereum is now a stake coin, which has several advantages over PoW coins. For example, PoS is more energy-efficient and can handle a greater number of transactions. Additionally, with PoS, stakers have a greater say in the governance of the network.

Most popular ETHASH Asic miners :

Antminer E9 pro
IPOLLO V1 MINI 300 mhs
JASMINER X4-Q 1040MH 370w

As a result of this change, some popular ETHASH ASICs are no longer able to mine Ethereum, but they can still mine other coins like ETC and ETHW. This change has led to some shifts in the mining landscape, but overall, it has been a positive move for Ethereum. The shift to PoS has been in the works for several years, and it represents a significant step forward for the network.
