And in the near future even more powerful industrial ASICs will appear
There is always an arms race in mining. If you look at what will come out in the future, the time will never come to buy an ASIC.
This is true, but new models for Bitcoin appear once a year, and for Litecoin once every few years, if we stick to the average estimate, but ASICs for Kaspa appear every quarter and their hashrate increases greatly. Kaspa has many forks, but you shouldn’t rely too much on this when buying an ASIC.

For Kaspa seems they coming out every month Smiley
What do you think about these ASICs?
I haven’t seen new ASICs for a not very popular coin being released so quickly for a long time.
And even on the famous website https://www.asicminervalue.com/
I haven't found a similar situation. At the same time, most of the Kaspa coins have already been mined.
Yes all depends from price action if high inflation is worth it to make enough Asics they will do it. I have theory manufacturer also also pumping the price to sell then equipment at crazy high prices where manufacturing cost is actual 1% of the miner cost its sold Sad
Then this is a conspiracy with the coin developers. ASIC sellers will spend part of their profits to buy coins and raise the price. And this will increase the payback statistics of ASICs and attract new equipment buyers. But I think that this manipulation cannot last long.

Yes it depends on the size of the coin and liquidity how far the coin price can be manipulated.
What do you think about the prospect of this coin?

It is not worth. You paid 250 Kas for a firmware + heatsinks .... to make 3 or 4 kas more and this will go down for sure. So how long do you need to get this 250 Kas back? Same for purchase. $349 = 3500 Kas, how long need a KS0 to mine 3500 Coins and the difficulty increasing everyday?

Don´t buy Kas Asics, always better to buy the coins because of the increase of hashrate and this will continues. Keep in mind you can only mine Kas with this Asics

you are 100% correct! I ordered several S21's but only 1 from the jan batch. I can say, with the utmost certainty, it pulls on average 3.621 kW @ the wall. Your prediction is extremely accurate lol.

All the same - the miner averages about 204 TH/S which is solid. Hoping to be able to undervolt/underclock it for even greater efficiency (wouldn't sacrifice more than 10% HR - but if I can drop it .5-1.5 J/TH like I was able with my 19K Pros - i'll be happy.

philipma1957,how are the apartments connected to the electrical network?
In Russia, in a private house, you can connect 2 wires as standard: phase (hot) and ground, and then the house will have standard 220 volts.
But you can also connect 4 wires, these are 3 phase (hot) and ground, and have 380 volts and 220 volts.
380 volts can be used for powerful electrically heating boilers, a personal workshop with professional woodworking machines, and anything else.
But there is a secret here: limiters are not installed on a 220 volt connection, but consumption limiters are installed on a 380 volt connection so that there is no production in a private home. But for a bribe, a local electrician will replace these limiters  Smiley

But in an apartment, as a rule, there is only 220 volts, although you can connect 380 volts, for example, for a bathhouse in an apartment, but you need to pay for the project and connection, but this is a rare case.
Bitmain website is complete BS , they say the lower the ambient temperature the lower the power usage .
Newer got anything under 3900w @ 200ths even 5c ambient temp in my unit.
Low power mode is good efficiency, but you will be buying miner 200ths timer price per ths . They want to look much cheaper but actually they dont.
Think Whatsminer has done a better job on their M60s

Have you seen the new power connector for new Bitmain S21 ASICs?
I hope the cable comes with the ASIC.



Why is Bitmain inventing new connectors? New ASICs have the same power as the old s19 series. If you lose such a cable, you won’t be able to quickly buy it in a store.

no i think they are a 3500 watt miner.

which is not the same as the s19 series.

below is the highest power s19 3247 watts

https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020230626114337330962EtM9r0640

so 253 watts more.


after running a lot of antminers I know some are better and some are worse.

So a rated 3500 watt unit will sometimes do 3650 watts.

Absolutely, we got and Sample unit few days ago and couldn't get nowhere near 3500w Cheesy @200ths.
Power usage 3800-3900w.
Best Efficiency got on low power mode 160 th/s @ 2600w what is 16.4 j/ths which very efficient
