Hi guys, ive been watching the forum for a while but just registered today, i own some scrypt miners and i am looking to buy my first BTC miner now.
I am looking at the Bitmain S19 series, avalon 1246's and Whatsminer M30S/M31S.
I have a hard time justifying paying that extra money for a S19 series and was pretty set on buying an avalon 1246 but then, i heard that reliability may not be that good on the Avalons and seems like they are more sensible to heat....
That makes me wondering if the Whatsminers would be a good alternative?
Electricity rates where i live are at around 0.076 usd/kw
So what would you buy and why?
Any feedback from actual owners of those machines would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I gave you a merit as you placed a well thought out question in a proper format in the right section.
There are 4 sellers of etc basics that are decent
Avalon
Bitmain
Innosilicon
Whatsminer/Microbt
I own some of every one above.
I have to see bitmain tends to be able to run in the hotter rooms best
Innosilicon second best
avalon third best
whatsminer fourth place.
My sample size is 200 pieces of gear
Bitmain

L3+ yeah it is scrypt
innosilicon

bitmain has been able to run in the hottest rooms. We have heat issues when summer temps go above 95F or 38c our main mining room gets really fucking hot
Bitmain gear has had the best ability to run in really hot rooms.
Now if you can keep the room temp controlled
and keep good quality power avalon is very good.
but if your mining space it rugged bitmain should be better
note we only have 1 s19 so The sample is smaller
