I want to gather information for a thread, what is the cheapest Bitcoin ASIC Miner and what KWH does it use.

You can also help with that of average, one that can run in an apartment.

You need to narrow down your question. Miners range from ones giving ~500GHS pulling only 15W that cost just $100 to those producing far more speed, pull more power with a far higher price.

I would argue the 1tb bitaxe is good.

The ones from ~ 6-10THS, pulling a minimum 50W, that cost within $100-$200

Too small, waste of energy.

The ones from ~ 6-10THS, pulling a minimum 50W, that cost within $100-$200, possible for that range?

No 6 th pulls 50 watts

Think 12-15 watts a th.

So maybe you can find a 6th unit at  85-100 watts ? I do know of any that exist.

As for a 10th at 50 watts also does not exist.

A 10th at 140 watts maybe. But it will be 850 dollars.


https://www.futurebit.io/apollo-3.

This is a 13 watt miner.

10-18th

And cost way more than you want.


Basically your gear simply does not exist.

The cheapest would be a broken antminer S5 that doesn't work and consumes 0 kWh a year.

Cheapest is a broad term, cheapest per TH? cheapest entire miner? with no specific information you will not get the correct answer you are looking for.

As for running them in the apartment, what is the restriction here? noise? power? space?
