Scrypt Miner

[Borgminer]

Im looking for something stronger than the Gawminer Fury(blizzard) but with about the same noise level and power usage .  Is there anything out there ?

Of course there is but this is a Bitcoin forum for Sha256 and the like.  Try here ....  litecointalk.org
Oh and by the way there has been no new Scrypt hardware since last summer.  The difficulty
jumped so high so quick manufacturers all got out and even cloudhashing sites are shutting off
scrypt mining.  Mainly in part due to lack of efficient hardware.  I would try and pick up a Gridseed Black
or A2 mini terminator as well as any X6 model from Zeus.

You will want to go to altcoin's with this.

But A2 has been king for a while now.  Once a new generations comes out it will be interesting.  It's been a while since a new chip for Scrypt.

Actually the little Gridseeds are very power efficient,7 watts per 300mh    They can be run without the fan on all of them,cept the top one when stacking about 4 high.

The problem is you need so many of them to make a decent hashrate total.You'll spend quite a bit on power supplies,barrel plug adapters/cables & USB hubs & cables.All that is overhead that eats profit

The Silverfish 28mh model was about the best I found,but the price is still pretty high ATM on them

7 watts per 300KH/s is horribly inefficient for a scrypt ASIC.

The quality of A2's is MUCH greater normally compared to SF-28.   The SF-28 also requires a computer to run it's software.  I was able to get closer to 28 with very cold air from a AC pushing at it (Keep in mind it was like a 3k miner at the time).  I believe they made a new version with better cooling (and a case).   

A2 is more efficient then the SF-28 chips though.  I would still go for it.  And in most cases all in one miner on A2.

A2 Terminator miner is the best you can buy for Scrypt mining.  They go for about $1k in the US (Amazon or Ebay).

The colder they operate the more efficient they become with power usage.  One room of mine has an A2 88Mhs and it is 26C -- power usage runs about 840 watts.  Another room has an A2 88Mhs and it is about 33C -- power usage runs about 950 watts.

there are the g-blade , or the a2 terminator(the old version was better by a long shot)

[notlist3d]

On this I would say it depends.  I personally would avoid first batch if buying (Unless shown proof of preformance).   The second batches seemed more actually lived up to spec.

[Borgminer]

wow thanks for all the info .

[Borgminer]

those machine are huge .   too much noise

[Equate]

those machine are huge .   too much noise

Noise and heat comes free with miners

LOL - definitely wouldn't be mining unless you had all the free extras!

yeah but the first batch, come with much lower power consumption

you can try to modify the pin for the fan, or just buy a bigger fan with lower cfm, and noise of course

siverfish modified version 20M / 240W , should be the best the choice right now (performace / noise level / power consuming / price).
only downside is requiring a computer to run the mining software.

Are you finding these units for $250 (or less)?  Otherwise - I don't see the advantage to this unit over an A2 Terminator.  The A2 actually uses a little less power.

[muhrohmat]

well as far as i know there only like gaw miners page for several scrypt mining porducts hardware and you can see there the descriptions Hashrates prices and consumption WAtts/hour

yes ,  you may win this product by sending your target price , it is modified , and of course it is used .

Oh - but it may or may not come with a case -- there's no PSU and there's no controller.

no , it does not comes with psu , actually no any controller available for silverfish miner but using computer to run the mining software .
