Canaan AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047 Available for Order

10, Oct 2019

Bitmain may have just announced its new S17+ and T17+ ASIC miners, but they are going to start shipping in December and Canaan is apparently not sleeping either. They have started taking orders for their latest AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047 with the first batch shipping in November and the second batch for December at a slghtly lower price. Canaan’s AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047 may not be as powerful and energy efficient as what Bitmain is offering, but they are also shipping earlier and at a lower price or so it seems. The top model AvalonMiner 1066 is offering 50 TH/s hashrate with 63 J/TH power efficiency or 3250W of power usage (compared to 73 TH/s with 40 J/TH and 2920W of power usage for S17+), however Canaan’s Bitcoin ASIC miner A1066 priced at $1390 USD should be at least half the price of Bitmains new top device. The slower Canaan AvalonMiner 1047 is rated at 37 TH/s with 62.5 J/TH and 2380W of power usage, compared to the 64 TH/s promised for the T17+ with 50 J/TH and 3200W of power usage. The A1047 ASIC is available for $1030 USD with November shipping while we expect to see something like double the price for Bitmain’s faster T17+. In fact Canaan’s Latest A1066 and A1047 ASIC BTC miners are closer in terms of hashrate to the current Bitmain S17 and T17, but again Bitmain is better in terms of power efficiency even for them. Nevertheless, even if not the fastest on the market, Canaan’s AvalonMiner ASICs still seem like a good alternative price/performance and availability wise…

Bitmain Announced Two New Antminer 17 Series ASIC Miners

9, Oct 2019

Bitmain has just announced two new Bitcoin ASIC miners with improved power efficiency and hashrate – Antminer S17+ and T17+ at the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) in Frankfurt today. The Antminer S17+ has a hash rate of 73 TH/s and operates with a power efficiency of 40 J/TH + 10%, while the T17+ offers a hash rate of 64 TH/s and a power efficiency of 50 J/TH + 10%. The Antminer S17+ and T17+ ​will be available for sale on Bitmain’s official website according to the following timing: pre-sales starting on 11 October 2019, 19:00 GMT+8 and deliveries starting sometime in the 01- 10 December 2019 timeframe. Pricing has not yet been revealed as well as detailed specifications, but they should become clear when the devices are listed for sale in 2 days time. The currently available Bitmain Antminer S17 is 53 TH/s hashrate with 45 J/TH efficiency (2385W) priced at $2322 USD for the next batch and the Bitmain Antminer T17 is 40 TH/s hashrate with 55 J/TH efficiency (2090W) priced at $951 USD for the next batch.

By using dual tube heat dissipation technology, the miners have been designed so that the space between the air inlet to the air outlet has been reduced by 50%, improving heat dissipation effectively as well as reducing fan noise. Besides, a high temperature and fan abnormal protection mechanism has been built in to ensure the stable and safe operation of the miners. Both Antminer S17+ and T17+ use the industry leading Exposed Die package solution and an optimized all-in-one design, making the models easily to be implemented and can adapt to mining farms of different sizes.

Hash Altcoin BlackMiner F1+ FPGA Miner Available at Reduced Price

28, Aug 2019

Hash Altcoin is probably the only user friendly FPGA miner out there that can be used by miners that are not into FPGA mining and the company also offers not only to ship the hardware to you, but also to hast it for you at very reasonable cost ($2.4 per day fixed). The company is currently running a promotion for their top product BlackMiner F1+ that is available at a price of $2450 USD, so if you are interested in giving it a try you might want to check out the offer. The miner has a large number of supported algorithms with new ones being introduced quite often with bst, c11 and bmw512 just recently added in the list of already over 20 supported ones. There is also the option to pay $999 USD upfront and 12 monthly installments of $92 USD each for the rest of the amount (make sure you take advantage of the new user registration coupon they give you and the invite code mentioned here), available only if you want a miner hosted by Hash Altcoins. You can use our invitation code ZLOZLA when ordering a miner from HashAltcoin, should you decide to, in order to get a $100 USD coupon code for your next order (can be used for electricity costs should you decide to get your miner hosted by them).

Profitability wise at the moment the miner earns in between $6 and $10 a day after you deduct electricity costs, though there are times with higher profit as well and we rarely see it dropping below $5 USD. There is a profitability calculator available on the official website that gives you an idea what coins to mine for the best profit at the moment, though you need to do some extra research for some of the listed coins as they may be a really low market cap ones. Also note that there could be some coins using the supported algorithms that are not listed and that may offer even better profit, so you might want to dig a little deeper. If you opt out for miner hosting you should know that even though the web-based miner control panel is pretty good and easy to use still going for mining some new might be a bit challenging at first if it is not available on any of the already listed pools. There are workarounds with the help of MiningRig Rentals for example if it already has support for the specific algorithm there.
