Extraction
In the last year, cryptocurrencies have lost a lot of value but bitcoin miners continue to process transactions and earn block premiums. In 2018 a lot of new mining drilling rigs have been announced that have filled a serious hashrate. At the start of the new year, some of the major devices processing between 28-76 trillion hashes per second (TH / s) can now be purchased from ASIC manufacturers and third-party vendors.

The best SHA-256 mining plants in 2019
Last year there were a ton of new mining ads. Many of the announced new devices have the next-generation 10-nanometer (nm) and 7-nm semiconductors produced by famous chip foundries such as Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Other machines were intended to offer more efficiency, a quieter sound and some of the mining platforms offered to water cooling system also. Some new releases did not go so well, like when the Japanese producer GMO Group announced "It will no longer develop, manufacture and sell mining machines." Then there was the controversial Halong Mining, a startup that was supposed to be the new emerging producer in the crypto industry. The company was accused of Innosilicon miners' rebranding and the company's website says that people who want to have new machines have to sign up for waiting list.
Then, towards the end of the year, a slew of other mining producers, some of which were reliable companies for years, also announced new machines. Now that some of the next-generation devices are available to the general public, through the manufacturer or a trusted supplier, these machines will likely increase the network considerably. The following is a preview of the first four mining machines that process large quantities of raw terahash and can be purchased today.
Ebang Ebit E11 ++
The news from last September.Bitcoin.com reported on Ebang Communication, based in China, announcing its E-E-11 series which claimed to boast hashrate speeds between 30-44 trillion hash per second (TH / s). At this time according to data from Asicminervalue.com, the miner E11 ++ is the most profitable SHA-256 miner (BCH and BTC) on the market, with a gain of $ 1.12 a day with the current bitcoin prices. When the new series was announced last year, the platforms were not available to the public at that time, but the devices can now be purchased directly from the manufacturer.
The E11 ++ miner it's $ 2,024 and the next batch of E11 series units will be delivered by March 2019. The machines boast a 10 nm DWn1228 chip with an ideal hahrato of around 44 TH / s. Furthermore, both the electrical consumption of the E11 + and E11 ++ machines attract around 1980-2035W from the wall. So far the miner has consistently been the best car in the world to earn daily profits since it was announced, but it may not be the case in March. The two lower-level machines of the company that process 30-37 TH / s are currently sold out.
Asicminer 8 Nano
The Asicminer 8 Nano is another rig that extracts the SHA-256 algorithm to 44 trillion hashes per second. However, the difference between the 8nm-equipped miner and Ebang's E11 ++ is that the latter consumes around 2100W of power. Because of this difference, Asicminer 8 Nano processes 44 TH / s, but currently requires around $ 0.75 per day of profits. The Asicminer company claims that the machine boasts 189 8nm customized AM0813 chips and processes approximately "16384 hash cores on a single die".
The Nano 8 is cheaper than the Ebang device, at $ 1,790 per unit, but is much larger than the average car produced today. The Nano 8 weighs about 60 pounds and measures approximately 500 x 500 x 235 mm. The fans of the car also radiate a red neon glow and the device is equipped with a silent water cooling system. Customers can buy machines today and the site says that at the moment there are only 48 machines. Since the miner was released last October, the units have been sent to some customers and there are various 8 Nano reviews on Youtube and other forums.
Innosilicon Terminator 3 (T3)
Innosilicon has done well in the last year with its mining drilling rigs powered by Samsung's low-power semiconductor technology at 10nm. The Model Terminator 3, otherwise known as T3, it can also be purchased and the first batch of shipments should be delivered by the end of January. The T3 specification states that the machine will be extracted at 43 TH / s with a consumption of 2100 W, giving the machine a profit of around $ 0.58 a day at current prices.
The T3 is more expensive than the 8 Nano and the E11 ++ which is currently selling for $ 2,279 per unit. The first batch of T3 is limited, explains the company's website and the second limited lot will not be delivered until March. Delivery times are "first pay, first served ", underlines Innosilicon and all the products are also" Asic Boost enabled with an appropriate license ".
Bitmain Antminer S15
The latest Bitmain Antminer product offers customers a maximum hashrate of 28 TH / s with a consumption of 1596W. L & # 39; S15 it costs $ 1,249 per unit and the first series of rigs are shipped between 11 am and 20 January. The miner has two types of mining modes and is equipped with Bitmain's custom 7nm chip. Like the Asicminer 8 Nano, the S15 does not resemble the average miner as it uses a parallel fan to improve heat dissipation efficiency.
Currently, based on data from Asicminervalue.com, with current BTC and BCH prices, the S15 benefits from $ 0.15 per day. Bitmain is also selling a lower-level S15 that produces 1 less terahash at 27 TH / s and will save the customer $ 45 compared to the 28 TH / s model. Bitmain says customers using the new generation S15 7nm chips and custom semiconductor packaging technology, coupled with the new heat dissipation mechanism, miners will save on electricity costs.
Asicminer 8 Nano Pro
The Asicminer producer also has a machine called 8 Nano Pro which claims to produce as many as 76 billion hashes per second. The mega-device draws about 4000 W from the wall and costs $ 11,600 per unit. In addition, customers must purchase a minimum of five units per order. However, at current bitcoin prices, Asicminer units with 8nm custom AM0813 chips continue to earn $ 0.13 per day profit. Again, like the company's previous model, the 76 TH / s machine is enormous at 500 x 1000 x 240 mm and weighs around 150 pounds. The Nano Pro also has a quiet water cooling system, which has a noise level of around 48 decibels. However, unlike the company's 44 TH / s machine, the Pro 76 MH / s version does not seem to have worked well since there are no online retailers or reviews on this specific device.
Bitcoin mining facilities that damage profits can try to take advantage of new generation machines
So far, both BTC and BCH networks that use the SHA-256 algorithm have recorded a significant decline in the general hashrate. The current Bitcoin Core (BTC) network hashrate is about 40 exahash per second (EH / s), while the Bitcoin Cash miners (BCH) have around 1.5 EH / s today. In addition, many of the older machines that produce less hashes per second are in red these days and are seeing significant daily losses at current market prices. Even the lower-level Ebang, Bitmain and Innosilicon models that have recently been announced in the last three months do not make any profit because of depressed prices in all encryption markets. The new mining machines could provide large structures and even smaller miners have enough room to stay in the game if they can get these products on time.
