Characteristics and comparison of the devices The record of the development of mining devices is somewhat similar to the evolution of life on Earth. Once cryptocurrency mining was carried out on Central processors at a speed of 20-30Mh/s, and modern ASIC devices can develop 50Th / s, which is about 2,000,000 times the hashrate of the first miners. More recently, Antminer S15 accelerating to 28.00 Th/s was one of the most productive miners for bitcoin mining and now the developer has announced t...

This trend has not spared the crypto industry. However, Antminer s 9 with 16-nanometer chips has been in the leaders of bitcoin mining devices for about two years, but two new models made on a more energy-efficient standard have already been created. Bitmain Antminer 28th and 23rd T15 are equipped with a 7-nanometer, can work in high-performance and eco mode. Antminer T15 and S15 features in bitcoin mining The device is not similar in appearance and settings to other miners, the company Bitman....

The very first devices on integrated circuits were created for bitcoin mining of other coins on the SHA-256 algorithm. The possibilities of these monsters of industrial mining frightened the team of cryptocurrency developers of so much that many blockchain networks began to take active measures to protect against ASICS. Fears were justified by the threat of attack 51% hungover all cryptomelane. In addition, the only obstacle to its implementation on the same Bitcoin is the price of the issue. ...

One of the most productive devices for mining of the Chinese company Bitmain is considered to be ASIC AntMiner T9+. The new version of the Bitmine T9 went on sale on January 30, 2018, becoming a direct competitor to the S9 model. The equipment works according to the SHA-256 algorithm, which allowed users to mine Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash coins with its help. You can mine other cryptocurrencies, however, in this case, the payback will be significantly lower – and, given the deterioration of the si...
