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...

For 2018, cryptocurrencies have significantly lost in value, but ASIC mining has not deceased and miners are ready to continue making transactions and receiving a reward for generating blocks. In 2018, several interesting devices with increased hash rates were released. The top-end ones can process from 28 to 76 trillion hashes per second (TH/s). Moreover, many ASIC miners can be ordered directly from the manufacturer. Best miners on SHA-256 for 2019 The main trend of ASICs last year was the tr...

When NVIDIA announced its updated Super RTX graphics cards earlier this month, the focus was on the "mid-range" RTX 2060 Super and 2070 Super devices. For just $399 and $499, the company offered significantly higher speeds than their predecessors, both models not inferior to the latest AMD Radeon. However, there is still a video card RTX 2080 Super, which is an analog of RTX 2080 at a price of $799. Based on her specs alone, the device didn't seem like a huge leap forward. And this is confirmed...

Innosilicon was primarily involved in the production of components for electronic tools. However, the enthusiasm triggered by the emergence of ASICS in the digital market provoked the company's management to switch to the production of a novel category of miners and it was the correct choice. As a result, Innosilicon has taken a top position among the equipment, which produces virtual assets. The unimaginable pace of growth of the corporation has been repetitively noted by analytical organizati...

There is some good news for those who are now using ASICs with video cards— their equipment can be given a "second life" via extending life in a dust-free setting and overclocking. What miner model is appropriate for mining? The...

A new line of graphics accelerators GeForce RTX 20 based on the architecture of Turing, pleased both miners and gamers with its functionality. But the use of new technologies has led to a rise in the cost of the production process, which affected the cost of top models. The budget segment of GPU devices based on the new architecture is represented by NVIDIA GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti. Technical parameters Judging by the marking, the cards are released to replace the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, let's see how...

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. ...

As said by asicminervalue.com for SHA-256 at present, most mining equipment operates at a loss or with minor return. Perhaps immersion cooling may change this state of affairs. Ebang E11++ This miner can bring about 6.86 USD per day with a five-cent outlet and a bitcoin rate of roughly 5 thousand dollars. Hashrate is - 44Th/s with the energy consumption of 1980 watts.

Proof of Stake has become fashionable. Towards the tail end of 2019, a growing number of crypto-exchanges and platforms added support for proof-of-stake (PoS) tokens, as well as for staking services that invest PoS crypto on the behalf of users.
