How much do you know about ASICs for Ethereum and Monero?

The first article introduced the entire mining industry and received a lot of feedback from mining enthusiasts. Many people asked whether mining had been affected in China or other parts of the world.

Sanpao’s view is that existence is reasonable. Investment is bound to have risks, including some systemic risks. However, from the perspective of consensus, consensus is reasonable. Reducing consensus or dispersing consensus are all within a reasonable range.

After I published an article yesterday, it was revealed that many of my friends are miners. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone. Okay, let’s continue with the content today. Today I will talk about the ASIC mining machines of Ethereum and Monero, which you may be relatively concerned about.

1. Ethereum ASIC Miner - E3

Everyone is particularly concerned about the recent ASCI mining machine. Well, today I will tell you about the latest Ethereum mining machine.

In fact, the official name is E3, with a hashrate of 180MH/s and a price of 800 USD. The power consumption is 800W. It is not the 600 that was scary before! Well, the hashrate of this thing is actually equivalent to 6 570 cards (30X6). The power consumption of 800W is nothing, 6 1060 cards are about 800W (after reducing the core frequency), and 6 580 cards after flashing the BIOS to limit the core movie power consumption is only about 900 watts (anyway, no one is dual mining now.) There are no scary parameters.

But a reader said it right, the price is only half, half! This means the payback time is only half!

For all the mining friends, let's do some calculations. Spark shows that 100 hashrates can earn 0.00818 ETH per day. Calculated at 0.5 cents per point, it is 9.6 electricity bill per day. The daily income is about 0.014724, the ETH price is 3195, and the income is 47.04. The daily gross income is 37.44. The 800 USD machine is about 5000 RMB. It only takes 134 days to get back the investment.

Isn’t it explosive!

But wait, Sanpao found out that the product will be available after July, and the current price has been hyped up to 12,000+, so I think that old miners who have already made their money back should just keep mining and hoarding coins. New miners, eat and drink as you like, and make your money back as soon as possible.

2. Monero ASIC Miner - X3

Regarding the Monero ASCI mining machine, it’s interesting. The Monero community has forked, and some places have seen buy one get a few free…

After the fork, the one that continued to be mined was called XMC-Monero CLASSIC http://monero-classic.org/. Doesn’t it look like ETC? Anyway, a bunch of people were playing XMC.

If you understand, it's like ETC. You can play with it if you like. Anyway, you have to mine anything early. Buy one and get a few free for X3. It is suitable for miners who like excitement. Now that it's exciting, I won't count the returns here. What you are playing is faith.

It is worth mentioning that GATE.IO and HITBTC have already opened trading pairs for XMC.
