With the birth of bitcoin, the controversy about itself has never ended. Everyone has its own opinions on bitcoin.
We introduced what was mining in the last issue and many people are eager to have a try! Take your time and let’s learn what’s difference between mining pools and mining farms since many newbies often get confused about them.
As we all know that the era of mining bitcoin with PC has gone. As the mining has got more and more difficult, the workers using PC for mining has been unable to compete with those using professional miners (AISC miner).
If you are interested in mining some altcoins with your idle PC, then you need to read this article very carefully. Nowadays there are still some cryptocurrencies which can be mined with PCs and the most popular three are introduced as follows.
As the joint maintainers (mining workers) of Ethereum, AE, Beam, Grin and other cryptocurrencies, the GPU should be known as the most important hardware for the mining workers.
In daily community discussions, many beginners often discuss the performances of GPU based on different models. In most cases, the GPU models can precisely reflect their different performances. Based on the models, we can easily understand which GPU has more computing capability.
Now, we’d like to take Nvidia as the example to get started about what we can learn from the model numbers.
The last article introduced what we can learn from the model numbers of graphics cards. Since 2017, the cryptocurrency market has undergone earth-shaking changes, such as new currencies, new algorithms and the markets changing from bull to bear, but more importantly, it’s the new graphics cards appearing in the market.
This article will introduce the five Nvidia graphics cards launched in 2018-2019 which are most suitable for mining with the best cost performance.
After a short period of callbacks, the cryptocurrency market has continued to heat up recently and the mining market is presenting a booming situation! Here we specially share with our tutorial as well as experience on the assembling of GPU miner.
As we all know that a miner is usually assembled with 6-8 medium and high-end graphics cards. Recently, BIOSTAR launched the TB250BTC PRO mainboard supporting 12-card mining. However, the miner assembled with 6 cards has already made some newbies feel headache, not to mention the 12-card miner.
We once introduced the general assembly method of some GPU miners (please refer to: How to Assemble Your Own Mining Rigs with Eight Graphics Cards). This article will briefly introduce the assembly of 12-card miner.
Recently, Canaan released the second-generation 16nm Avalon series bitcoin miner A10. Now, after receiving the prototype of Avalon A10, EastShore will bring you the evaluation as follows.
This tutorial is intended for the Antminer Z11 which is a zcash miner manufactured by BITMAIN for Equihash mining. All crypto coins based on the Equihash algorithm are supported including Zcash. It hits a hashrate of 135k Sol/s with a power consumption of 1418w for Equihash mining. It is a pioneer product for Zcash mining.
In scorching summer, not only the people but also the miners will have to endure the high temperature. We have shared the article Practical Guide for Mining Noise Control in the past to provide many practical means for the mining workers to get away from noise. Now, we’d like to discuss how to make the miners safely spend the scorching summer.
