In the past, Ethash and Equihash based currencies claimed them to be ANTI-ASIC, based on the reason that these two algorithms have certain requirements regarding RAM. However, with the development of chip and mining hardware, ASIC ming hardware for different kinds of algorithms has become a reality.
In this article, we will show the difference of ASIC and GPU hardware by disassembling and analyzing Antminer E3 and Z9.
In the past few years, the industry of cryptocurrency hardware manufacturing has been developing rapidly. A large number of new manufacturers have been stepped into the field, such as GMO Group, Halong Mining, Ebang and so on. In addition, another new player, Innosilicon, is working with Samsung’s semiconductor substitutes factory. Innosilicon launched the Terminator 2 Turbo miner, which has a hashrate of 24TH/s.
This tutorial is intended for the FusionSilicon X1 which is a Lyra2rev2 miner manufactured by FusionSilicon. The FusionSilicon X1 is a mining machine supporting the Lyra2rev2 algorithm. Theoretically, all coins based on Lyra2rev2 algorithm are supported, such as XVG, MONA, VTC. For Lyra2rev2 mining. Its hashrate is as high as 12.5GH/s, whereas the power consumption is only 1040w.
We will take FusionSilicon X1 as an example to show settings and troubleshootings which apply equally to other FusionSilicon models.
This tutorial is intended for the Innosilicon S11 SiaMaster 3.83TH Siacoin Miner which is one of the most powerful Siacoin miner of Innosilicon so far. The hashrate of the Innosilicon S11 SiaMaster is 3.8TH while the power consumption is only 1380w.

Baikal Giant-B is a miner model which supports Blake256R14/Blake256R8/Blake2B/Lbry/Pascal mining. All coins based on those algorithms are supported, such as Siacoin, lbryCoin, PascalCoin etc.. It’s 80GH with 300watt for Siacoin mining, which is very competitive. For Blake2B mining, it hits 80GH/s with a power consumption of ONLY 300w.
In this tutorial, we will show you step by step about how to set up the Baikal Giant-B.
This tutorial is intended for the Antminer A3 BLAKE2b ASIC Miner for Siacoin Mining which is a BLAKE2 miner manufactured by BITMAIN. BLAKE2 is a cryptographic hash function faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, yet is at least as secure as the latest standard SHA-3. BLAKE2 has been adopted by many projects due to its high speed, security, and simplicity. The Antminer A3 supports all the crypto coins based on the BLAKE2b algorithm, such as Siacoin.
