Antminer S17 for a Third of the Store Price… Sure, Tell Me More…

An ad found on Jófogás already became suspicious just looking at the price, as the Antminer S17 today (2019.07.05) can be purchased for over 1 million forints if you want it new and not in a "well-tested" condition by someone else. We wrote to the advertiser, who in broken Hungarian readily assured us that of course the transaction would work via courier: … Read more

Mineroo.IO – BEWARE SCAMMERS

Unfortunately, I have received multiple reports that the Mineroo.IO site, despite being previously listed as a trusted partner on the ASIC Miner Value site, is in fact a scam site created to defraud people rather than serve them. Besides the fact that unfortunately Bitcoin's past has often been noisy about this whole blockchain thing … Read more

BURST Coin Mining – When CPU and GPU Are No Longer Enough

The ever-growing computing power is hard to service, and the declining demand for altcoins brings the hopeless situation where the profitability of already very expensive graphics cards, considering their power consumption, is heading toward zero. The fact that an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB model was generating $2-4 daily profit in late January-early February … Read more

Monero (XMR) Hard Fork 2018 – Is MoneroV a Scam?

Now, just a few days after the announcement of Bitmain's Antminer X3 CryptoNight algorithm ASIC machine, legitimate concerns are emerging in more and more places that by the time the machine would arrive, we could basically throw it straight in the trash. But why? 😀 Because here comes the Monero (XMR) Hard Fork, which tries to resist these … Read more

After all, CryptoNight mining – The Bitmain Antminer X3 Debuts

Just as the time came for Bitcoin when CPU and GPU mining profitability dropped to zero with the appearance of new ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), the CryptoNight algorithm is now facing a similar fate. Most people probably first heard of this algorithm in Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency mining, which was created by Bytecoin (BCN) or … Read more

DragonMint a huge scam or what is this?

[et_pb_section bb_built="1"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text] There has been a lot of talk recently about how graphics card mining will also slowly but surely come to an end since special ASIC mining machines are coming that don't only know the SHA256 algorithm. Perhaps the first major manufacturer was Bitmain, who first brought ASIC machines to market. However, there are numerous challengers ... Read more

Bitmain AntMiner Antminer V9 or the S7 Repackaged with 4 TeraHash Speed

The Bitmain AntMiner A3 is a mining machine using the Blake(2b) algorithm with which we can mine Siacoin at 815 GigaHash/second speed. To operate the machine, we need at least a 1600W power supply, or the best and simplest option is … Read more

Mining Machines Can Even Be Fire Hazards

[et_pb_section bb_built="1"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.0.101" background_layout="light"] A few days ago, overnight I had to throw two cables that seemed perfectly fine into the trash because they simply burned out. Due to the video card's power supply cutting off, apart from the disconnected video card, fortunately nothing else happened in the middle of the night, of course. What's certain is that while building mining rigs, you definitely need to pay attention ... Read more

Mining Rig: Should We Choose an Intel or AMD Processor?

Fundamentally, it doesn't really matter which platform we choose if we're talking about a home environment. The most important thing is to decide whether we're brand loyal or what experience we have with the given manufacturer's products. One thing is certain: it matters whether we pocket $1 profit monthly, daily, or hourly thanks to the main processing unit, the processor. The home product line's main … Read more
