Asic-miner Bitmain Antminer Z9 42ksol/s

For many years, the Chinese company Bitmain has been a leader in the production of cryptocurrency mining equipment. Antminer Z9 mini has become the latest product on the market. The device is ideal for those who want to mine ZCash coins. Besides, the Equihash algorithm, which the device uses, can be used to mine such digital currencies as: Hush, ZClassic, Zencash, Bitcoin Gold, and Komodo. In this brief review, we will consider the main characteristics of the device, its features, and calculate the profit it can bring to users. Main technical characteristics

• algorithm – Equihash;
• hash rate – 42 ksol/s;
• energy consumption – 1150W;
• voltage – 11.6-13 V;
• product weight is 3.5 kilograms;
• operating temperature range – from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius;
• permissible humidity percentage – 5-95% HR;
• connection to the network via Ethernet;
• noise level – 55 dB;
• overall dimensions: 206*124*155 mm.

In the standard specifications, the declared computing power is 10 ksol/s, but in fact, at maximum overclocking, miners can expect a hashrate of up to 14 ksol/s. But you should understand that with an increase in this indicator, the power consumption will also be higher. This Asic is much smaller in size and weight than its older brother Antminer Z9. It is designed for cryptocurrency mining at home, while the Z9 is mainly used by owners of large mining farms. The device is made of high-quality aluminum that reliably protects against mechanical damage. On the sides, the developers decided to install special fans that contribute to better cooling of the structure. This helps to avoid overheating of the device and breakdowns caused by power surges. Profitability When calculating the profitability of the Antminer Z9 mini with a maximum device overclock of 14 ksol/s, the profit margin on ZCash coin mining will be equal to $1.67 daily or $50.23 monthly, excluding electricity costs.
