Bitmain Antminer KS5 KAS Miner 20TH

Bitmain in the first quarter of 2024 introduced a new generation of ASIC miners for Kaspa coins with hash-rate 20 and 21Th under the kHeavyHash algorithm. This description refers to the 21Th/s version and is the most powerful variation with a consumption of 3.2kW.Meet Antminer KS5 Pro KAS Miner 21Th3150w!

Specifications of the KS5 Pro 21Th Kaspa Miner ASIC:

• Release date: 1Q 2024
• Hash-rate: 21Ths
• Consumption: 3,150w
• Mining Coin: Kaspa
• Mining Algorithm: kHeavyHash

Overall, the new KS5 Pro ASIC miner with a hash rate of 21 Th/s looks impressive in terms of performance and ROI, showing almost 2.2x hash rate increase compared to the previous Antminer KS3 model with a hash rate of 9.4 Th/s. At the same time, power consumption has been reduced by 400W when compared to the previous model’s power consumption of 3,500W. Bitmain, as usual, is following the trend, releasing high-performance ASICs for mining new and promising coins. As for the kHeavyHash algorithm itself and the Kaspa coin that the KS5 Pro mines, things look pretty good. The overall difficulty, as well as the yield of the Kaspa coin, has been growing continuously for almost two years now. At the moment (February 26, 2024), the complexity of the mining network for Kaspa is 180 PH/s, which is equivalent to about 20,000 KS3 9.4 ASIC miners. Given the recent news and the growth in the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market, in particular, the main coin Bitcoin, we are expecting interesting developments related to the algorithm of the Kaspa coin. It is common knowledge that as the value of Bitcoin increases, so do the prices of other cryptocurrencies, with Kaspa being no exception. In addition, Bitcoin is expected to halve in 2024, which will force miners to look for alternative coins for mining. In this context, Kaspa could be an attractive option with promising future opportunities. At the time of writing, the value of the Kaspa coin is in the range of USD 0.1681-0.1710.
