Actual power consumption of core miner
At present, the mining machines in the market are mainly divided into two categories, one is PC based mining machine, the other is professional mining machine based on ASIC chip
the general PC mining machine can be used as a home computer, but the CPU performance is weak and the power consumption is high. Professional mining machine based on ASIC chip can not be used as ordinary computer because it has no graphics card and does not support mainstream desktop operating system
extended data:
mining machine is one of the ways to obtain bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency proced by open source P2P software. It doesn't rely on a specific currency institution to issue, but is generated by a large number of calculations of a specific algorithm. It uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions economically. The decentralized nature of P2P and the algorithm itself can ensure that the currency value cannot be manipulated by mass proction
any computer can become a mining machine, but the profit will be relatively low, and there may not be one in ten years. Many companies have developed professional mining machines, which are equipped with special mining crystal. They are tens or hundreds of times higher than ordinary computers
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. The mining machine composed of many graphics cards, even if it is just a garbage card like hd6770, can surpass the single graphics card of most users in terms of computing power
and this is not the most terrible. Some mining machines are made up of more such graphics card arrays. When dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards come together, the graphics card itself costs money. Considering the hardware price and other costs, there are considerable expenses in mining
in addition to the display card burning machine, some ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) professional mining machines are also put into the battlefield. ASIC is specially designed for hash operation. Although the performance may not be able to kill the display card in seconds, it is already quite strong. Moreover, because their power consumption is far lower than that of the display card, it is easier to form scale and the electricity cost is also lower, It is difficult to compete with these excavators. And this kind of machine will be more expensive
the power consumption of bitcoin mining machines is different according to different machines take Shenma 68T, the fastest mining machine in wet season, as an example. Suppose that the electricity charge is 0.22 per kilowatt hour in half a year in wet season and 0.34 per kilowatt hour in dry season, the wall power consumption of Shenma 68T's second-hand machine is 3264w, and the actual power consumption is 3500W, then the daily power consumption of a Shenma M20S 68T machine is 3.524 = 84 degrees, Annual power consumption 84 * 365 = 30660 degrees
according to the latest mining difficulty, a Shenma 68T machine can dig 0.00064836 BTC a day, and 10 machines can dig 2.366514 coins a year. The mining difficulty of the premise remains unchanged, but according to the current situation, it is assumed that the mining difficulty will increase by 30% from now to next June, and by 2.5% every month. It is estimated that 85% of the original coins should be g, that is, 2.012 coins. Ten machines of Shenma 68T can dig almost 2 coins a year
to sum up, the power consumption of ten Shenma 68T machines in a year is 306600 kwh, which can dig almost two coins

the risk of mining machine
1. Hardware expenditure
< P > mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. Some mining machines are composed of more such graphics card arrays. With tens or even hundreds of graphics cards, the hardware price and other costs are very high, There is considerable expenditure in miningin addition to the display card burning machines, some ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) professional mining machines are also put into the battlefield. ASIC is specially designed for hash operation, and the computing power is quite strong. Moreover, because their power consumption is far lower than that of the display card, they are easier to form scale, and the power cost is also lower. It is difficult for single chip display to compete with these mining machines, This kind of machine costs more
2. Currency security
the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but the frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin
3. System risk
system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income. However, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners
for example, the power of an ant V9 mining machine 4T is 1.05kW, 20kW can drive 19 mining machines
the power of an ant T9 + miner is 1.45kw, 20kW can take 13
the power of a Shenma mining machine is 2.1kw, 20kW can take 9 sets
according to the different power of mining machines, the number of mining machines that can be carried is also different
the above mining machine power data comes from bitfan website

you can think of sending the intercepted URL short message, and then provide the specific location to intercept
1) ant S3 miner, I saw several comments from friends in the Forum
the official power consumption is 332w, and businesses usually report 355w
the actual power consumption is about 390W
2) your power supply is rated at 500W, which is basically 400W after decting the conversion loss
theoretically, it should be able to drive,
however, for the consideration of long-term stability, the miner generally requires higher power supply when designing
the fault tolerance between 390W and 400W is less
therefore, we all use 600W rated power supply in the forum and online evaluation
(Rated 600, not the highest 600)
the stability of mining machine is very important. A stable and suitable power supply will definitely save you a lot of trouble in the future
