In 2023, is it suitable to use miners to mine or buy coins?

In 2023, is it suitable to use miners to mine or buy coins? In recent years, with the increasing popularity of blockchain technology and the rapid development of digital currency, more and more people have joined the team of mining and buying of coins. In 2023, for most people, choosing to use a miner to mine or buy coins will be a critical decision. Advantages and disadvantages of miners High power consumption, high cost, and high technical requirements are the salient features of miners' mining. But at the same time, miners also have a stable income from mining and have the advantage of controlling the speed of block verification. Here are a few viable Bitcoin miners and their profitability in 2023. Antminer S19 Pro is a miner produced by Bitmain , which is very popular in the market. It is equipped with 114 BM1398 ASIC chips , which can achieve a faster and more stable mining experience. It is estimated that the average daily income of this type of miner in 2023 will exceed 120

How to troubleshoot the fault of the miner?

How to troubleshoot the fault of the miner?

If a miner fails, the problem may be in the network, pool, firmware, control board, hash board, etc., so to determine the exact cause of the problem, you can do the following:

·Check the data cable connection: 

Check whether all the data cables on the miner are plugged in tightly. Specifically, the three data wires connect to the hash board (and the fan's data wire). They may come loose during transport.

·Check the connection of the PSU:

Check that the power supply is connected correctly. Ensure all 6PIN data cables of the power supply are plugged into the miner tightly.
Some mining machines have their integrated power supply, such as Antminer S15, Antminer D5, etc. Please check whether the connecting copper bars on the miner are firmly inserted.

·Check network connection: 

Check your home network, mining pool, make sure all networks are working well.

·Check other devices on the network: 

Check if other devices in the background take your miner's IP address? Try unplugging all other devices in the network (e.g., if you have multiple other miners) to run only this miner.
Or change Internet Explorer ​when trying to log into the miner's configuration page.

·Replacing the network for the miner:

Try changing the miner's router or moving the miner to another place.
Switch to another pool.

·Check the miner:

Shake the miner lightly and see if you hear the radiator or parts falling.

·Check the PSU:

Is your PSU working fine? If you bought an Antminer 1600w PSU (APW3-12-1600-B2) for the miner, please ensure the voltage is stable. The working voltage of this power supply should be >= 205V (for Antminer APW3++ power supply, the working voltage is 110V-220V, that is, 200V-240V is 1600W, and 100V-140V is 1200W). If your voltage is unstable, the PSU may stop working (or only the fans work and no power output).

·Replace the data cable:

Generally, there are three data cables on the miner, which respectively connect the three hash boards to the control board. Replace these cables and see if that fixes the problem.

·Replace the control board:

Remove the control board from a working miner and use it on a non-working miner to see if everything works. On the top of the miner, there is a silver cover that is screwed on, and the control board is inside:
Antminer S5/S7: There is a black block on top of the green board; you should swap the whole part (green board + black block);
Antminer S9/T9/R4: There is only one green board, which is the control board;
the control board of-Antminer S9
the control board of-Antminer R4
Take out the screw on the silver cover, remove it, and check whether the control board is loose. If it is loose, it is recommended to replace it with a new control board for debugging.

·Determining Hash Board Failure:

Disconnect the data cable connecting the hash boards and run only one hash board at a time. This is to determine if each hash board works independently.
For more miner failures, refer to ASIC Miner Troubleshooting.

How to repair antminer T17 Hashboard and repair guide manual download

How to repair antminer T17 Hashboard and repair guide manual download This version contains the basic circuit schematic diagram and chip signal direction and voltage introduction We currently publish in Chinese and the English version will be released soon Basic overview: Antminer T17 single hash board uses a total of 30 hash chips, the model is "BM1397", and the signal direction is sequentially transmitted from U1 to U30. Signal direction: "CLK / CO / BO / RST", transferred from U1 to U30, "RI" is transferred from U30 to U1 It also passes 5 test points for testing and maintenance The five test points are: CLK-CO-RI-BO-RST (Please note: The location of the test points in different voltage domains are also different, please refer to the picture notes) For notes and instructions on the test points, please see the following articles: The whole board has 30 chips, divided into 10 voltage domains, and each voltage domain contains 3 chips For the description of

How to repair ASIC miner hash board

How to repair ASIC miner hash board Important parts of ASIC miners – Hash board One  ASIC miner consists of 3 to 5 Hash board, a control board, a casing, and software, among which the Hash board are easiest  to broken. because the ASIC bitcoin miner hash board consists of many serially connected ASIC chips. When they work, they will be in a high-temperature environment for a long time. In this environment, it is easy to burn the chip or scatter the solder due to high temperature which makes the hash board or the mining machine unable to work and no hash rate. How to quickly detective which chips broken it’s the most important when we repairing ASIC miners The Antminer chips fixture fast efficient and easy to use Bitmain Antminer repair inspection tool The ASIC bitcoin miner hash board consists of many serially connected ASIC chips.

How to test the voltage and ground value of the power supply unit of the Antminer S9 hash board?

How to test the voltage and ground value of the power supply unit of the Antminer S9 hash board? Antminer S9 hash board Antminer S9 hash board power supply unit Voltage and ground value test of Antminer S9 power supply unit 12V voltage test Test method: adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear; the red test lead is placed on the positive pole of the power interface of the hash board, and the black test lead is placed on the negative pole of the power interface. PIC chip voltage test There is a white dot next to the PIC chip, which is 1st Pin. Test method : Adjust the Fluke 15B+ multimeter to the DC gear, measure whether the 1st Pin of the PIC chip has output, and the normal voltage is about 3.3V. If there is no 3.3V, please check the connection status of the hash board test line to see if the hash board is normal; if not, you need to re-program the PIC. MOS tube voltage test There is a black dot on the MOS tube, which is the 1st Pin (Figure 1). This is because the voltage of t
