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

Antminer L3++ Litecoin Miner Review

Antminer L3++ Litecoin Miner Review

L3++Antminer
At present, the Antminer L3 series includes three versions: Antminer L3 (Hash rate 250Mh/power consumption 400W), Antminer L3+ (hash rate 500Mh/power consumption 800W), Antminer L3++ (hash rate 580Mh/power consumption 942W), all use BM1485 chip.

L3 series LTC miners are also known as Scrypt miners. Besides Litecoin mining, it also works with any Scrypt-based cryptocurrency.
This time, we will review the Antminer L3++.

Unpacking photos

Antminer L3++ is packed in an industrial carton with complete logistics and storage labels and brand logos.

Install and test

The installation settings of Antminer L3++ are similar to Antminer L3+ models. It is recommended to refer to the Support - Asic Miner Manual page of ZEUS MINING's official website. After the setup is complete, the miner starts running after tens of seconds. Live status is displayed on the Miner Status page.

Performance testing

The test uses the Antminer APW3-12-1600-B2 power supply, and the conversion rate is as high as 93.5%. In this test, the indoor noise is about 39dB, and the indoor temperature is about 26°C during the day and 20°C at night.

The default frequency is 450, long-term operation, the average hash rate is about 593M, the curve is stable, and there is no apparent fluctuation.

The test power is 1040W.
power test
Overclocking concept: Each miner is slightly different according to its quality. Under the premise of stable operation, it can be increased by two to three gears each time. In our tests, the default frequency was 450, raising the third gear to 469.
overclocking options
The average hash rate after a long run is around 610M.
average hash rate
The test power is 1080W.
power consumption test
During regular operation, the fan speed is about 4300 rpm during the day, and the measured noise is about 83dB at a distance of about 20cm from the miner.
noise measure
The default setting of the fan speed is automatically adjusted according to the ambient temperature. During regular operation at low temperatures at night, the fan speed drops to about 3900 rpm, and the measured noise is about 80dB at about 20cm.

In terms of temperature, when the miner runs normally and stably, the chip temperature on the "Miner Status" page is 50-58°C. However, the measured temperature of the air inlet is 30.1°C.

The measured temperature of the air outlet is 34.6 ℃.

Generalize

·LTC Antminer L3++ is an optimized and upgraded version of L3+, and the hash rate of a single miner is increased by about 90M.
·Long-term stable operation, the measured average hash rate is about 593M, and the power is 1040w.
·There is a particular overclocking space (depending on the actual situation of each miner).
·Applicable to all cryptocurrencies using the Scrypt algorithm.
·A bit noisy, but now common for large hash rate miners.
·Good heat dissipation, the slight temperature difference between front and rear, conducive to long-term stable operation.
·The compact and robust design makes it easy to handle and is mainly used in mining farms.

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.
