The T17+ has a reference power efficiency on wall of 44.0 J/TH (at And if you remember our watt calculation from above 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second. So this should give you a rough sense of profitability differences when comparing ASICs It is essentially how many shares (revenue) can the machine produce per unit of energy (cost). The efficiency of an ASIC is one of the most important specs when considering a purchase. Now is when things get a bit thicker so put on your math hat. Revenue) is dependant on your hashrate.Ī terahash (TH) is equal to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) hashes per second. If you join a PPS pool, your payout (i.e. A higher hashrate increases a miner’s opportunity of finding the next block and receiving the block reward. Hashrate is measured in hashes per second. Hash rate is the speed at which a computer is completing an operation in the cryptocurrency’s code. If each S17+ is 3kWh then the farm can host 267 machines.Ģ.5MW Transformer Being Placed Outside a Farm Hashing PowerĪ hash is the output of a hash function. Around 80% capacity factor is more realistic. However a 100% load factor is not feasible for an operation as the breakers and wires can’t usually take a continuous load. So the plant produces 365 x 24 x 1 MegaWatt hours of total power a year. The term megawatt is usually used by a farm or colocation operator to describe how large their mining operations are.Ī 1 MegaWatt farm, running at 100% capacity generates 1,000,000 watts of power per hour (or 1,000 kW/h). So to get the price of hosting a T17+ for a month just multiply its kWh (3.0) by that total ($30) to get $90 USD/Month MegaWatt (MW) So if they say “I have 4 cent power” what they mean is they pay the electricity company (or hosting facility) 4 cents USD per kWh. Specs from the Bitmain Antminer S17+ Released Dec 2019Īlmost every time you hear a miner talking about their cost they are referencing the electricity cost for a kWh. For simplicity lets assume no overclocking. So if a T17+ says it consumes 3.0 it will likely go considerably higher. Usually the ASICs specs come with a +/- 10% and seem to get overclocked their reported energy consumption pretty easily. In other words, 3.0 kWh is the amount of energy you need to run a T17+ for an hour. If you run a 3,000-watt Antminer T17+ for one hour, you’ve used 3,000 watt-hours, or 3.0 kWh. KWh is a measure of energy (Involves Power &Time).Įnergy is defined as the capacity to do work, such as hashing (mining). Sometimes total watts are also referenced as Consumption or R eference Power on Wall on platforms that are selling ASICs.
One watt is equivalent to electricity flowing at a rate of one joule per second in the metric system. Watts are a similar measurement to kilometers-per-hour as they indicate how fast electrons are travelling. Power is a measure of the rate at which energy flows.
