What virtual currencies can the Antminer S9 mine (official website of the Antminer S9)?

What virtual currencies can the Antminer S9 mine? The price of Bitcoin has skyrocketed since November 2017, from $1 to a peak of $20,000. However, with the rising cost of mining and soaring electricity bills, many investors have chosen low-power, high-efficiency models for mining.

How does the Antminer S9 work and what tasks can it perform during operation? How can you obtain profits?

By comparing it to the mining mode of the current Antminer S8:

According to the official introduction, the Antminer S9 uses Asic algorithms and consumes about 150W per T machine, effectively avoiding high energy consumption due to insufficient heat. At the same time, it also has anti-ASIC chip characteristics. The Antminer S9 uses a DAG structure (dynamic hash function), which allows it to generate extremely powerful computing power and process transactions at an extremely fast speed. As the system is equipped with specialized chips such as GPUs, it cannot be competed with. However, looking at the current market situation, this number is still quite high.

In addition to the above functions, Bitmain is also developing some features within the Antminer blockchain wallet, mainly targeting the field of virtual currency.

Antminer S9 Official Website

The official website of the Antminer S9 announced that it will be released soon.

It is reported that the S19 model uses Antminer’s 8nm chip, 30J/T power consumption ratio, and has many advantages in heat dissipation, along with the inclusion of Samsung’s 7nm chip and 12nm process technology. Furthermore, this new machine also has room for performance optimization. According to the official announcement, it is currently accepting pre-orders.

Previously, “Ant Blockchain” launched a pre-sale version of the Antminer on April 29th and is expected to be officially launched in the second quarter of 2020. “We plan to start selling S9 miners at the end of May this year, and the price will be discounted in the secondary market.”
