Hello guy's i was thinking of getting an antminer s5 for my new mining website , since the guy's here told me antminer r1 is useless and dosen't mine much , can anybody give me the power consumption for 2 months and the daily profit it produces , thanks in advance.
the s5 is great if you have no idea what you are doing and want to get started with the basics without spending a lot of money.. they use about 600 watts.. can be ran off a 750 watt power supply.. and can probably be found for less than 50$..
the problem is, you wont make any money with them if you pay anything at all for power..
the good news is, they do make ok heaters.. i have 2 of them in my shed i keep running at 150m (which is clocked under half) to keep the moisture out. i used to have a 500 watt heater in there.. so its win/win.
i have them mining on an altcoin pool..
you should do some research.. if you think you are going to plug in a miner and start earning a paycheck you are sorely mistaken.
