 what's up ladies and gents and welcome back to the tech cash house so if you like this content feel free to leave a like share and subscribe and hit that little notification button below to receive an update every single time the tech cash house uploads another REO alright ladies and gents so welcome back to what I hope will be a pretty informative video so this video will be covering Bitcoin mining in the month of December of course the year is 2017 the price of Bitcoin recently I should say has been fluctuating not too much but it's been kind of on a bullish pull and I do believe that it'll actually become bearish maybe at least for a little a little while and then it'll probably pull back bullish if I had to guess but as you can see here indicating with these charts the price of Bitcoin is kind of fluctuating a bit more than people would like to see in the past day or two however overall the performance is really quite good over the past three months or so and the price of Bitcoin really determines the profitability of mining so if you're watching this video per coin obviously that's going to be a little bit different and it will skew values keep in mind that why I'm making this video the value of Bitcoin is coin so in the future of the price of that could also make a difference also please keep in mind that Bitcoin miners are extremely hot if you have them in a small dorm room or in a small confined space it's going to get toasty and you might regret putting it in there so if you have a cold garage or even a cold basement somewhere where you don't mind having a bit of excess heat a Bitcoin miner is really best suited to that sort of environment anyway but I would definitely not recommend putting a Bitcoin miner on top of radiator or any other hot surface also please keep in mind that Bitcoin miners are loud they sound like a large box van running 24/7 so if you live in a small area and want to have your Bitcoin miner under your bed for example please keep in mind that it's going to be loud and hot if you don't mind the volume then you know that's good but please please keep this in mind if you've never experienced a Bitcoin miner they are extremely loud also for these calculations I'll be considering powered to cost 13 cents per kilowatt-hour pretty much the average for the United States when all things are considered including transfer fees and other expenses however take a minute to look at this map and actually see where you live and see how power costs actually affect you more specifically and then I've also included a map of Europe so if you want to take a minute to look at this that's also not a bad idea kind of to gauge how power costs affect you but like I said for this video all the tests that will be running are actually measured at 13 cents per kilowatt hour also the pool fees for this video will be calculated at a flat rate of 0.5% so let's go ahead and start things out with the a monitor you want now I've made a lot of videos about the a minor u1 so if you want to skip the first few minutes of this video please feel free and skip ahead to the more power intensive miners so the hash rate for the u1 is 1 point 8 gigatons per second it uses 2 watts of power 13 cents per kilowatt hour pool fees 0.5% and the hardware cost here is actually about 46 USD per miner so as you can see here the profit per year using an ant miner you one would actually be a loss of one dollar and six cents not really worth your while moving along we have the ant miner you - now this mines at 2 Giga hashes per second it uses 2 watts of power 13 cents per kilowatt hour and costs roughly 76 USD for one-liner so using an ant miner you - you'd actually lose about 92 cents per year once again really not worth your while so one of the other lesser miners on the list the grid seed orb actually mines at 11 Giga hashes per second uses 52 watts of power at 13 cents per kilowatt-hour and the hardware cost for the grid seed orb is about 60 US dollars so unfortunately the grid seed orb would lose you about fifty one dollars and seventy seven cents per year once again really not worth your while now let's move on to the slightly more efficient miner set I think you'll find to be really more of a bang for your buck so first we have the a minor s1 mines at 180 Giga hashes per second uses 360 watts of power 13 cents per kilowatt-hour and costs about a hundred and 50 USD per miner with that being said unfortunately you would lose about two hundred and eighty eight dollars and twelve cents per year using an ant miner as one still really not power efficient to be worth your while so with that being said let's look at the a minor s3 this mines of 450 3 Giga Nashes per second uses 355 watts of power at 13 cents per kilowatt-hour the hardware costs is 260 USD so the ant miner s3 is improving a little and that you'd only lose ninety seven dollars and sixty two cents per year using this miner alright so now we're going to move on to the real meat and potatoes of this video and that is actually starting with the ant miner s7 a much more viable miner that actually has a pretty decent hash rate this mines at four thousand seven hundred and thirty ganaches per second uses sixteen hundred watts of power with power costing thirteen cents per kilowatt-hour and the total hardware cost is eleven hundred USD so an a-minor s7 would actually earn you about thirteen hundred and seventy nine dollars and 89 cents per year in terms of annual profit which is actually getting better that's really not all that bad next we have the big bad usually extremely overpriced ant miner s9 now the s9 mines at thirteen thousand five hundred Giga hashes per second uses thirteen cents per kilowatt hour and the total hardware cost on ebay currently is around two thousand eight hundred USD pretty expensive however an ant miner s9 would earn you roughly seven thousand six hundred and fifty eight dollars per year which is really pretty darn good that means it has a break-even period of about a hundred and thirty three days which is actually pretty respectable however the ant miner s9 isn't the only serious miner to think about enter the Avalon miner 741 this mines at seventy three hundred Giga Nashes per second uses 1150 watts of power thirteen cents per kilowatt-hour the hardware cost is eighteen hundred and fifty USD that means the Avalon Minor 741 would earn you about three thousand six hundred and thirty two dollars and eleven cents per year once again this really isn't too bad so next we have the Avalon minor six this is a little less powerful but it's still a pretty good bang for your buck second uses one thousand two fifty watts of power 13 cents per kilowatt-hour and the hardware cost is roughly nine hundred USD so with this binder you'd heard about one thousand one hundred and seventy three dollars and fifty eight cents per year which is actually still pretty respectable for the initial cost of the miner last but not least we have the spawn Dooley's SP 20 ye thus mines are roughly seventeen hundred Giga hashes per second uses 1150 watts of power power costing thirteen cents per kilowatt-hour of course and the total that expensive however unfortunately the mining power isn't really enough to overcome the power costs and this miner would lose you about one hundred and fifty eight dollars and 81 cents per year well ladies and gents that wraps up another video so all things considered Bitcoin mining is really pretty profitable right now you do have to have some good miners as you can see but if you can get your hands on one of the higher-end miners on this list or in this video you'll actually be in pretty decent shape keep in mind that they are loud and they are hot but if you're ok with that then you know consider checking some of these out don't overpay for miners be aware that they might lose their value even the day after you buy them and just just take everything with a grain of salt because just be a smart consumer and honestly just keep in mind in those kryptos thank you all for watching and I'll see you all in the next video as always thank you so much for watching your viewership is greatly appreciated and we hope to see you for the next video this channel is powered by viewers like you so if you want to support the tech cash house feel free to visit our
