Mining
Bitmain’s upcoming Antminer KS3 ASIC miner for Kaspa (KAS) has been introduced and it boasts some loopy specs for certain, particularly in contrast to what’s already accessible in the marketplace. The hashrate of the KS3 ASIC miner is supposedly 8.3 TH/s with a 3188 Watts of energy utilization, that means a 0.38 J/GHs energy effectivity. As a comparability a single RTX 3070 GPU optimized does one thing like 600 MH/s at 90 Watts of energy used, so a single KS3 ASIC miner is the same as round 14000 Nvidia RTX 3070 GPUs when it comes to hashrate and goes to be far more energy environment friendly. With the present whole community hashrate of Kaspa (KAS) at round 1.16 PH/s at this very second, doubling it with the Antminer KS3 ASIC miners would solely take identical to 140 gadgets and Bitmain ought to be producing far more than that for certain…
There isn’t a official worth introduced but and Bitmain is operating a contest for customers to guess the value, however you possibly can count on it to be within the tens of 1000’s for certain. Bitmain plans to start out transport the KS3 miners in August, that means that you would be able to count on an enormous spike in problem round that point as the brand new machines begin logging on. There will probably be a few reductions of the block reward of KAS by that point and with the large spike within the hashrate the loopy excessive profitability of over $2500 USD per day for the time being for the KS3 ought to be a lot decrease by the point you possibly can really get your arms on a miner. Bitmain after all needs to take your cash now for the KS3.
So, FPGA mining and GPU mining for KAS will begin to fade out with ASIC miners hitting the community as it’ll turn into unprofitable for certain, even with the value rising it’ll nonetheless be unreasonable to assume that you just’d be capable to compete with considerably sooner and rather more energy environment friendly when it comes to hashrate ASIC miners. You continue to have a little bit extra time left to mine although, so don’t be fast to modify to a different coin simply but. Or use the chance to stack up on some KAS cash whereas the value is low.
