- ASIC vs GPU mining? Which one is better? Which one is more profitable? Which one has longer staying power? We got our hands on an Antminer D3 and did a bit of testing to check out what the current ASIC market is like. While this may not be true of all ASIC miners in general, the Antminer D3 is a giant pile of wasted cash.

Hello this is the police may I help you.....
A noise complaint? Can you describe the noise? Someone left the engines running on a 747..... and you don't live next to an airport.
got one, not mine tho. living in apartment. the sound is really loud and the heat is soo hot. but there's no complain from neighbor which is good. electric cost, terrible.
i believe there might be a way to replace that noisy cooler with a passive large radiator and a very silent large cooler.( ..like 1 square meter.
diGritz1 yeah they really are that loud. I had two and tried to change the fans to something quieter...doesn’t work since the vitamin crap works on a wind tunnel concept.
Ha ha now I can't work out if your comment is relevant :)
You know what I love about Crypto Currency? The fact that this video is obsolete after just a month.
what a difference a year makes right?
@@dsan6643 and 3 years later the world is just not the same
@@RochesterOliveira hi,is this worth 300 usd in 2021?
trying to teach my dad about cryptocurrency, am going to get there eventually, hopefully
My dad finally invested in LTC not too long ago, trying to talk him in to mining, would save him on heating.
3:16 it sounded like a F1 car 😆
Basically. :D
no way it did, current F1 cars are much quieter than that.
Sounds like starting fighter jet.
Wow! Might as well work on an air field without ear cups! Although I don't mine, I do find your mining videos very entertaining!
+Anthony Pierre Appreciate it! We try to keep them light and not too deep down the mining rabbit hole since we're a tech channel, not a mining channel.
Yeah, what's up with this guy shouting?
Just change the fucking fan
Lol. Love it. I tried to peacefully coexist with Antminer S1's back in the day. Thankfully it was winter and it heated the house but it was either take a sledgehammer to kill them which they fully deserved or get out of mining and sell them for what I could get. The noise and heat ultimately drove me out of mining with ASICs. Zero versatility for using them on anything but what they were designed for and you were lucky if they ship them straight away without running the hell out of them first when they're at their highest profitability. Nightmare.
Can it run crysis????
this is a nightmare
Could I use those things to heat my house? Would that make it profitable
You need to lift some stuff with your left hand as well. Or you're gonna have a hulking right arm vs a lean left one by the time you reach 100K subs. :P
Hahah, but I'm left handed, so it's by nature, a bigger arm.
Having a girlfriend doesn't hurt too
I legit laughed when I heard the sound it makes XD It's literally like a jet engine!!
Here 2020, that thing makes $0.15/day. I bought one of these for the power supply, because I got them both for $40 and really needed a high amperage power supply. A super good deal for a 1,200watt power supply.
@HypnoBoygaming Just bought a Antminer S9j for about $434. That would make $3+/day which is actually pretty good. Along with my other miners, I'll pay it off in just 30 days.
The gullibility of the millennial generation is mind blowing!
I've been curious, what happens with ASIC miners when they are no longer useful. I think one would be interesting for research.
What about now march 2021?
I buy used miners so that I can mine with free electricity from apartment.
+Aashay Tambi Nice! Then it's definitely a better deal
UFD Tech The apartment has 12 breakers. So since 2013 I kept buying all the cheap asics and gpus. I look at hash/$ not hash/watts. I made so much buy this way.
Hey Tambi what machines do you run currently?
im sure your landlord loves you lol
+Unflushablepiss
I have some s7, s5, bunch of 290s and 290xs, 480s, 470, 280s, 580s, 980 ti, 1070s, 7970s, 7870s, i7 4770k, 6600, ryzen 1700, 9590, 370(a 4gb card that I bought for 40 with a wireless mouse, heatsink, case, and ram), some 1 dollar harddrives mining burst. Also a fury, and this funky litecoin asic miner.
I got this apartment I got just has this equipment. I pay 600 dollars a month. And have verizon gigabyte, and renters insurance.
This building is huge so they wont find out who it is.
All in all if i did this in my apartment I would be paying over 600 dollars for the electric bill alone. So this is so worth it.
Also I host other peoples equipment for a 40 dollar flat fee per device. So i got 10 other things in there so making money all day.
Peace sound! true spirituality feeling sounds from ur office!
Bought 3 d3s with psu $80 each, makes about $2 a day after electric.
So with all 3 of them you only make 2 dollars a day?
@@fitness.journeyp.b7937 each
"literally doing nothing"...
Hi Man, i'm from SA too.. Please do a Budget Gaming PC build with parts from SA :)
Nice! I can look into friend!
Exactly, yet we have reliable shops such as Wootware, Evetech with competitive brands as well :)
The ASIC miners are still profitable if you are into mining other ASIC coins as there are Exchanges that allow you to convert your coins into BTC which isn't as easy as it sounds but for some its something worth doing.
I quit mining today. It’s not worth it. I lost money. I should of spent my money on BTC or ETH. Unless you have solar and your electric bill is free.
"You whiney whiners" aaaaand UFD Tech is back to 3K subscribers. :p
Lololololol
This aged well XD
Hi , love your videos. Can you comment on all issues with D3 And if you have any fixes. I have several that do not show hash boards or are missing chips. All have the most recent firmware flashed and all connectors have been checked. One doesn't even appear in IP address search anymore. Any help from other viewers and subscribers is also greatly appreciated.Thanks, keep up the excellent work.
gpu mining is like $100 per day maximum, what good is that compared to the lifespan of your system being reduced
Is it worth it in 2021?
Hey, can you review Antminier S9 , I am from India planning to get it, but the idiotic custom duties officers in my country didn't know what they are dealing with, so they charged 33% import duty for people who bought S9, those nut jobs took the complaint to the BITMAIN and they STOPPED SHIPPING TO INDIA, is it advisable to get S9 for FEB'18 batch. ?
Thanks for uploading at 60hz it makes a huge difference liked the video
Glad you enjoy it!
In Jan. 2022 a D3 (19.3 GH/s) is earning about ~ $0.43/Day (Without electricity cost), so it’s not profitable at all, unless if you don’t pay electricity 😎.
Forget it, Home Mining equals GPU. Don't even try ASICS.
Let the big money sign the big checks...THEY will make profits.
I think we should all teach electronics to the kids through GPU mining.
Wow...you didn’t start with ASICS? Why buy the D3, and why buy any antminer brand new? Got 2 s7’s for 300 each! Annnnnd yeah compared with cloud mining it’s great, so long as you’re ok having your house sound like it was built next to an airport runway, with planes that refuse to land! My electric bill couldn’t take it. Yeah the d3 seems like a reeeeeally stupid purchase. The s9 and s7 are still preferable. Gotta say the “profitability drops” thing never happened. It stayed consistent at 15 Th/s. The best way to do this is invest in solar panels (cheap on amazon) and good storage for power (expensive everywhere).
...btw...who mines dash?! Really?!
In my opinion there are some other factors to consider and it is not a GIANT WASTE OF MONEY.
We need to consider the mindset of the person who is investing, for example I mined with made in China ASIC miners since Oct 2013 when BC was around US$200. They ranged from those thumb drive size ones (5 in one usb 3 hub etc.) to desktop size versions with hundreds of Gigahashes (they were like the ASIC Gods back in those days)
My thinking was not for a fast buck, but for the time when BC or the other alternatives reach such a disgustingly high difficulty that only tens if not hundreds of thousands of petahashes or even way above are needed to solve one block chain.
It was also for the time fast forward 4 years to 2017 (when I started in 2013) when it hit US$18,000 per BC.
Yes BC has dropped below 6000 recently and went back to 8000+. The point is short term ROI may be possible and even making a killing may be possible. BUT the advantage of the BC made from these ASIC miners lies in their value over a longer period of in my guesstimate 5 -10 years or up (give or take).
What little coins I have left after my mass sale last year, still values many times over the amount I spent on all those ASIC miners since 2013.
It is not what they can make for you now, but what that is made and how much it is worth eventually at some point of time.
On the other hand and most likely gonna get flamed for this, I agree with you totally on GPU mining.
huh an Asic miner costs $2000. A single RX Vega 64 here where I live (Canada) costs $1500-$1700. Still not convinced that if you get an Asic miner early and constantly buy/resell you couldn't make a lot of cash.
The resale value of the mining GPUs isn't really there. A lot of people don't want to buy a card that's been running at 100% nonstop for fuck knows how long, plus they may have to flash a normal BIOS just to get the card back in shape for gaming. Not only that, but if you hold onto the GPUs until something else comes along, most others will do the same, meaning the price of the new cards will drop back to where they should be, further devaluing your used card. Am I more likely to buy a used card for $250, assuming half of the inflated price, or a brand new, never used, still under warranty card for $300? I'd rather pay the extra $50 knowing that I don't need to do a bunch of work, and if something goes wrong I can just RMA and get a new card. Easier to sell than an ASIC? Yes. But still not the best thing.
What we really need are dedicated mining cards. They're starting to come out, but not quickly enough. It'd be nice if the giant mining consortiums weren't taking all of the fucking video cards.
I know this is 2 years old but I have a question, I am looking at an antminer S or D9 NIB for 60used PSU about 50 USD. with shipping about 120USD . Is it even worth that to get it? I run some gpu mining with an ancient desktop, litecoin, dogecoin, and some bitcoin, mainly just for giggles, but I am a pensioner so very limited income. Ty for your time any opinions would be great.
Not an ASIC fan but Dash is probably the worst example for mining -- you get less than half (45%) of each block's reward. A better comparison would be SHA-256 or Scrypt ASICs.
Yeah people don't buy asic , Let the big farm do it , they don't know what they are doing ... hahahah yeah ... Thanks for that video ... You know your stuff .. Showing the price on amazon instead of the real price ... great idea ... so people won't know you could buy them for 1500$ and yeah Antminer D3 are not profitable , Don't mine Cannabis coin with it , like i did , because you could make ton of money like i did . Stay on the gpu guys . This guy know his stuff ... Oh btw i was mining 6$ in Cann in october , it was 2 cent . now it's 28 cent just saying ... 6$ x 14 ...
84$ per miner , per day ... yeah this is giant waste of money ... i'm on full profit since christmas 2 month after i got the d3 ... Jeez can't believe it , if only i had listen to somebody like you , i will not have made that mistake ... lol
My best advice is buy one, test it and see for yourself .
S9 are nearly 2 years old , and still make 38$ us per days , so shelf life of 3 month my ass ...
cpu's are killed of by gpu's which are killed off by asics... and now, since bitmain is going after ALL the crypto (eventually).. you will have to buy the same # of asics in the entiretly of what isw the bitmain minging rigs.
well.. none of them will be profitable for anyone but china...... thanks bitmain for monopolizing a supposed decentralized currency.. Wow antpool pretty much has a monopoly of all Sha256 coins.. hope they go bankrupt.. or they're ruin everyones profit.. how bout we shit on them for a change and firewall of like lil Kim un the psuedo terrorist . lol
would they be good to use now there selling for 75 dollars
Pretty embarrassing that 11 lbs is too heavy for you. Try picking up a 6 or 12 card GPU rig with one hand. I think i just came up with a new rating. HPPP = Hashing power per pound. Time to hit the gym, Jake.
ASIC vs GPU mining? Which one is better? Which one is more profitable? Which one has longer staying power? We got our hands on an Antminer D3 and did a bit of testing to check out what the current ASIC market is like. While this may not be true of all ASIC miners in general, the Antminer D3 is a giant pile of wasted cash.
One of those "whining" Gamers, enjoy overpriced GPUs the higher they go the lower your profit. Also once you all sell them at once their price will drop. Welcome to the free market. Also good luck trying to find GPUs soon the memory and mining crunches on these will dwindle supply.
hello good afternoon, I write to you from venezuela I am mining with 5 gtx 1060 of 6 gb and I already have the money for the purchase of an antminer, I wanted to know if the D3 antwerp of 19.3 gh is going well for my , the electric cost is not a problem, it is free where I have my miners
Electricity rates in Quebec are 5.8canadian cent per kWh, and in winter it is very cold. Just using the miner to heat the house in winter, or the swimming pool in summer, and you would probably break even within six months!
first months when this appeared produced 8000$ a month why you call this a waste yeah now produce like nothing but this D3 produced in one month like S9 produce in one year!
Go with Bitmain S17 pro or newer. Been hosting mine at TeslaWatt facility for 4 months. Great service, great support and not expensive.
1080 ti went from 700 to 1000+. ur gonna get complaints. same with amd flagships. when ur community causes something like that u get what u get and u should just deal with it. monopolizing then telling people to stop whining is like shooting someone and saying sorry, u might mean it, but its doesnt really do anything in the end.
oor you can invest a fuckload of money and buy FPGAs. they will be universal and you'll be able to constantly tweak them at your leisure. but again, fuckload of money.
If an ASIC machine was really profitable, the company that manufactures it would be plugging them in, not selling them to others. Why sell a money-making machine for less than the amount of money it can make ?
But really....... .when you buy it, for making money.... who the fuck cares about noise or heat????
I mean... I hadn't upgraded my gpu in 8 years, got a newish one that paid for itself in six months and now I'm ahead.... a great graphics card that lets me play new games. Sounds like a win to me.
Do you even lift, BRO!? :D
+Петр Сивцев Haha, it was more the finger strength to be able to grip it with one hand. 😁
Great content as always!!! Keep it up, guys! :)
+Петр Сивцев Thanks friend! Really appreciate it !!
Can anyone explain to me: what's the point of manufacturing and selling these?
Couldn't the manufacturer just manufacture the cutting edge ASIC hardware and simply use it. Wouldn't that be more profitable?
annnnd nope, that explanation of how to set one up is exactly the reason i stay the hell away from this junk & i actually do have a PHD & i dont want a jet engine in the corner of my lab that wont ever pay for itself
I mean seriously who would try hardware mining alt coins to begin with? You will never outpace the electric costs - with BTC I was behind until it hit 5k
used amd 7950's have fast ROI. To bad more people already know this and they are all sold our selling for over 100 usd.
Where are the GPU miners now? Oh wait, making god knows how little after Ethereum difficulty went through the roof.
That noise reminded me of server racks. Those nasty 40mm fans... Oh wait that's a 120? Crap.
I heard Bitmain uses their miners to Mine Bitcoin. Then when they develop the Next Generation, they sell off their old used miners(cleaned up of course) as "Tested". So everyone is happy about having the latest tech on the market, but Bitmain is using even better Miners that are not released to the public, until they create the next generation miner. Is this true?
I personally mine with Asics in a large warehouse your not supposed to do this in a small office or home as they produce to much heat mine run about 50c also the d3 is just trash.
I still don't the point in all the crypto mining. Where is the value in that? Isn't is just some other form of printing money without something to back it up?
Its like the gods of economy played a prank on anyone with too much money yet no ambition on earning the old fashioned way to perfectly not break even in a certain amount of timeif you want a shortcut your way through life.
nowadays it is not at all profitable, however the power supply is super cheap on the second hand market.
i suppose its not very good news if you own one of these lol
damn guy please start using both of your arms o.O 80% of this video your left arm looks like it was cutted off o.O
Antminers D3 is probably the worst S9's are better Since it already uses a high hashrate mining dash made the coin price do badly.
take a breath and calm down. Its okay to talk slower and more concise Your on youtube, not the fucking television. Lol
Bought this on ebay and 4 hours later I requested to retract my purchase. Thank god they canceled the order!
Hi brother, but only statement. I want to know either the state or weather in general about these drives. Is it an advantage of ethereal mining and the best machine wich is better for mining ethereum
You look like Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle
kitsep McCascal not really
he does... except I couldn't concentrate really with A) the NOISE.. of his voice... and B) DAT NECK ZIT HOLY CRAP!
More like wallace from wallace and gromit :)
does anyone else think of the annoying orange with all his mouth mannerisms??? hes so hard to watch which i hate to say because i want to see him successful :/
Replace fans with Noctua fans. Quiet and do the job. No prob. with temperature at all.
It seems like this Bitcoin hardware and overall network could collapse on itself with the actual cost of the hardware and the power consumption.
The fans on this ASIC miner makes fans on blower style graphics cards look like a noctua fans.
Should I get s9 or mining rig with 3x gtx 1080ti and which is more profitable
I thpught this guy was 18-20 years old just to find out he is married and his wife is pregnant lol
Waste of money? Joke's on you, mine has made 600 USD since this video was posted.
Im not even mad. I look forward to buying up cards for cheap when the crash comes mid year.
If you Let me get that 1070 ti card I won't tell everyone where you got that hickey from 😏
You might be able to get a bigger fan and ducked it down to the right size and use it in the winter to replace a heater
Antminer d3 is 185 bucks on amazon.. thats expensive?
Theoretically if you didn't have to pay for electricity what is the best way to mine?
Do not watch this video with headphones on; that ASIC will hurt your ears if you do.
Hello, i have buy a D3 today, ist IT worst? Witch coin ist the best now?
Your facebook and instagram link doesn't work :(
+ZMASLO Dangit! You're right! Changed the URLs on Friday, forgot to change the links.
pleasure to help you! :D
Mining is Pointless ...better to put your money into RIPPLE XRP
you got the point mate, gpu mining is the way to go, then gamers... well f***
Gimme the 1070ti pls lol...
Good video btw, like always 😁😁😁
+Alcamuz Enter the giveaway!! 😁😁
well.. the only moving part is the fan.... replace them....
Like the content...Dislike your framerate...LOL
Lol buying a few months old asics to make 2 dollars a day. The scams
I bought two of them and sold them immediately, dodged a bullet there...
YOU'RE RUINING PC GAMING, use ASICs and you'll be fine.
Bestbest explanation about asic I found on the internet. TKS
I'm glad that I found this. I was just about to make the purchase.
I make $10 a day with my 6 2060 supers I'll stay with them lol
Silly gamers need to just buy a Wii now. GPUs are for mining! :P
I'm making like $4 a day with a 1050TI and a 950....
lol these things are worth a lot now and you would of profited a lot.
>outdata hardware isn't relevant.
holy shit news at 11.
Lol watched an ad for asic miners right before watching this video
South Africa?
Why not import to North America or Europe?
